I Got HIRED To CLOSE A Church Door In A TEENY TINY Village!

We went to the Teeny Tiny Town of Elburg. And when I say small I mean really small. Plus I was asked to close the door on a roof of a church to pay for my admission to the church.

[@lalalauraann]

LOL you guys are SO cute between Amanda hovering in the background, Chris claiming how late it is, Miles announcing he's trying the syrup, the umbrella that kept hitting Chris in the head....honestly loved ALL of it! Looks like a really fun, adventurous day!

[@Gracee7-b2m]

Why is she wearing a umbrella all the time?

[@Ch0copop]

Haha, how fun to see you were in Elburg! I was born very close to that town, so I used to visit regularly when I was a kid so I can shed some light on the little houses. Those tiny houses and the little windows you filmed are connected to a tunnel system (called Kazematten) that was used as a defense system for Elburg. Back in medieval times, when the city was under attack, these tunnels were used as a bunker. The windows were used to shoot at the enemy, mostly with gunpowder, which came to Europe in the 13th century. The little houses are probably ventilation for these tunnels. Another interesting fact: the archway you filmed (called Vischpoort, which means fish gate) was used to serve as a lighthouse since Elburg used to be next to the sea. Our Dutch ancestors turned that sea into land with the famous windmills. Walibi is actually where the sea used to be!

[@AndreasScout]

The stone cottages are for airflow into the defense wall that is surrounding Elburg. Originally Elburg was a fortified city. Bit of history: Elburg appears in written records in 796 ( but that just means there were people living on that spot hundreds of years earlier. These places being named requires a certain amount of people that are wealthy enough to be taxed or have being part of a lordship). The defensive moat+ wall was build around 1392-1396. It was also in that period the city got its fishing rights and salt harvest, which made it a rather wealthy city and was incorporated in the "Hansa league" ( also known as the Hanseatic league) which was a whole lot of northern European and western European cities focused on trade ( and because they were spots where specialty goods were created, traded and exported) and because of the insane wealth this league gathered they invested in upgrading the defenses of the cities and villages in their league. So its sort of a defense and trade league. Some important cities in the Hansa League were Lubeck, Hamburg, Bremen (Germany), Bruges, Ghent, Antwerp ( Belgium, just below Netherlands) though loosely aligned they had important hansa offices in their cities. This was the same for London, York, Edingbugh, Sandwish and Dover (UK and Scotland and just like Belgium they were more loosely aligned but had very important trading offices of the hansa), Kiel ( Denmark) major Hansa city, as was Stockholm ( Sweden) and Gdansk ( Poland) to name a few. Its is more nuanced than that with about 100 or so towns and villages that are fully or loosely alligned ( for example like Bruges or London).

[@lisawhipple8929]

WOW!! That is amazing to know! Thank you for sharing this information with us!!! ❤

[@HouseOfAmarna]

Neat!

[@elizabethturner9875]

Thank you for that history lesson. It is so interesting. I love history.

[@susieuramoto7491]

Amazing! Thank you for sharing this.

[@co-hostamanda3240]

Cool!!!

[@SabrinaHClifford]

I love that you turned this into a positive adventure! I tend to have anxiety attacks when things don't go as planned on vacation, and your positive attitude turned everything around.

[@englitob]

It would have been hilarious if they had a Tron pinball machine and it was out of service!

[@provostparkpass]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Andrea_Dopierala]

This may be my most favorite episode of Provost Park Pass ever! I love how you turned what could've been a bummer of a day into such a magical experience. But of course you did, because you have such a positive attitude and adventurous spirit. What a fantastic day!

[@Doughgasm]

These first two videos should be themed 'What happens when you don't have Getaway Today plan your vacation' :) It's this stuff though that makes family stories that last generations.

[@co-hostamanda3240]

Heheh😅

[@matthewhildebrandt1901]

I'm so glad that Walabi Park was closed, because this was fantastic! What an amazing little village. That church was gorgeous...thank you so much for taking us in there!

