Now returning with the 9th part of this 12 part series - this time in the Benelux region mainly, with some brief forays into places previously visited in northern France and Germany. I've read about this region that a lot of ProMod's developers hail from there, and also that it is basically 'finished' - so I'm looking forward to seeing how a completely revamped base map area can look.
Benelux is of course 3 different countries that for some historic reason connected (I guess) with the early years of the European Community tend to get lumped together. Anyway, today we're starting in Metz in France, heading through Luxembourg and up to Liege in Belgium.
The imagined time is mid-to-late April, so Spring is here at last, in all its radiant flowery glory. Well, radiant on the days it isn't raining, anyway.
Early morning kickoff in Metz. Driving the new model DAF.
Picking up logs near Metz. I'm going to drop them off at another logging area north of Luxembourg. As you do, when once again there are no jobs where you want to go, and you are trying to make a thread about a European tour...
Here we go... looking like a cross between the Annoying Orange and Mr Happy. What were the DAF designers thinking?
Entering Luxembourg. Don't blink, or you'll miss it.
Nice!!
A vanilla factory in the sunny spring.
Moving north. I think we've already left Luxembourg.
The DAF almost looks okay here.
Hey... look what I got in exchange for my logs. What is it? Definitely not Lamb's Stomachs. Well, whatever.
Power station near Liege, which was very close to the logging depot, but the road to it was blocked. Which was good, as I could enjoy some more of the lovely scenery while taking a more roundabout route.
Eventually we reached Liege.
That's it for today...
Cheers!
