Cheers! Enjoy the Scottish whisky! What is the weather really like in Scotland? A motorhome trip with the MoWuKnuffels to our English-speaking Neighbors The German title of this travel diary is Sechzig mit links. Mit links is German for „easy, simply or without problems“. As there is no equivalent in English, the title has been freely adapted from another Scottish specialty. Cheers! The author has just celebrated her sixtieth birthday. Does one make this step into a new phase of life so easily? Is it perhaps the left hand English way of driving that is meant? Or does the number 60 refer to the British speed limit in miles? You can find out if you follow in the footsteps of the MoWuKnuffels, who set their sights on their English speaking neighbors on this journey. In her usual amusing and critical manner, the author again describes personal impressions of the country and its people in her latest diary.

Die Autorin hat gerade ihren runden Geburtstag gefeiert. Schafft man diesen Schritt so einfach in einen neuen Lebensabschnitt? Ist vielleicht mit dem Titel des Buches gar die englische Fahrweise gemeint? Oder bezieht sich die Zahlenangabe auf die britische Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzung in Meilen? Das lässt sich herausfinden, wenn man sich auf die Spuren der MoWuKnuffels begibt, welche auf dieser Reise ihre englischsprachigen Nachbarn ins Visier nehmen. In gewohnter amüsanter und kritischer Weise schildert die Autorin auch hier in ihrem neuesten Tagebuch persönliche Eindrücke von Land und Leuten. Der Reisebericht dient in erster Linie der Unterhaltung, dem Erleben unserer kontinentalen Nachbarn in einer Zeit noch vor dem Brexit und erhebt keinen Anspruch auf Ausführlichkeit in Bezug auf einen offiziellen Reiseführer. Vielmehr stehen die Erlebnisse einer weiblichen 60+ als Einzelreisende im Wohnmobil, begleitet von den beiden Hunden Wuschel und Knuffi im Vordergrund.

Carpe Diem If you want to explore Newfoundland and the maritime provinces of Canada, please bear in mind that you have to slip into a warming anorak even in summer. Every rain free day is a gift at the edge of the Labrador Current. Rubber boots and good rain wear are also essential. You can admire icebergs from Greenland on the island in the north as late as June to July, and the small harbours are often decorated with ice floes until well into the summer. But when the sun breaks through, this region of Canada opens up in all its diversity and drama. In the north, a former Viking settlement bears witness to the earliest community, even before the Europeans discovered America and later established themselves there. Small, picturesque fishing villages tell of a hard struggle for existence. In the past as well as today. Lonely stretches of land give flora and fauna the opportunity to face the harsh weather. The capital, St. Johns, impresses with colourful wooden houses and a lively pub culture. The oddball humour of the population is unique, and they all love their musical heritage. Carpe diem! Seize the day!

MoWuKnuffels? Das ist die liebevoll zusammengefasste Crew eines Wohnmobils. Sie besteht aus zwei anhänglichen weiblichen Hunden und einem Frauchen im Ruhestand. Diese drei Mädels haben sich aufs gemeinsame Reisen verlegt und so manches Land in Europa und Nordamerika individuell bereist. Diesen Winter war Portugal an der Reihe. Als Frau alleine? Im Wohnmobil? Mit zwei vitalen Hunden? Manchmal hunderte von Kilometern auf sich allein gestellt? Das ist durchaus möglich und macht Spaß! Nur Mut! Der erste Schritt ist der schwierigste! In ihrem Tagebuch schildert die Autorin kontinuierlich und umfassend ihre täglichen Erlebnisse und macht sich dabei ihre Gedanken über das Gastland. Wohnmobilfreunde mit Hang zum Abenteuer werden in diesem Buch ebenso angesprochen wie Hundeliebhaber oder selbstständige Frauen.

Wer den MoWuKnuffels während der langen Reise auf den Highways und Gravel Roads gefolgt ist, der ist vielleicht daran interessiert, wie sich ihre Weiterreise entwickelt hat. Schließlich war die Tour auf dem Kontinent noch nicht beendet und der Heimatort in Oberbayern ungewöhnlich weit von Alaska entfernt. Nachdem es von der Eastside to the Westside ging, war nun die Richtung from the North to the South gefragt, wie es in einem bekannten Schlager so treffend heißt! Oder anders ausgedrü vom Polarkreis ins Tropische, vom Arctic Circle zum Wendekreis des Krebses, von Alaska nach Mexiko, von der Kälte in die Wärme, und wieder zurück nach Europa. Über den Daumen gepeilt waren dies vierzehntausend Kilometer. Da konnte viel passieren. Einige grandiose Highlights lagen auf dem Vancouver, die Stadt mit der angeblich höchsten Lebensqualität, San Francisco mit seiner Brücke, die Baja California mit ihren Kakteenwüsten und dem glasklaren Meer, Stateparks mitten in Wüstengebieten, der Golf von Mexiko, die Mündung von Old Man River, Alligatoren und Sümpfe in Louisiana, der reiche Staat Florida. Packen wir es an!

MoWuKnuffels? After the painful death of my well travelled dog Wuschel, a new member joined our small family. We fostered Wurschtel from an animal shelter and he explored a part of the wide world for the first time on this journey. This made him so enthusiastic that he wanted to tell all his friends at home about his experiences. He shifted to writing letters. But if the events exceeded his horizon of experience, his mistress Monika intervened helpfully with additions. The ten year old dog Knuffi endured with calmness the many ups and downs of a long motorhome journey. After all, she had already accompanied her owner to Canada, Mexico and the USA. So, she was not easily impressed. In his diary, Wurschtel describes his daily experiences continuously and comprehensively, and with his own sense of humor he reflects on the host country and the people he met.

La cucaracha (the cockroach) is a Mexican revolutionary song, the chorus of which probably alludes to General Victoriano Huerta, who was called la cucaracha because of his consumption of alcohol and drugs and who allegedly could not get going without marihuana. The historical background of this popular song, which is now known throughout the world, prompted the author to give this title to her travelogue about Central Mexico and the Yucatán. All the major colonial cities of the Central Highlands did indeed play a decisive role during the Mexican revolutionary wars of the 19th century.
