Ep.5 Surprise in Montevideo harbour, after shipping our truck from Europe

We start our travel year with our children. Our 4x4 motorhome was on the ship from Hamburg to Montevideo. Now the four-wheel drive truck is in the harbor and we have to get all the papers to get our vehicle.
We already knew that the window was broken during loading. But we were not prepared for completely discharged batteries. So everything takes a little longer in Montevideo until we have our car back.
Background:
We want to travel again with our 3 children in our all-wheel drive motorhome for another year. It's going to South America. We want to drive through South America from Argentina for a year with our 4x4 camper truck. We are happy about everyone who is there.
We travel with our 3 children in a motorhome that we call Womi-Omi: a self-built all-wheel drive truck that was once a fire engine (Magirus Deutz 170D11, similar to Iveco 90-16). We spent a year traveling through Europe, to Tunisia, the Sahara and eastern Türkiye. And we have now planned another long-term trip based on our big dream.
It doesn't matter whether you call it parental leave, sabbatical, time out or parental leave trip - we take the time for our children - on the road in the camper, even for the little things in life.
Of course, we want to discover as much as possible of the countries we travel to and drive on slopes with our off-road motorhome and enjoy nature at very remote parking spaces. Whether we should be called long-term travelers or overlanders? We don't know that either! In any case, we are a family that takes time for smaller and larger detours in life!
Several films were made about this trip, all of which you can watch on UA-cam. And there is even a movie about our year of traveling with children.
And even though our last trip was only 2 years ago, we are setting off again to many great destinations in our four-wheel drive truck.
It's nice to have you there, both in the everyday life of camper life and in our big adventures!
