1.131 km - We are famous!!

We would never have thought that a few stickers on our car could lead to so many reactions: People waving, showing thumbs up, making funny faces in front of our camera attached to the roof of the car, overtaking and then letting us over take them again, etc.  We are famous!! While from inside of the car we feel like normal travelers, we forget about the strange tiny vehicle we are driving until someone passes our car again with a big smile. So we have decided to stimulate it even more and put up a sign on the side of the car saying: “Smile, you are on camera!” 

The smiles and reactions from the people on the road helped us cross all France from South to North as it wasn´t an easy drive…we ran into our first traffic jam, got lost around Lyon to find the route to Strasbourg (the tomtom says left, but the traffic sign says right...which one do we follow!!??), saw a broken car at the side of the road (is this a bad sign?) and even had a bit of rain. But we are optimistic, after the storm comes the rainbow.


So a bit later than expected we arrived to Strasbourg. A beautiful little town with lots of atmosphere and wonderful cosy restaurants. And as a special treat we finished with an unexpected lightshow portrayed on the old cathedral… speechless! We are ready for day 3!
