Trabi Tour

Note: This is being posted 5 years later because Kerri and Matt apparently got lazy at this part of the trip and there is a big gap between Jordan and Christmas with no posts.

We took a tour to drive a Trabant, which was a “car” made in East Germany during the Cold War.

Image

There was a bright pink one.

Image

But the one we got was giraffe print.

Image

It was not very comfortable.

Image

But we kind of fit.

Image

The back seat was worse.

Image

But from there the front seat looks relatively spacious.

Image

Until Matt actually gets into driving position.

Image

Matt had to drive because he at least knows how to shift in a normal car.

Image

This was weirder.

Image

Especially with your knees in the way.

Image

But he figured it out.

Image

We went on a tour around Berlin.

Image

This is the inside of the “car”

Image

And the bottom of the “car”.

Image

Positive note: no one died or was injured during this tour. Matt did have to ocassionally hit the gas in order to prevent the “car” from going into a stall. He also remembers nothing of the actual tour as driving a “car” in an unknown city with knees in the steering column is likely not a good idea.

  1. When we did the Trabi tour we got a bright pink car. It didn’t make it out of the parking lot. We went through 3 “cars” in 1 tour. It was fun though!
