A14 | E17 Zwijndrecht - Kruibeke 16/06/2015 06h39
A bit of a strange 'first holiday photo' of our 2015 holiday and roadtrip to and in France but this is the result of something happened on our way to France just South of Antwerpen on the A14/E17 in between exits 17 (Zwijndrecht) and 16 (Kruibeke). An unfortunate driver must have made a wrong maneuver for whatever reason and ended upside down in the early morning of a sunny 16th of June. This accident resulted in a delay of 17 minutes. At the time we passed they were apparently waiting for the salvor to re-open all lanes for traffic before the morning rush started.
Roadtrip Day 1 16/06/2015
We departed from Amsterdam on 04h45 in the morming to drive to Limoges. A trip of 910 kilometers with several stops on the way. Arrival time in Limoges was 15h45. The route roughly was Amsterdam - Utrecht - Bréda - Antwerpen - Gent - Lille - Paris - Orléans - Vierzon - Châteauroux - Limoges. All autoroutes and most of them péage.
A 14
The A14 (E 17) is a 101 kilometers long highway in Belgium and connects Antwerpen with Gent and the French border with Lille. It crosses the provinces Antwerpen, Oost-Vlaanderen en West-Vlaanderen and is one of the most imported highways in Belgium.
Number of lanes: mostly 2 x 3 (except for the last bit to the French border)
This highway was built between 1958 and 1969 and got initially number E3 before it was renumbered to E17. Section per section it was opened between 1969 and 1972 including the Antwerpen ring.

A1 Autoroute du Nord 16/06/2015 08h15
Our (or my) plan was to take a closer look on the space invader LIL_00 or LIL_06 along the Autoroute du Nord A1 South of Lille.
Because I was so sure this one was located on the overpass of the D39 I directed Stewart to this road near the village of Quiery-la-Motte. Due to the -what I thought- traces of this space invader I thought I was too late. But I clearly had not done my homework because the LIL_00 or LIL_06 was still there when we contiuned to Paris. One overpass further, on the D48 near Izel-lès-Équerchin.
Reason to come back!
Result: NO INVADER AROUND YOU on FlashInvaders. :-(
Stewart was looking really disappointed here, we wanted to use this space invader as a first victory on our way from Amsterdam to Limoges.

Memphis Coffee 16/06/2015 08h44
We passed along this vintage 1950's themed restaurant in Hénin Beaumont and I found this is an upcomming French chain in the casual dining industry. Haven't eaten here, but I'm curious about their food experience, interior and service. From the outside, I love the concept.
