Some favourites:
-the tour of the factory in 1996 and viewing the following year of the so called 'new concept' beetle. Glad to see VW took an interest in them and their trip.
-it was great that on the second go around, t hey were able to see some previously inaccessible places, such as Prague. Interesting to see their description and surprise - quite similar to my own- that all the neighbourhoods didn't look the same.
-I liked the stories of those they met on both trips and whether they'd kept in touch. I know those feelings from my own trips. Also liked the email interludes from people following their stories from home, and how they were able to use them as go-betweens.
Reading this here with Helen and thinking about places I want to visit. I'd love to do the overland trip.
The couple was also featured on Australian Story although there isn't much information on where they (and the beetle!) are now. ( )
