Our lives are like the journey of a wanderer in the night.<\/strong>
\nEveryone has something in their track that causes them grief.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But unexpectedly, night and darkness disappear before us,
\n<\/strong>and the heavy-hearted find relief from their suffering.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Brave, brave, dear brothers, give up your anxious worries:
\n<\/strong>Tomorrow the sun will rise again in the sky.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Therefore let us go on, do not flinch in despair!
\n<\/strong><\/span>There, in those distant heights, our happiness still awaits.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

Despondent and discouraged, even somehow depressed, we are now at home with our MAN. Our mood can be roughly compared to the song above. It is the Beresina song that the Swiss sang during the retreat of Napoleon’s lost war against Russia. But that’s how we feel.<\/p>\n

The actual plan was to ship from Europe to South America next. However, we do not currently have the strength to do this and the shipping of passenger vehicles is problematic anyway due to a lack of capacity and the increased risk of burglary and theft on ships.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We have our MAN overhauled in specialist workshops. Replacement of the clutch, new turbocharger, new air pressure valve, and, and … We are also going to a Bosch specialist to overhaul the injection pump and improve the power curve in the range between 0 and 1600 rpm. We are replacing the 5-year-old, worn-out mattresses with thicker and harder ones, making changes to our electrics and much more.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
