OUR JOURNEY TO GERMANY FROM ENGLAND: Travelling in 2020

[@cindygarrison6338]

So kind to share anything from your great trip! Lovely!

[@linsfia]

This was so interesting to see! I have never heard of people being able to travel by train in a car! So exciting! Thank you for filming this!

[@janegendreau484]

Thrilled to see you both, under any circumstances. As always, thank you for sharing this part of your journey with us. Many Blessings to you & your families in Germany.

[@njohnston1224]

So enjoyed your trip to Germany it's s beautiful country, so pleased for you ,that you got to visit your family,, love all your super fun and friendly video, take care,xxxx🐶🌸

[@janegendreau484]

Can't wait to see your hometown, Joerg. 🍦🚊

[@donnarakitzis2719]

Your hometown is quaint 💛

[@birthdaybash4721]

That was great! Oh I miss Germany. I felt a tear. It always strikes me how clean and orderly the streets are. Just beautiful! To me there is a real feeling of comfort when I see images of Germany, I can’t quite explain my kindred feelings but they are feelings that go past my brain and right from the heart.

[@marlajacques6947]

I’m the same, fell in love with it and haven’t stopped going in 20 yrs...wish they’d let me spend more than 3 mos there!

[@sissimoody]

I lived in West Germany for three years ago! The clean streets, the flowers, the cobblestones, and all of it, were so wonderful! I remember seeing chimney sweepers, "honey wagons", etc! We had to heat our bath water using oil for the water heater. Every year in the winter I think of Germany, how it snowed every time I blinked! I just loved living there! We lived in Kitzingen for awhile. I miss the Cordon Bleu I always ordered at resturants.

[@birthdaybash4721]

sissimoody My husband and I have only been there 1 time. Visiting our best friends. Since then they have moved to another country but one of my friends still has a house there. I hope to go back to Germany and see more of it. We were in Hamburg. We were only there for 17 days. I cried when we left. I cried that I was leaving friends but also wanted to never leave. I don’t know why it gripped my heart. There was also something about the culture that rang true to me. Well, there is no perfect place on this earth. It’s just that we are all drawn to certain things, and Germany was very special to me. So I enjoy that Kirsten and her husband are kind to share part of their trip with us. You were so lucky to live there.

[@deborahgoodall698]

Agree completly .i miss germany..beautiful clean country

[@MsMesem]

For some of us it is too orderly and organised! Even nature is delimited and told where it can be and not be. I appreciate a landscape that is more natural and less defined but there are some very pretty areas.

[@Aquila104]

Thank you for sharing all your videos! you are so nice, so positive, so respectful! is always a delight to watch you. enjoy with your family! greetings from Mexico!

[@brittney5903]

That was fabulous. So informative. So picturesque. House designs are great. Kirsten, seeing your primary school must have bought back fond memories? Looking forward to your next video of Germany. Thank you for this Kirsten and Joerg. 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺.

[@andyfreer1343]

[@TheQNSzzz]

What a breath of fresh air - I really sensed the feeling of being in another country and what relief to the soul it is to have a complete change of scenery. Your parents will be so happy to see you, the most important thing. Enjoy and have happy times all together 🍦🌞

Greetings from Florida, USA....absolutely love to watch your videos! Thank you for taking "us" along on your journey. As someone who has not had the opportunity to travel, and certainly can't now due to the pandemic, I so appreciate the fact that you show different parts of England and now your trip home. Please extend best wishes and prayers to your parents on their Golden Anniversary! Thank you for making your videos so personal.

[@shannonphillips3066]

Thank you for taking us along. This was so very interesting. I didn't know there were trains that transported cars like fairies. Very cool!

[@susancheer5981]

That was quite interesting Kirsten. Learned something new as always. I understand being sad about the restaurant cancellation, but on the other hand, you are so very fortunate to be celebrating your parents 'Golden Anniversary'. Enjoy this precious time together with loved ones.

[@KirstenJoerg]

Absolutely, we feel so blessed to have been able to travel and see them.

