00:02:34: it's Not as popular at home on Ireland As it used To Be.

00:02:38: We have pockets small communities who would speak Gaelic as their first language, and then English as their second language.

00:02:47: And we will call these communities or areas the Goeltocht.

00:13:33: Dog in my campervan?

00:13:34: Definitely not.

00:13:36: It can become a little bit tight, a bit enclosed and thankfully we've had lots of sunshine here in Bavaria.

00:13:45: And what I would like to say is the German people.

00:13:47: We have been to France, Spain Portugal Croatia Italy Belgium Luxembourg.

00:13:54: This our first holiday In Germany without transiting.

00:13:58: true The German People have been extremely nice and understanding because in Ireland we don't have much German, you know?

00:14:10: We...we don't speak much German.

00:14:12: We don't learn it at school.

00:14:14: It's not up there.

00:14:15: When I was in school that was French You know?

00:14:18: French..German is the pronunciation.

00:14:23: It can be hard for Irish people But the German people are very understanding And will speak English to us.

00:14:31: It's nice.

00:14:32: Accommodating.

00:14:33: Lothar, do you have something?

00:14:35: What annoys me is that we campers are all tolerant to each other

00:14:54: and we go around

00:15:01: friendly with one

00:15:05: another when the neighbour has no respect for

00:15:10: what annoys us but it rarely

00:15:15: comes forward.

00:15:18: Lothar, if you had to use one word for camping what would it be?

00:15:28: That's a philosophy.

00:15:31: A way of life.

00:15:32: It's a slang word, it's a Bavarian slang word.

00:15:35: Just guitar is clumpy!

00:15:38: That was the

00:16:39: Iconic Campers Podcast.
