Moving day

On Thursday morning 4 guys from the moving company showed up with boxes and packing material to start packing up our belongings. Our only tasks were to make coffee and to tell them what not to pack. Anything that didn't have a label 'do not move' was packed up. Within a few hours, our house was full of moving boxes.

On Friday morning, 5 movers showed up and packed the remaining pieces of furniture. We were a bit surprised at the size of the container that showed up early afternoon, but in the end it was only half full. The movers managed to load the 170 boxes in about an hour and after the container was sealed, it was taken to Rotterdam.

It was a weird feeling to be in our empty house after the boxes were removed.

The container left Rotterdam on the vessel 'Maersk Pembroke' this morning and is scheduled to arrive in Vancouver on December 12th. If all goes well with customs, we will have our stuff before Christmas.

Now, all I have to move is myself!
