-
Across the North Sea from England
A drive from Edinburgh to Newcastle, then a ferry across the North Sea
-
Waking up in Holland...
on the way into Amsterdam...let the driving commence...
-
Welcome to the Netherlands...
Getting through Dutch customs without a dog is pretty easy
-
In a few words...
In a few words, here is the trip - English, Dutch, German (and a couple of hours of Danish...)
-
From Dutchland to Deustchland...
Crossing from the Netherlands to Germany. (At this point the roads are ok, so, I'm still enjoying the trip)
-
Arches on the Autobahn
Good scenery to look at...when you're driving 100 mph (except for most of it I was driving 45 through construction, which is why it took me an extra 3 hours to get across Germany...less excited now...)
-
Men at work...and still at work...
...and still at work. A little glimpse of the roadwork between here and there. This is why the trip took an extra 5 hours, which means I drove for 23 out of 26 hours. The Autobahn's not all that when you have to stop every 4 km.
-
Velkommen til Danmark!
Finally, the Danish border! Yes, it's blurry, but after Germany, I wasn't stopping to get a good picture.
-
Over the Little Belt Bridge
From Jutland to Fyn...
-
Over the Great Belt Bridge...
And from Fyn to Sjaelland and Copenhagen...1 hour to pick up Abby, say hello to friends, and three hours back into Germany for a delightful 2.5 hours to sleep in the car before the last leg...(much less excited now, actually the scale switched from "degree of excitement" to "degree of exhaustion")
-
Chad on the Autobahn
95 mph...not bad, but being left in the dust. I did have to go faster in some places, but I felt that taking a picture at those speeds would go beyond dangerous and be just flat out irresponsible.
-
Abby on the Autobahn
Turns out K-9s don't like to go fast.
-
Back to the Netherlands!
Back to the Netherlands...windmills, dykes, canals and sane speed limits
-
Abby in the Netherlands...
Here's Abby in the Netherlands. Actually, she looks the same here as she did in Germany - exhausted, just like me.
-
Abby at the Ferry...
Abby at the ferry in Amsterdam. Notice she has a bit more excitement - a change from car, car, car! (She doesn't know she's about to spend another night in the car...sorry Abby)
-
Abby in the UK
Abby in the UK. Yes - a lot like Abby in Germany and the Netherlands. But, she made it through UK customs, that should make anybody happy!
-
Abby in England
Ahhhh, the openness of the English countryside. So far, Abby likes this country the best! And they have sheep.
-
Goodbye England...
At the border, we bid a fond farewell to England...
-
...and hello Scotland!
Welcome to Scotland, Abby! Aye, she's a bonny wee lass.
