Marion and Josef Geisler from Baunatal completed a six-week trip through Canada in a rented motorhome, covering 8,500 km. They flew from Frankfurt to Toronto on May 11, rented a motorhome, and traveled from the east coast to Vancouver. During the trip, they observed bald eagles and black bears, and attended a public viewing of the World Cup match Germany vs. Ivory Coast, declining to buy tickets due to high prices (€850–3,000).
