Hi all ๐๐ป

The 11 parts will be about our move driving ourselves to a new COUNTRY ๐ some parts will include some subtle hints, via text or photo ๐ ๐ so pay attention and see if you can guess where we are heading for!
If you missed the update. I am moving to a new country (again) via a longgggg road trip ๐๐๐๐ from almost 1 MONTH! ๐๐
Missed part 1, have a look here: The ferry crossing โด๏ธ๐ part 1
With this post Iโm joining in at the Wednesday Walk challenge and Make me Smile challenge. That are hosted by @tattoodjay and @elizacheng every week on Wednesday.
โผ๏ธHave a look: Here in the Wednesday Walk Community if you want to join in!โฆ the community is run by @tattoodjay.
Look at his last #Wednesdaywalk post.
It will tell you also the rules of joining at the Wednesday walk posts ๐ come join us! It is fun!
Are you ready to come along and find out everything from this exciting and epic adventure?
To find out where I โmightโ be traveling toโฆ
A few more details first ๐
Todayโs selection will be of 58 photographs.
Date: 29 January 2024
The Photographs in this post are all taken with my iPhone by me ๐ฑ๐ค and a few by hubbyโฆ when I was driving ๐ we do share each journey/ part, as the trip is toooo long for just one person to drive ๐
LETS START NOW, ARE YOU COMING ALONG!
As I did in part 1 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 : 126.899 km
Our journey starts today after a walk around in Saint Hymer and will drive further into France ๐ซ๐ท our route:
After we wake up we have breakfast in this cute and cosy CHAMBRES DโHรTES where we stayed for 1 night.
So French ๐ฅฐ there were 2 tables for guests. They have 2 rooms.
I take a few photos from the surroundings while wandering outside for a little while to stretch the legs hehehe.
The path we drove our car on to the parking spot. It is very rural here as you can see. ๐
Letโs walk a bit further and we see the entrance to the CHAMBRES DโHรTES. What means we got a room plus breakfast.
Itโs a large farmhouseโฆ so beautiful, donโt you think?
We couldnโt see much last evening as it was already dark when we arrivedโฆ
Look at the cool architecture. I like it ๐
Butโฆ we have to go on our journey now.
I hop behind the steering wheel for the first half.
So the next photos are from hubby ๐
This old building was fascinating as we drove by. Look at the wooden beams in the walls ๐ค they go back hundreds of years.
We drive through little villages.
And forests through the French country side ๐ซ๐ท๐ณ๐ฒ
Some cool buildings along the road too.
Driving along the river the SEINE on the left.
Going down and up the hills along this road.
Before we left I found half way our journey a cute restaurant where we will stop, eat something and swap driversโฆ here we drove into this village ๐
After our meal I take these few photos of the information sign in town. Itโs 13:26h
And about 9 degrees Celsius.
We swapped drivers so hubby is driving now and I can take many photos again ๐๐
Do you see what I see?
Blue lamp posts. It was cool to see ๐๐๐๐ they stand out so much.
Now we are heading for a large city: ROUEN
If you look closely you see a large bridge over the river SEINE.
It seems our route is going under the cityโฆ through a tunnel ๐
Almostโฆ
And now we are in the tunnel, it was a very long tunnel.
Next we are back on the countryside of France.
Following road signs and passing by many road works ๐ง๐ง๐ง
Where are we heading for? ๐
The road seems so longโฆ in the distance we see valleys and hills.
I capture a valley besides us. Beautiful views.
More signs to follow ๐
My favourite photo of the day next to the first one (thumbnail) ๐ฅฐ
The windmillsโฆ
Along the road we are on now we find many colourful bridges. On the side there are colourful tiles that show something from the surroundings. Towns, monuments etc.
It brightens up the journeyโฆ I capture a few for you ๐
Cute!
The next oneโฆ
โฆ I see a windmill ๐
The fields are vastโฆ the landscape is flat now.
Passing by a few more villages.
A nice church โช๏ธ
Going down into the valleys again ๐๐๐ vroom vroomโฆ
We see trucks coming up the hill very slowโฆ. They are heavy.
More villagesโฆ it is so typical French.
Following some more road signs now. We are off the beaten path.
Seeing the sign we need to go off the road towards the little village we will be staying for the night.
Exit to PIERREMONT๐ชง
I see it in the distance ๐
Ok okโฆ another favourite photo of the day hihihi ๐
The view is just perfect!
What do you think?
After we reach the destination, before we switch off the carโฆ I capture the km again.
So letโs look at how far we have driven in this part.
The meter says : 127.160 km
Means we have driven 261 km along the road๐โฆ
Adding the first total we get : 1,401 km in 3 days.
Nice ๐๐
Let me show you the accommodation for the night:
Another old farmhouse. The courtyard is so cute ๐ฅฐ
We parked off the street under the roof of the barn.
View to the right.
View to the left, in the trees there are many bird feeders. The birds did visit when we were inside.
Letโs walk to the barn to show you all the little cute rustic details:
Looks like this is a gathering place for dinners in the warmer months and maybe a painting workshop here and there ๐
As we enter the accommodation on the side. I notice the handmade ceramic tiles.
Remember when I was tiling at my in-laws last year?
Some of the handmade tiles had also animal paws ๐พ in them.
When the tiles are drying outsideโฆ they happen occasionally when animals walk over them ๐ฅฐ it gives the tile floors so much extras ๐ these tiles are easy to put down, the ones I put down were hexagon. With all different sizes and thicknessesโฆ it was a challenge. Hahaha I did post about it last year ๐
Little sitting nook.
Dining tableโฆ I love the paintings around.
Kitchen area, we can cook ๐
One of the upstairs bedrooms. It was all much bigger than we thought.
Many cute details like the dried lavender ๐
We had a good rest here and wished we could have stayed longerโฆ butโฆ we have to keep going ๐
Hope you enjoyed coming along for this part and are curious to see what will happen in part 3 ๐
Join me againโฆ ๐๐ป๐
โฆ and thatโs all for todayโs post my friends.