[@carolyng5133]

This video was not boring at all. I loved the train ride and the traveling by car. It was lovely. It made me feel a part of your adventure! The houses were quite nice and different from England as you said. Thanks and have a great visit. Love from Maine ♥️ 🇩🇪

[@hannahroberts6295]

Oh, this is bringing back so many memories of my travels in Germany. I met some truly hospitable people. Like in Bavaria where my travelling companion and I went to a tavern to have dinner only to be invited to join the next table. And this lovely couple from Frankfurt paid for our meal. They said " what comes around, goes around" ! Have a great time!

[@svenja0672]

It's so surreal to see you walking around in my hometown! I know all the houses and places you've shown and had no idea that you grew up here! Such a nice thing we have in common:) Many Greetings and all the best to you❤

[@KirstenJoerg]

You live in Wiesbach then?

[@svenja0672]

[@suzettebristol3683]

This made my heart smile! I spent so many years in Germany and had both of my children there. It will always be so special to me. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@contrarymary7638]

Thank you so much for spending so much of your precious time in Germany showing us where you lived Kirsten. I was picturing you in the playground of your school playing, then thinking little did you know that you would be showing people all around the world your school playground as an adult, with your husband, and that you would be living in the UK! Loved your village and design of the houses. Its very clean, it puts the UK to shame! It was intresting to see the euro tunnel l have only been on it as a walk on passenger.

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thanks so much and yes that's so so true.

[@contrarymary7638]

@@KirstenJoerg 😊

[@joanns5250]

Showing us how you got from the UK to Germany was VERY interesting. Gosh, all the houses in the village look brand new!

[@KirstenJoerg]

Yes, most of the houses are pretty new, a house is often considered old when it's about 50 years old lol.

[@magnolia5319]

Wow, wow wow!!! What a beautiful and interesting trip! You two are the ambassador of Europe!! Germany always fascinates me!!!!

[@andrealandsburg8882]

I really enjoyed your trip to Germany and look forward to seeing more! I had to laugh though about your travel time, 12 hours to go through three countries...in Canada, that is the length of time it takes to drive from Calgary ,Alberta to Vancouver BC, and there next door...we have a big country! enjoy!

[@KirstenJoerg]

Yes but Belgium is such a tiny country.

[@teresahalliday3680]

Same here in the US. My trips from Chicago to upstate NY are about that same amount of time!!

In the UK taking your car with you on longer journeys by rail started in 1955. With the brand name Motorail. Lasted until 1995. Overnight journey's included sleeper carriages.

[@robinchurch5658]

As someone who loves Germany and England, what’s better than videos of such lovable Germans living in England? So glad you made it safely back to your homeland, and because of the train carrying your car, you won’t have to quarantine when you return to jolly old England. Having many dear friends I visit in the Bremen area and having to cancel my trip this year since I live in the USA, vielen Dank for taking me with you to my dear Deutschland. Although my heart hurts seeing all this German beauty and not be able to experience it myself, I’m crying tears of joy that I can be there with two of my favorite people🤗

[@davidsanderson4442]

Being from Sheffield myself I can relate to this. I’ve only ever driven through Germany before and have never considered visiting properly. This video may just have changed my mind. Great video, thanks guys.

Delightful. Wonderful. AMAZING!! I never knew you could put your car on the train and travel thru the tunnel. A little claustrophobic but very interesting. You planned it all so well. Your salad looked scrumptious. German houses are delightful to look at. They are lovely. Loved the chapel and pond. Your primary school is very nice. Very well kept. This video was pure delight from beginning to end. Joergs ice cream cone looked delicious. Don't worry about commenting on this video, just enjoy your time with your family. Linda from Philadelphia

Very interesting this is the first time I see that a car can get in the train and stay inside in your car while traveling very lovely

[@suebrown3465]

That was so good! I love how you show how the trip there is, the tunnel too. At first I thought you would fly and then I checked the driving distance...long but doable. Driving on the opposite side of the road would be hard for me..especially turning onto another road . We drive on the right side in Canada. Definitely different styles of houses with the tiled roofs. Looking forward to the next video..I was totally enthralled in this one..virtual traveling in Europe! Take care and enjoy yourselves 🇨🇦 ❤️

We do drive on the right hand side in Germany too lol.

The houses are very different than England, but look like strong, solidly built generational family homes. The beauty of nature with the fishing pond and walking trails...so serene.
