Sept-Oct  1990 

Communist Bloc

In 1990, we rented a Westfalia from Braitman & Woudenberg in Amsterdam.

Our intention was to travel to the Communist nations before the then-apparent fall of Communism.

Not sure of hotel availability, we chose to rent a camper as a backup.

This opened our eyes to the flexibility of this form of travel, and launched our fascination with traveling via camping-car.
