You do not need to go to California for scenic coastal roads or relaxed cruising - not when you have that right on your doorstep in Europe. Instead of chewing gum, eating burgers and drinking Coca-Cola, your traveling companions will experience liquorice, tea and shrimp rolls. Having stood at the bookshelf for a few minutes, we wander slowly to the armchair without look-ing up one single time, completely lost in thought.
In the South of France, in the Maritime Alps. Eventually, fully steeped in great memories, we pull out the Pyrenees issue, California or Scotland. We keep going until we remember the boots standing out in the hallway, still gritty from North Sea sand, the small pile of business cards from Danish restaurants and the shells from the Baltic Sea. And in some cases, perhaps a little, sweet shock. Taking a ferry across the water?
Wanderlust drives us into the mountains; wanderlust drives us around the globe. This wanderlust is stirred up by a curiosity that constantly wants to know what lies behind the next corner or over the horizon. Naturally, this issue of CURVES has also stayed true to its tradition, but the many kilometres have rubbed off on us a little. Something happened to us. For instance, we can now manage to drive for a long time in a straight line. You have to be honest with yourself to be able to drive in a straight line with integrity.
Capable of time travel. Three heartbeats per minute. Sperm whale transformation. When the adrenaline levels sink, the whole balance rises. Hence — no problem with Denmark. Change number two is almost Obelix-esque in nature and therefore not exactly easy to explain. We all fell into a pot together — or rather, into many pots. At some point in South Tyrol we began to enjoy eating, and it has now become something of a passion. Perhaps because good food is also a sort of CURVES — emotional travel through landscapes; getting to know people; hot and cold.
We like it, and we hope you do, too. We were particularly pleased that our four-wheeled companion on this windblown coastal journey was a new Porsche Cayenne. Once a sports car, always a sports car. Thank you, Porsche. And continuing in that vein: Thank you to all the wonderful people who were CURVES for a while, and who will be so again in a moment — when you start from the beginning.