Lol, hubby has to get better with the photos otherwise he is in trouble with Jackie
Nice beautiful villages, you passed through, they are so quiet and clean out there. Nice places to reside.
I remembered you tilling last year, you hurt your back in the process if I remember correctly.
The accommodation is lovely, I like it ๐
I think you are heading to Cyprus Jackie.
Hahaha I have to stop moving the car than ๐คฃ๐๐ฅฒ๐ it is hard to photograph while moving.
We loved France ๐ซ๐ท itโs so cute. We might consider it in the futureโฆ
Yes I did. Sadlyโฆit still gives me problems till the day. I just need to stop moving and packing boxes.
Really, Cyprus. That would be cool. It isnโt that.
I had no internet or even a mobile connection the last 2 days, will tell you soon whyโฆ
We reached our accommodation for the night now and here we have Wi-Fiโฆ so I posted a StreetArt post just in time and wrote part 3. I post it in the morning before we drive furtherโฆ
I am a bit behind but soon we stay somewhere a whole week. So can catch up in the evening. ๐
I hope you are well Joe, enjoy your weekend/ Sunday!
!ALIVE
Lol okay am wrong with my first guess,
I will check out part 3. Its not easy to keep up with the traveling and internet issues, you are doing well to share your journey with us regardless.
Thanks, Jackie.
Travel safe.
Hahaha so many countries left ๐๐
Itโs hard indeed, as the traveling alone already takes up most of our days. Hahaha let alone no mobile reception or a good internet connection at the accommodations we stay. I keep trying โบ๏ธ
You are welcome Joe ๐
We arrived at the next stay, we will be here 2 nightsโฆ so a little breather in between. So needed ๐
Have a great new week!
!ALIVE
Great Jackie, I still haven't check out your latest post part 3 yet, it's just too busy with me...
I will be traveling away to Nelson for work on Wednesday.
I will definitely catch up on your travel posts.
Enjoy!
No worries Joe, when you have some time. If notโฆ enjoy every free time you have ๐๐
Cool, another place you will see.
Travel safely!
Thank you so much ๐๐ป๐ have a great new week!
Yes, I am looking forward to the trip

Hello dear friend @littlebee4 good morning
I can't believe that the journey to reach your new home lasts a month, it is a truly incredible journey.
I love the roads with a lot of nature around them, and the place where they stayed is very beautiful, the wooden constructions fascinate me, beautiful architecture
It is not very common to see blue streetlights in the city, they are usually white or black, these look great
What beautiful shots of the trip, it is incredible that they have already been traveling more than 1400 kilometers. Thank you very much for sharing this road trip experience.
Have a great Wednesday morning.
Hello dear friend @jlufer ๐๐ป๐
Yes, itโs amazing to think about it. It is epic in every way. A true incredible journey. I am happy I can share it with you.
The nature is everywhere. We try to skip big cities and go to the nature and countryside. It is much more pleasant to drive and wander around.
More km to come ๐
Have a great Wednesday ๐๐ป๐
Thank you kindly!

And the blue street lights did make me smile too. Very quaint.
Loving every moment of it and we are not even half way yet hahaha

Both guest houses look cozy completely different in character.
Countryside is delightful, those wind turbines not something I would call pretty.
Rolling green hills with old church much more appealing, still enjoying your journey makes life interesting.