[@AtticHaunt321]

Please tell Amanda she is lovely inside and out. Make up or no make up, we love to see her smiling face.

[@starks1974]

Elburg has a moat around it! That's crazy. Love that the family can experience history like this, that's why I love to travel in Europe as you can next to something that's a thousand years old.

[@suzyq5865]

Love that Miles is your backup singer on the finale! 🤗

[@jilladams4891]

Haha!! That guy probably thought I finally found a sucker to shut that door so I don’t have to do it! In the end you guys were the winners!! Such a great experience!!

[@emilyfischer5849]

This is an experience you will never forget. I love how your family is embracing it with a positive attitude.

[@CheriB702]

Amanda is so pretty she doesn’t need makeup! Love your adventurous positive attitudes!

[@douglascampbell9809]

If given the chance the one thing I would visit in the Netherlands would be t the Oversteek Bridge at Nijmegen. It incorporates 48 pairs of street lights. They light up at a walking speed every night with a Dutch military veteran walking at the same pace that lights switch on. This is a memorial for the forty-eight US soldiers from the 504th Parachute Infantry Division and the 307th Airborne Engineer Battalion that were killed crossing the river in Operation Market Garden in WW2. I'm not crying your crying...😭

[@darlys1962]

Thank you for sharing this tradition. Very touching.

[@angievandebroek5917]

That tradition is really impressive. I participated in this ceremony (also for citizens) several times. I live in Nijmegen.

[@pegedey1291]

What a lovely adventure you had. And to think that 80 years ago D day was happening to keep all our freedom.

[@cab5917]

❤️

[@kittykaleidoscope434]

👍❤🚢🙏

[@jefflittleton2777]

Don't you just love those small European towns? They are like walking into history. Some of the buildings are older than the USA

[@freeballin26354]

Chocomel, the best chocolate milk on the planet.....you need to shake it first tho.

[@Daveandjeannerose]

Hello Chris, Amanda, and Miles. This was a great opportunity to see things you have not seen before. The church is beautiful inside. Thank you for sharing this with us! ❤❤❤

[@Kimma_bee]

Hey Provost family. That’s what family vacation is all about. You make the best of it. My family all live over in the Netherlands. Love Dutch pancakes. Best with butter and brown sugar rolled up. You must try fresh Ollebollen and strop waffles. Hope you sleep better tonight.

[@maryelmaguire3161]

My ancestral homeland. I have great great grandparents born in Holland.

[@handyba5226]

I’m of Dutch descent as well - grew up near Dutch Albany Ny lol

[@jackiealonzo8925]

I love the videos of this part of your trip even though it went sideways on you. Make an adventure out of it! It’s your “Grisswold family vacation” 😅. And the little houses are fairie houses. Did you ever watch the Eurovision movie with Will Farrell?

[@phvrieler]

Tip in the Netherlands: do not walk in the middle of the street although there isn’t a lot of traffic. You do have to watch out for bikes. You probably annoyed them when Amanda was swirving in the background in the middle of the street.

[@croatiansamurai7361]

Amanda is still beautiful. Even though she couldn't go in the sun. What a nice village of Elburg

[@esthermontoya6681]

What a wonderful adventure. So glad the park was closed. It was meant to be ❤❤❤

[@tongeeb46]

I love all your videos but this unplanned adventure is amazing. I am glad the Universe and your families positivity lead you on this detour to explore the cute little village.

[@dcbourne]

This was great. Many years ago, I lived in the Netherlands and spent 2 months in a city called Zwolle which was not too far from there. What a wonderful travel memory for you.

[@singingchefford]

Please! If you are in the Netherlands, check out the Efteling! A fairytale Themepark and also one of the best theme parks in Europe! 🔥🔥

[@co-hostamanda3240]

Such a peaceful day!! Woa

[@steveninaz9576]

Wow, that church is beautiful. I love old churches, so much history. Thank you for sharing.

