Before we started this trip we thought we could save some cash by sleeping in the rental car whenever we could. Well, that ended up being a little too often. The space available for two grown men is limited. Lucky, or unlucky, the space was just about exactly 5'10" long. Among other issues, heat. We were in the middle of a heat wave so, by 8AM it would get a bit too hot. We tried to keep the bugs to a minimum at night by only cracking the windows, MISTAKE! In hindsight, a tent would have been a good idea and every other night in a hotel. Shower-in-a-can only works for a day or two. At one point we had to restock our underwear supply at the local Carrefore supermarche. Th Citroen Picasso was a cool car. Our only had 5000 kilometers. Some neat features apart from the GPS: auto headlights, wipers and AC; the headlights turned to face into corners; the front window extended above our heads with shades for a bright day; widow shades for all the back windows; seating for 7. If they were available here I would buy one.
