Drove from Luxembourg to IJmuiden to board the ferry Princess Seaways for the trip to Newcastle. Around Bruxelles a lot of traffic jams. We hit one with 45 minutes delay. After a stop in Puttershoek an easy drive to IJmuiden. At the port not only a lot of bikes but also oldtimers. The car stored on deck 5. Took a while to get on the shipRead more

Alnwick Gardens
May 28, 2016 in England ⋅ ☀️ 13 °C
Alnwick Gardens is located just next to the castle.

The Alnwick Garden gives pleasure in so many ways to so many people from all walks of life. It has become a contemporary pleasure garden, which brings joy to millions. When I see photographs of it in darkness I feel that I am watching it sleep, resting in preparation for the people it has to entertain the following day. To me a garden without people is dead, and people have brought The Alnwick Garden to life and restored its soul. -- Duchess of NorthumberlandRead more

Just having a coffee during a nice drive along the coastal road

Tynemouth Castle and Priory on the coast of North East England was once one of the largest fortified areas in England. Overlooking the North Sea and the River Tyne, it dominates the headland. With its 2000 year history and beautiful views it is the perfect location for a family fun day out. A popular spot to enjoy seaside fish and chips with a view and great location to have a picnic, lie back and enjoy the sea air.Read more

Luxembourg
Listeni/ˈlʌksəmbɜːrɡ/ (Luxembourgish: Lëtzebuerg; German: Luxemburg), officially the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, is a landlocked country in western Europe. It is bordered by Belgium to the west and north, Germany to the east, and France to the south. Its capital Luxembourg City is together with Brussels and Strasbourg one of the three official capitals of the European Union and seat of the European Court of Justice, highest juridical instance in the EU. Its culture, people and languages are highly intertwined with its neighbors, making it essentially a mixture of French and Germanic cultures. The repeated invasions by its neighbor countries, especially in World War II, resulted in the country's strong will for mediation between France and Germany and led to the foundation of the European Union.Read more
