Hi all 👋🏻
Let’s update you on PART 5.1 from 11 today, our adventure to our new home 🏡 and country 🗺️
I divided this next part of our journey into smaller parts as I have so much to show you along the way 😉 it was pretty cool…
These 11 parts will be about our move “driving” ourselves to our new COUNTRY 😊 of residence. Some parts will include some subtle hints, via text or photo 😅😉 so pay attention and see if you can guess where we are heading for!
If you missed part 1, have a look here: The ferry crossing ⛴️🌊 part 1, Ireland 🇮🇪 to France 🇫🇷
For part 2, have a look here: Mainland Europe ~ France 🇫🇷 part 2
For part 3, have a look here: Part 3, France 🇫🇷 , Belgium 🇧🇪
For part 4, look here: Part 4 ~ a bit further 🇳🇱 🇩🇪
Are you ready to come along again today on this special… extra part of our trip?
Today’s selection will be of 61 photographs.
Date: 2 February 2024
The Photographs in this post are all taken with my iPhone by me 📱🤓 and a few by hubby… when I was driving 🚗 we do share each journey/ part, as the trip is toooo long for just one person to drive 😁
As I did in the last 4 parts to know how many kilometres we will drive in total. I take again a photo from the dashboard and will do so every part of the journey.
We start today at : 127.911 km
Here we goooooo 🚗🚗🚗
I am driving the first half today so hubby will show you some photographs 😊
We leave our accommodation in Germany 🇩🇪 and start driving.
The day starts greyish.
We are following signs and will enter many roadwork 🚧 stretches what doesn’t help our journey as we need to catch another ferry ⛴️
Our views… windmills and road works. Not much else for the first part next to motorways and lots… lots of cars and trucks.
Our journey is long like the others…
We pass by big cities in #Germany 🇩🇪
At our lunch stop around 1300h I take a photo of the road side restaurants and shops interior.
We had a good break and replenished our energy for the road and hubby will drive further so more photographs now from me 😁
The large parking lot 🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗
Driving out towards the motorway again 🚗😎
I see some graffiti on the back of the sign 🪧
Closer by 😎
The roads are long and we still follow the signs for the big cities 🏙️
Hahaha I had to photographs the back of this truck… would there be a rhino 🦏 in. Or maybe our belongings going also our way.
The movers said 3 to 6 weeks… so probably not 🚛🚛 🤣😂
Some nice signs showing some interesting places in the neighbourhood.
And one of many traffic jams we ended up in today… sigh ☹️
It is slowly clearing up… we hope 🤞🏻
Hhmmm let’s go right here…
Where to next 😎
Some cool bridges.
I think the sign is a bit drunk hahaha 🤣
More roadworks 🚧 ahead of us, what slow us down a lot. Luckily we anticipated them so we have plenty of time to reach our destination for the day 😇
As we pass by #HAMBURG we start seeing cranes 🏗️ from the port.
Like everywhere… 🏗️
Both sides of this road. 🛣️
Getting close to a large tunnel we go through… under Hamburg 🇩🇪
We picked the ride side… I love the lines…
And we enter 🚗🚗
The lights changed to orange.
It was a very long tunnel, but finally we see light again 😎
More road works and on the other side of the road the traffic has come fully to a standstill… a long traffic jam. We are luckily still driving slowly further.
Even the motor driver is standing still…
It seems to continue and continue… luckily it is not on our side 😊
We go… that way 😁 following green signs.
The roads remain busy… not a fan of it. So luckily hubby is driving 😃
I see another graffiti, this time along the bridge.
So very colourful… I see lettering but because of the sign I can’t make up what it says… 😎🌈
The weather is deteriorating… it gets foggy and the rain 🌧️ is starting…
Traffic is going slowly again…
I so tried to get this mural on the side of the bridge… but my phone sometimes focuses on the wrong things. Hahaha 🤣 the heat spirals in the window don’t help either. Half of the photos I have to remove 🤓
Still though this is a cool photo so I included it 😊
Aha… the sign for the ferry ⛴️ do you see it?
More rain 🌧️
Driving into Kiel, there is a back up at the traffic lights 🚦
A cool text on a little working truck…
We stand still for a long time, still following the sign to the Fähren ⛴️
Entering this large port city 🏙️
Now we see why we didn’t move for a long time. Police cars 🚔 and ambulances 🚑 on the road 🛣️
We passed by an accident… a few cars 🚗 hit each other in a junction ahead. We finally can drive further…
The city revealing itself.
I capture some of the large buildings we see along the way. Love their #architecture.
The rain isn’t making it easy to capture hahaha 🤣
A foot bridge over the road connecting buildings.
Love the round building. Very cool. It stands out well.
A square and church in the distance.
The cities casino 🎰
Have a look at the ferry ⛴️ we will be taking next 😳 it is massive. Definitely 10 times as large as the one we had for our crossing from Ireland 🇮🇪 to France 🇫🇷
We drive in for check in… and park the car in the line for cars 🚗
We walk towards the building for check in and receiving our cabin cards / keys 🔑
They have a little Stena Line ferry on display, I capture. So cute 😊
For this post, I leave it hereby… and will post in 5.2 the ferry ride, inside it and our views 🥰
So let’s look at how far we have driven in this part.
The meter says : 128.220 km
What means we have driven 309 km along the road🚗…
Adding the first total we get : 2,362 km in 6 days of driving 😉
The route (ish) we took, we always divert slightly as we adjust to road conditions…
I hope you enjoyed coming along for this special part crossing 🇮🇪🇫🇷🇧🇪🇳🇱🇩🇪
Stick around to see what will happen in part 5.2 😁 on the ferry ⛴️ 🌊🌬️
… and that’s all for today’s post my friends.

