”🌅 EPIC SUNRISE while moving COUNTRIES with a FERRY 🚢 ” ~ PART 2

Hi all 👋🏻

Let’s continue where I left off yesterday… and see the LAST PART of this ferry crossing 🚢 with an EPIC SUNRISE captured in PHOTOS and VIDEO 🌅

This is the STENA LINE FERRY originating from LIVERPOOL UK 🇬🇧

If you missed yesterdays post, have a look here: ”LET’S MOVE COUNTRIES WITH A FERRY 🚢 ” Stena Line - Liverpool (Birkenhead) UK 🇬🇧 ~ Market Friday PART 1

Today’s selection will be of 43 photographs and 1 video 🎥
Yes… not as many as yesterday hehehe 🤭 I could refrain myself.
Date: 7 May 2023.
The Photographs and video in this post are all taken with my iPhone 📱🤓
I will follow the time stamps on them. So it looks like you are experiencing my adventures with me, to 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻 #discover everything what I saw, like the little #details seen through my eyes and the stunning #sunrise, #scenery, #ferry, #views, #port, and #boat. 😊

So after I finally fell asleep after all the excitement 🤩from yesterday… yep… even with the car alarms going off, which you didn’t hear in the cabin, luckily 😇
I woke up early as had set the alarm clock ⏰ as we would arrive early in the morning at 6:30h

The first thing I did was getting dressed and step out onto the deck next to the cabin.

And I was greeted with something special 🥰 an EPIC SUNRISE 🌅

Let me share this with you, how could I not 😉

Look at this 🥰 it is 05:48am here.

I also see already land around me…

I was awake enough to take a video of this moment 😎

Have a look and listen 😉 yes… no crazy sounds this time, I promise!

Nobody else was around… do you see how CALM the Sea 🌊 is and how silent… just a little hummmm from the motors of the ferry. 🥰
I loved this moment.

The colours are so soft right now.

Looking towards the right… Land 🏝️

There is a mist over the waterfront what helps in seeing the soft colours.

The SUNRISE is changing it’s intensity as the sun ☀️ is trying to break through the #clouds. See it’s beautiful reflection 🥰

As the door can’t be opened from the deck… I had put a chair into it so I could get easily to the cabin. 🤓

I capture some #artistic #photographs 😎

Here I was trying to get the flag fully open, but there wasn’t enough of an breeze to do so.

Look at this calm see… so serene. It was such a moment you don’t forget easily.

Industrial towers peeking through the morning mist.

On the other side I see mountains ⛰️

The sun is trying so hard here… it goes to bright yellow now. A little boat 🚤 passes by and destroys the smooth surface…

It makes some waves… and I see some green reflections in the waves behind it. Do you see it too or are you distracted with this sunrise 🌅 😊 I know… I am hahaha 😁 it’s beautiful. Let’s enjoy it together.

Back to some artistic captures… 😉
Moi:

A church in the distance… and the ripples on the surface from the little boat. They do look pretty cool here 😎 all do I say it myself.

At 06:11am we arrive in the harbour and are on our way to the docks.

I decided to go up one flight of stairs again to the roof/ deck, to have a better view.

The chimneys…

Another Stena Line ferry is besides me.

It’s the Stena Nordica.

The sun is still showing off its beauty 🌅 and a wooden pier we pass by.

Suddenly I notice the following… have a look at the wavy asfalt the large truck is standing on.

Here you see it better… do look also at the real waves 🌊 in the distance that roll onto the beach above it.

The cabin door…

And one more capture… the freight port.

We (everybody on this ferry) need to head to the car now or assembly area, to get ready to leave the ferry.

At 06:51am we start driving… vroom vroom 🚗🚗

All the way outside and back in again on the other side, like yesterday.

And don’t forget going down…. 😉

Following all the other cars… we got on first last time, so we are last this time (kinda… with the exception of a few more cars)

And almost of the ferry…

👋🏻👋🏻 Bye bye Ferry, thank you so much for the smooth sailing 🥰

Following signs for the exit

The sun is shining bright now.

The exit of this area is going really fast…

Last stretch…

And we can drive out, just like that.
Most of you knows where I am or are guessing…
Let’s have a look at the sign:

BELFAST yep… that’s Northern Ireland. Still UK 🇬🇧
I must disappoint you here. I haven’t arrived in my next country of residence YET

As some know, the UK 🇬🇧 refused my residency so I need to move a bit further 🤓

So we need some more adventures and some more traveling… 🧳

Here we are driving around the port area of BELFAST Northern Ireland. The mist is still there as it is still early… like 06:55am early.

