PHANTASTIC VEHICLES

backmore


Most likely we will soon find out, that "ResidenSea" is not at all a fantastic vehicle. She is, perhaps, rather a modern "Noah's Ark", an exclusive lifeboat and refugee-boat, which for the sake of political correctness pretends to be

a holiday resort. If there are signs of war in the homelands, the affluent golf players can withdraw to their second domicile on the ocean. Political disturbances in the holiday destination?

Take the family somewhere else, no problem. Just change course. Ecological crises? Terrorist attacks? Dangerous diseases? The business center on board offers a complete service.

Should it happen that the conflicts spread: "ResidenSea is presenting an extensive entertainment program".
TV news now report, that there again are pirates in international waters.

In every pirate movie one can see ships being captured. Maybe our luxus liner is armed so she can, from a secure distance, simply shoot down the main mast of the suspected pirate ship.

Then it might turn out, that the ship was not a pirate ship but a ship with real refugees, freezing and starving people from far away countries, who just for once wanted to cast a glance at the medical center, the delicacies,

the hair dresser and the beauty parlour. They just had forgotten their golf clubs back home. Bad luck!
In this booklet we talk about an altogether different kind of travelling.

And in the accompanying object box are 12 vehicles, which also invite to journeys into the Unknown, quite accordingly to the motto: "At home in the entire world".

A "ResidenSea" is, however, not included.
Have a good trip!
