Having made the decision to travel by car, we just had to decide which car. Of course, our budget did have a lot to do with it. But ultimately we chose to go with the 2CV Charleston because it just looked like so much fun. And we weren't disappointed. This is a car with a personality. This is the car the French call the 'deux cheveux' which means two horses. The Germans call it the 'ente' which means the 'duck'! I think I prefer the french nick-name.

It was a brave little car. We drove over 10,000km in four months from Paris north through Germany, across to Belgium, back through Germany, north to Denmark and Sweden. We reached Stockholm in November to learn that the people we were intending to visit lived a further 400km north in a place called Sundsvall. On seeing what we were travelling in, the friends of the family we stayed with suggested it might be time we turn south! After leaving Sweden, our little car returned us back through Denmark and Germany into Austria, Italy and Yugoslavia (as it was still known). At a place called Senj, a small coastal town, the winds were so strong we thought we would be blown off the road.
