We take a look back at three minibus holidays undertaken in 1971, 1972 and 1973, to Yugoslavia, Morocco and Greece.
Europe was a very different place then to what it is now in 2020. An 'Iron Curtain' divided East and West, the EU was just a common market of 6 trading nations, Berlin had a wall, and the Cold War was ongoing between Russia and the western world. There was a country that doesn't exist today called Yugoslavia, and Greece was under a military government.
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.​