Germany is very interesting and beautiful as well. That ferry is massive!
Does your camera focus on the wrong things? Please don't blame it on the camera! 😃
Germany is great to visit.
I know. I didn’t even know we would get on such a large ferry. I would have thought it would be like the first one. But boy… this was such an experience 😁😎 it made my day!
I will try to post Monday the views from it during daylight and when we arrive in Gothenburg.
The ferry is largely gorgeous, but I would wish to travel longer in it.
I will be on the look out.
Yes…one day I would like a longer trip with such a large boat too. Like a cruise… never done that before.
Sorry… I tried yesterday. I can’t upload photos.
I hope to get Starlink going by Wednesday. 🍀🍀🍀🍀
Have a great Tuesday Joe 👋🏻

Oh my, 61 photographs! We are literally driving with you. Thank you so much for sharing, what a wonderful trip! The weather looks gloomy, typical of the area I guess? I hope that you are still enjoying the long trips! Keep well.
This way one can follow the whole journey. I have been doing this from the start. As we don’t have time to really stop on most parts. This is still interesting. And we see so much along the way 😎Thank you so much for coming along 😊
I guess that is indeed typical for the area during the winter season.
We are still loving it. Tomorrow we start driving again 🚗🚗🚗 after the break I told you about.
Have a great week!
Take care 🐝

You are kind of already doing it, but making a travelling book/log for yourself to relive the memories is awesome! I started doing it when we travelled in Europe, but I stopped, and now I only have the photographs and no story to go with it. Such is life I guess!
Yes, exactly like that. One day I can look back at it. And remember all the little details.
It will be awesome 😎
Maybe something to do when you travel next 📸 it is worth it later. As it will bring back more than just images.
Enjoy your Saturday evening 👋🏻😊
I had to relax a bit today and recharge. The drive yesterday to this accommodation was brutal hahaha ☃️☃️🌨️🌨️
Almost another week has gone by. I hope that you rested enough! This week was and still is somewhat of an admin-nightmare, but we will get trough it!
Enjoy the travels and make the best memories!
Time goes so fast… I did rest. We did drive further. Sadly I had no internet for a while to update or answer.
We managed to get Starlink up but it is still patchy due to location of it and weather.
Soon we will fix it.
We have 😁 thank you.
Hope your weekend is a bit more relaxing for you. As I fully understand crazy days.
Enjoy your evening 👋🏻

Oh my another week! I finalised a first draft of my PhD this week, so I am really beyond tired. I hope that you get the internet going! The starlink thing must be interesting to see, if it passes over you at night where you live. I am glad that you did manage to get some rest!
With every post I read, this trip is getting more interesting. I love the ferry. Can't wait to see it in your next post. I see you have published it already. I have to go out now again, but will start reading again when I get back!
Thank you for sharing the adventure of your trip with us, @littlebee4👍!
Hahaha let me tell you, this trip is awesome.
We see so much, experience so much more… and meet the kindest people along the way.
Happy to share my adventures.
I hope to share Monday the end of the ferry trip and what comes next ☃️😊

Thank you @jacoalberts 😊
Good to hear.
We were also so busy.
We got the keys today and tomorrow we go to the house 😁🥳 almost there.
My internet isn’t good. I can’t upload photos. I hope in a few days to post more updates 🍀
Have a great week!

