Across Europe in 1999 - no smart phone, no action cam

Hollowaytyre · 08-29-2020, 05:57 AM

In 1999, before smart phones and action cams, my friend and I went cycle touring across Eastern Europe with a Sony DV Handycam. The result is this film that documents our trip from England via Norway to Istanbul in Turkey. We travelled through 15 countries with a tent on the back of our bikes.