We are crossing some crossings and I see… in the distance:

This awesome sculpture of a seahorse 🥰

I like it a lot… what a beautiful artwork.

If you know Belfast, the quickest way to get out of it is motorway… but… if you know me… that’s not what we are doing hahaha 🤣
Let’s go to the backroads and small country lanes…

For many more new adventures… 😎

…and here I say “that’s all for today’s post my friends” We have a long journey ahead of us…. So join me SOON for more #updates, #adventures, #stories and #photographs soon 😎👋🏻 Even some #artworks once in a while will come by” 🎨
Thank you so much for looking, and reading.

Beautiful spot to watch the sunset. Definitly worth getting up early for. It's surprising how calm the water was that day - like glass.

It was, and I was so lucky with the location of the cabin.
I am normally not an early riser hehehe but this was a nice surprise.
I didn’t expect either to see the sea soooo calm and smooth. Remarkable 😎

I am so lucky that I make a ferry crossing once a week at sunset and sunrise from Koh Samui to the mainland. Over water, the views are so beautiful. Your ferry is rather bigger than ours though lol.

Safe travels, you'll soon be there:-)

The most beautiful way to experience sunrise is through the eyes of a new port! Familiar, yet so very foreign. Certainly inviting.

I love your stories and the reveal you have with each one.

I am looking forward to your new journey and the adventures you will be having.

The little boats and the waves, it is certainly distracting with the sun rising and coloring my world. And you! :) I see you, your hair flowing in the breeze from the sea.

Good morning, Jackie! Happy Saturday! Enjoy your day!

Thank you so much Denise 👋🏻😊 good morning to you, almost afternoon. Happy Saturday!

It is indeed… and what a serene sunrise this was 🥰🌅 I won’t forget this one…
It is extra exciting as I never had been on this island. A truly new start… again. Can’t wait to explore and go on adventures. At the moment I am car less as hubby went back to the UK with it. So will have to jump on some busses once sorted a bit more. We are pretty rural here. (Again)

Thank you, happy I can share them with you.
I did put a me in there again think my hair is getting longgg can almost sit on it right now.

This morning was so perfect in every way. What a journey it has been and to be welcomed with such a sunrise 🥰

Have a great day @dswigle 🤗

So, you made it to Belfast, Northern Ireland!
Of all the photos, I think that my favorite is that when a boat was weaving through the waves… and I did see some green reflections in the waves behind it and 😁 it’s beautiful.
How long will you be staying?
It must be exciting!
Have fun, and see you tomorrow!!!

Did I hear you say "Moi"? 😃 I understand that word from South Africa 😃

We are crossing some crossings and I see… in the distance:

lol I had to laugh here about the crossing the crossing 😃

The sunrise is so beautiful, especially when it was creeping up from the clouds, that must have been a magical moment Jackie, don't the trip feel short?

Hahaha moi as in French for me. Is that the same you know?
In Dutch we say mij or ik.

Sometimes I just write and looking back, it is a funny one. Crossing the crossing hahaha 🤣

The crossing was about 8 hours only, so it was rather short I would say.

It surely was such a magical moment Joe, so happy I could share this with you. Thanks for being around here 😎
Have a lovely day further 👋🏻

Oh! How come you needed to show your passport at Liverpool if you're just going over to Belfast? The timing must be a bit annoying as you barely get a proper sleep and you're up again.

No idea.
Yes… it was a weird timing. As after all the excitement it took a while to fall asleep and then… the alarm clock goes and you have to get ready to drive off. So you don’t have much time to properly sleep.
Next time… (in July) I have the quick ferry Holyhead to Dublin.. that one takes just a few hours during the day. Will be a whole other experience. It is also much smaller than the ferry we had.
Have a great Sunday 👋🏻😊

Traveling is always a lovely experience, I really enjoyed your adventure and I really enjoyed the sunrise and I envy you 😆, I already felt like taking the ferry from Mazatlan to La Paz, it is a 12 hour trip but I have postponed it for a long time, maybe I am afraid of the sea but now that I saw your trip I think I will do it.

Have a nice Sunday.

I fully understand… most people have those thought. But… let me tell you… you just have to get used to it and those thoughts will go away. Like you say already.
Eventually you deserve some day offs and you can spend some money on you. The vacation. Try some weekend city trips. It will go away.
My mind is never free either… always thinking and wondering. But going out and about, on holidays or walks in nature helps. It will switch off.