I totally enjoy your road trip. As I'm unable to go anywhere at this time, I'll entertain my dream of travel with your posts. It feels good to go along with you on this big adventure. Your highways are huge and have way less traffic than ours. LOL! Have a fun and safe road adventure!

I am happy you can follow me and I can show you new places.
The highways are huge indeed. Sometimes we have traffic jams and wait for hours before we can continue to drive again. It just depends what country one is in.
Have a wonderful week 👋🏻🌹

Incredible journey, Jackie. Fantastic photographs.
Do you take the photos through the car windshield? or you open the window, snap the picture and close it again?

Thank you so much 👋🏻😊
The photographs are indeed taken through the windscreen or side windows.
Some focus wrong some work out. Hahaha 🤣
To open the window is not enough time when I see something… we are past it in a moment while driving !LOL
Have a great day!

I saw the Ikea sign a few times, you're going to Sweden!!!! 😄
Haha IKEA… they did come by a few times.
The ferry is indeed heading to Sweden… now is the question, will we stay or drive further 😁 still many parts to go 😇
How are you dear friend @littlebee4 good morning
It is incredible that you were able to see those colorful graffiti, and the rhinoceros inside the truck, the signs on public roads are true works of art
It is incredible to see a structure built out of square, apparently that day the engineer was missing, at least the sign would have been located straight
From what can be seen, they are very concerned about the state of the road, there are many road works
What a pity that it rained on the trip, the routes become dangerous when it rains
Casinos are never lacking in cities, in each one you visit there is one of them
more than three hundred kilometers, that is another great advance.
Thank you very much for another update on your travels.
have a happy start to the week
Good afternoon my friend @jlufer 👋🏻😊
The rhinoceros was so great to see. I loved that truck.
Hahaha the sign, so funny to see.
Somehow a good thing they repair the roads, just timing will change everything then.
We did go careful with the rain, especially when the visual got poorly.
We seem to drive a lot. I am so curious how many km’s we will have driven in the end. Soon we will know.
You are welcome, I am so happy to have you around and part of our journey. Thank you!
Have a great day 😊🐝

I was right about still being in German but now I have to guess where that ferry is going? I'm going with Sweden but don't think that will be your final destination 😉 Interesting the tunnels under cities. This is not very common in the US.
Yep, this one was all the way in Germany.
The ferry is indeed going to Sweden 😎
Let the coming parts tell you more about it.
The tunnels are very interesting. Some can be km’s long. I haven’t encountered it really yet in the US.
Have a great Monday 👋🏻

So, Ph and I suspect that you are moving to....oh no, I can't tell where are you heading haha, we will wait until part 11 :D
But those IKEA signs are like subliminal messages 😂
Aawww Hahaha let’s see if you both are right in part 11 😂😉
The ferry does go to Sweden though.
To be honest, the IKEA signs in the photos are not intentional 🙂 they just happened along the way. As we drove the main roads close to main cities. Not sure how many came by so far. !LOL
Have a great week both of you 👋🏻
Thank you, all the best in your journey too and we will wait for the updates :)
You are welcome 😊
Thank you so much!
Happy Wednesday 🌹
Road trips aren't always boring, this proves it. Hey, what a great gift Julia gave her mother-in-law. Hahaha...
I hope your new city of residence is revealed at some point, it's still a mystery.
Nope, ours are not for sure 🤣😂
She did give her a great gift. It was really fun to see.
It will be when we get to part 11. Now we are half way… we drove so far through 5 countries.
Have a wonderful week 👋🏻

Omg this is amazing, the way you approach you moving to another place which isn't easy. My daughter always insist people to do this kind of vlogs instead of be crying all the way. A few had listen and now all settled down, thank her.
Thank you so much @bedardg 😊 moving isn’t easy, far or close by.
For me this is the only way. I have been moving my whole life.
The next country will be my 8th country of residence and I lost count of moves after my 30th hahaha
That’s indeed good. Great some listened.
I hope for once I can settle as I don’t remember living in one place for 1 year.
Thanks for coming along and joining me on this journey. We crossed 5 countries so far 😎
Have a beautiful week!
