Europe was a very different place then to what it is now in 2020. An 'Iron Curtain' divided East and West, the EU was still a distant dream for the six individual nations of the European Economic Community,

It was against all this that a small group of adventurous young travellers decided that they wanted to experience and get a flavour of a world that was rapidly changing. And the best way to do that was on a road trip.
