Leider nur f\u00fcr eine Woche, aber immerhin. Dieses Mal wollen wir uns eine &#8211; f\u00fcr uns &#8211; neue Ecke von England ansehen. Also haben wir uns in London Heathrow einen Mietwagen geschnappt und sind losgefahren. Nach ruhiger Fahrt auf den Motorways, damit man sich wieder an den Linksverkehr gew\u00f6hnen kann, sind wir Richtung Lyndhurst abgebogen. Und wir hatten Pferde (auch ein Fohlen) auf der Stra\u00dfe, K\u00fche, die direkt neben dem Asphalt lagen und auch Esel, wie man hier sieht. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are traveling again! Unfortunately only for one week, but better than nothing. This time we want to look at a &#8211; for us &#8211; new corner of England. So we grabbed a rental car at London Heathrow and off we went. After a quiet ride on the motorways, to get used to the left hand traffice once again, we got off in the direction of Lyndhurst. And we had horses on the road (including a foal), cows lying right next to the tarmac and also donkeys as you can see here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"718\" src=\"http:\/\/cirsche.com\/Travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/01_trial-1024x718.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4316\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cirsche.com\/Travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/01_trial.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cirsche.com\/Travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/01_trial-300x210.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cirsche.com\/Travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/01_trial-768x539.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Das wird unser erstes gro\u00dfes Ziel sein in dieser Woche Urlaub: die Isle of Wight.
