Goes from the "Lucy."

Alaskan land under fire, due to snow and ice, deserts and jungles: The Munich Boyny Michael and his wife have two years time taken in order to explore America. He has brought great photos, and the realization that travelers are funny people.
  It is building nicely and rugged, cold morning only to come a little difficult in the corridors: "Lucy" - a U.S. Ford F250, built in 1985, with permanently mounted residential cabin. "It was a little bit as we would have to display a contact responds," remembers Michael Boyny of the pick-up formation on the Internet. Boyny and his wife, Sabine equipping the "old lady" on. In the summer of 2005 started two outs in her home city of Munich the eight cylinders of the motorhome - and went from the "Lucy"!

Two years were the two with their Ford on the road. Their trip took them through 15 countries criss-crossed the American continent - from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego. His experiences gave the photographer Boyny in images of the country and its people and diary notes - and summarized them in his book "time-out in twos" together in the Bucher Verlag is. Small cards at the beginning stages of the journey chapter show the route, with quotes from Robert Frost, Henry David Thoreau on Octavio Paz, to be introduced to the readers.
With "Lucy" the couple crossed the hottest, driest and lowest spots in North America - the Death Valley. With her drive in the canyon country of over 3000 meters high passes to Arches National Park. And it is about the "most dangerous road in the world" down into the Yungas, the tropical hot-Andean valleys, the Bolivian lowlands. From day to day is the "here-I-can-live-list" of the two Munich longer.
The drop-out note that in Alaska in the U.S. service-friendliness "in the polar cold shock solidifies" seems to be. Königsberger Klopse that taste better than Ecuadorian cuy, grilled guinea pig house. And that a sacred bird called the quetzal with up to a meter long tail feathers in the thicket of tropical hard to find.

Thus, an encounter with European holidaymakers, somewhere in Panama, on the realization Boyny: "Passengers are funny people: They give their cars names and account Khakihemden!"
His stories go, but little about the diary form also. Temperatures are accurate, mileage, expenses and activities enumerated a la "we stroll, making a walk, eat and go to sleep early" and the people as "poor, but proud, friendly and cheerful described.
But the photos make it competitive. With his landscape photographs, detailed photos and portraits Boyny evokes the wanderlust. And who is this really the wanderlust expires, is also meticulously recorded the experience with grumpy officials, blackmail and thieves, with Quetzal, Grizzlys and Blaufußtölpeln, sometimes with the aufmuckenden "Lucy" and overwhelming hospitality for the implementation of specific plans to appreciate.
