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? 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.

The Trans-Canada Highway is the only federal highway in Canada that, with a few junctions, forms a link system through ten provinces of the country. Covering more than seven thousand kilometers, the TCH is the only continuous transcontinental road of Canada and the third long-est road of the world. The Trans-Siberian Road in Russia and Highway 1 in Australia are longer. The Yellowhead Highway forms the northern branch of the TCH in the western provinces. Although the Trans-Canada Highway was opened in 1962, it was completed in 1970 and is mostly four-lane and crossing-free.