[@MelissaAndAlex]

I want to go there so bad just to see a country that prioritizes pedestrians over cars. Riding a bike there seems so fun. And look at the community feel, the peacefulness. All because no cars!

[@PNWHockey]

Loved the Bells and Church. Beautiful little town I would probably want to stay Very nice. I can't wait to see tomorrow's video (filmed today ... most likely) 😆

[@lamartya.4042]

You Kids make even the simplest of places a pleasure and joy. You must come with me if i can ever do the tourist thing .

[@ktgrandma2213]

I am in love with that town!!!! That church was amazing and those bells!!!!! Thanks you guys love your family. From our family to yours ❤️

[@kellbell60]

Flexibility and adaptability are the keys to a fun vacation. Being open can lead to experiences that you would have never planned for. Kinda like planning the perfect day at Disney, and your favorite ride(s) are closed! You don’t go home, you go ride something else! Have fun

[@deniseflygirl]

This is reminding me of National Lampoon’s Vacation to Walley World. I love how you and Amanda are staying positive and finding things to do together.

[@Paolo_DLR]

Looks like a good UV umbrella. We need that.

[@lizzieizzard]

Chris this is the best blog you’ve done - thank you for sharing you never cease to amaze us all by showing how beautiful you are

[@barbhawkinson659]

I can’t believe that put you so far from the check in if nobody is there. So crazy. I loved seeing tge little town you visited and so happy you had a delicious meal 🥰

[@barbehrhart]

Oh Amanda we all love you with or without makeup! Your beautiful smile and fun personality are all the “makeup” you need!

[@Pennyeq]

Hello! What an adorable village! I love all your adventures. Tell Amanda she is beautiful without makeup.

[@bonita6url]

You are just living your best life! Cheers and have an amazing trip!

[@kristiemoore7741]

Hello beautiful family. My 8yr old son can't wait each day for new video ❤😂

[@cab5917]

Neither can this almost 76 year old, wait, that is! Love these adventures! Keep them coming. Oh, be sure to get some ready currency for whatever country you visit! Machines are not reliable! 😊

[@DianaMcLaughlin-q8o]

What an amazing adventure!! Amanda, you are beautiful just the way you are. I'm so happy that you and Miles are sharing this with Chris. You can see the happiness in his eyes and in his voice.

[@sylvie797]

That's what I call making the best of it!!! Sometimes when things go wrong, it can lead to the best travel memories.

[@bentley1530]

This trip started like the beginning of a folklore horror movie but things are looking up! Also I learned one should get a small amount of currency because we can not always count on modern technology, especially in teeny tiny towns. Thanks for bringing ups along.

[@julieross193]

What a fun day it turned out to be for you. Great memories made. 😊♥️

[@nienke7713]

Bungel is a brand of stroop, just like the other bottle. I believe Bungel adds some glucose to the stroop to mellow out the flavour a bit and kids may like it better because it's a bit more mellow

[@puddin6796]

Another great video by the Provost family!!!

[@cab5917]

What a serendipity adventure. That church was beautiful. Angels watching over your family, for sure! Thanks for the vids!

[@amandamoore6275]

That church was stunning. This day of no plans will be the memories that stay with Miles for a lifetime. This might be one of my favorite videos. I thought it was the hotel series. This one won. 💙💚

[@NesMee-gz1rg]

Oh my gosh lol, I just found one of your Efteling videos, loved it btw, and am browsing your videos to find you visited my home town! How cool! My husband and son will be tickled to hear that for a day, they weren't the only Americans in Elburg 😂 Bless you guys, love your positive energy!

[@lonepop1]

I love that village! It looks like what I remember from over 50 years ago! And even then, when we went into areas like that we felt like we had gone back in time. But I have been puzzled that you're the only ones in the campground in JUNE. As I recall, Europeans loved travel adventures. WE camped around Europe and the campgrounds were busy in May thru September. But that was 55 years ago! Hey! We were up on the tippy top of a church back then too! But then that was a place called the Vatican...and I understand they don't let people go up to the top of the Vatican dome anymore. Oh! And mandeln means almond.

[@TaniaEstes]

I don't know much about those fairy cottages, but they have something to do with battles.

[@rizz917]

Btw, those little tiny stone cottages are for the mother-in-law 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@cab5917]

Oh, oh, my son-in-law would agree! Too funny! 😂

[@kimberlygollehon5880]

If the resort is empty I’m running. 😂😂😂 I think I was terrorized by my big brothers with scary movies as a child. You guys are such a joy to watch. I love love love your videos and your bravery and adventurous personalities. ❤

[@nienke7713]

Fun fact: walibi Holland is not in Holland. Walibi is in the province of Flevoland, which is a province we built mostly from scratch out of what used to be sea. We built the afsluitdijk (closure dike) to seperate the Zuiderzee (south sea) from the Noordzee (north sea), and due to fresh water coming from the rivers whilst excess water was pumped out to the Noordzee, the Zuiderzee slowly turned into a freshwater lake now called IJsselmeer (Ijssel lake), they then poldered a section of it, turning it into land which is now most of flevoland; there was one little fishers island, Urk, that was now attached to the new land and also became a town part of the bew province; Urk is known for being an extremely conservative christian town, where many things are still as if they were in the past compared to most of the Netherlands. Meanwhile, Holland is a region within the Netherlands comprising of the provinces of Noord Holland (North Holland) and Zuid Holland (South Holland). But because this region has historically been very influential, it is sometimes (mistakenly) used to describe all of the Netherlands (much to the chagrin of some people living in other provinces), and some within the Netherlands also use it for the entire country when it's convenient to them (especially in things like international trade, tourism, and sports).

[@DeadeyeJoe37]

(watching the food coming out) Yes, I'll have what they're having....

[@jimruddell3265]

Beautiful town! That church tower stairway looked a bit closed in for my taste but I'd do it for the view.

[@jsb7975]

Elburg castle is a gem of the middle-ages and is very large. The whole terrain there is also hundreds of years old ....

[@mandilake9227]

Loving your adventure! So glad you were able to find some food LOL! The bells were absolutely beautiful, thanks for sharing your awesome experiences. Can’t wait to see the theme park!!!!😊

[@Romanavsthegame]

Shocked that this walibi park is still afloat tbf ! Flevoland (the province you are in) is kinda famous for being a boring area among the dutch people 😂😅 love you are in The Netherlands though and hope you enjoy my home country. Love some Pannekoek ❤

[@gmmeier321]

Little towns in the UK are so fun to explore.

[@sahpem4425]

That place is adorable!☺️

[@etholleg]

Absolutely loved this video, which was delightful. What a day!

[@andyinmichigan9058]

Chris, not only are you a fun tour guide, but Miles is going to appreciate all this one day when he's older and think about all the cool places you guys took him to. We did a lot of midwest little vacations when i was a kid and I think it was cool seeing all that stuff growing up.

[@paperpien5046]

Wow I love watching your adventures in our beautiful Netherlands..... It makes me appreciate our cultural history all over again!!! But now I know why I love Efteling, and never been to Walibi haha. When you ever want to visit Holland and more of those old towns, I would be more than happy to give some tips or a tour!!! I love your positivity btw ❤❤

[@tedwatson1676]

So funny you are there. We were nearby in Middelburg for a wedding. We appreciate the challenge to get taxis and transport. Bikes are the king around there haha!

[@paperpien5046]

Kibbeling is deepfried peaces of codfish actually 😊

[@lindadeutsch5961]

Omg Chris!! This is going to be a great trip..again!!!!

[@maryburton3315]

Beautiful town and church

[@cassievankuijen1071]

Awesome video, the kibbeling is codfish in a batter and then fried.😋 Hi from The Netherlands ❤

[@jeffvermeer9165]

Love your videos and so so awesome how positive you and your family are! Hope you have a wonderful time in the Netherlands!

[@hermitfrodo7730]

Fun little adventure

Hi Provost Fam. Amanda, you are an Amazingly Awesome Person who can Brighten any Room with your ❤ and Personality. Chris, with Breakfast, the one container looked like Banana Syrup (???). Thank you for bringing us along on the Euro-Park Pass Trip with the Provost Fam. Remember Chris, Amanda and Miles, you are Awesome and keep having Fun wherever Life takes you. 👋🏻🇨🇦

[@provostparkpass]

Thank you so much!!

[@k.a.school2096]

What a blessing in disguise. Such a precious little village. I’m quite jealous and definitely have added this place to my travel wishlist.

[@zikikki1]

Would have been epic if the game room had Tron.

[@kevinleaverton3502]

That was a beautiful church!

[@susanwhite5825]

This was fun! Thanks! Cant wait for more.

[@Adam-gm6of]

So when I went to Tokyo and gone to Mount Fuji I went to this cherry pagoda and it had I think 197 steps so I feel you, but mine were not as winding as yours. Beautiful little town, sometimes its nice to get lost like that in a new place, you never know what you will find. Hope with everything that is closed you still made the most of it.

[@nienke7713]

Amandel is the Dutch word for almond, so it's almond caramel

[@lindamemo5224]

This reminds me of the camping and cottages at Hershey park but more primitive

[@shirleydavis211]

This turned out to be such an awesome and unique adventure. Thank you for taking us with you

[@Ratquel]

That Dutch pancake! I love powdered sugar! We are getting a cafe that will include special needs staff here in my town in SoCal. I hope the food looks this good. What an amazing little town. Love your adventures ❤️

"We don't know where we're going, but we're doing it." - Chris Provost 🎉🤣

[@wingsovermikey]

I sometimes watch travel videos on KZbin, and I found yours to be particularly outstanding. I'm not sure if the sequence of events was coincidental or part of a deliberate story, but if it was intentional, it was brilliant. It starts with a hook that grabs my attention, revealed by the title. Then, it gradually moves into survival tasks. At one point, I even thought you had been moved into an IKEA experimental town with operating hours, and wouldn't get to eat until the store cafe opened for business. The secondary crisis begins with being trapped in a storybook setting, where the analysts determine if you can find a way to obtain sustenance without having suitable currency, leading to bartering of services for entertainment. I know I'm just recreating what you presented, but it really stuck in my head above anything else I've seen on this platform to date. I truly believe you are onto something here if you created this deliberately, otherwise, you lead a very entertaining life.

[@BillLund]

We always arrive in Europe with at least €100 on us and then use bank ATMs (only BANK ATMs) to withdraw the money we need. Europe doesn't use credit cards as much as we do in the US.

[@kathryncargill3015]

[@lindamemo5224]

You know sometimes just going with the flow you find the best things and that church and town was fantastic. True real Holland

[@kyunglee9081]

What a gem your family found - such a charming litle village! And I'm SO glad this trip is with the family because whatever happens will be a memorable adventure. Thank you, Provost family for sharing your incredible day with us! p.s. Did you shake the chocolate water/mulk before drinking it? If you didn't, maybe that's why it was so watery?

[@lamartya.4042]

Amanda, sweetheart,... you are so special worrying about lack of makeup. You are so pretty as God has made you. I have always loved how feminine you always are even at the amusement parks, wearing skirts and lovely clothes. It is nice that you want to look your best, but you look good with or without your makeup. Something for you to think about. How many times have we seen you swimming in pools, lakes, and the ocean? And we have seen your lovely smile n face without makeup. I am more concerned about your Doctor visit than your missing makeup. Please just keep smiling, and making Chris happy. As always, God bless you, and Chris n Miles, Uncle Martin

[@co-hostamanda3240]

You are the sweetest THANK YOU!!😊

[@chitchatpaddiwack5638]

It’s so humbling to think about the men who built that tower. Great video. But there’s no Vons. Where do they buy their food?
