Costa Calma, Fuerteventura - sunny beach. A holiday distinction for many "tourists" from travel agencies.

Another horror vacui.

Postcard from Świnoujście - Swinemünde - a Baltic seaside town on the Polish west border. The seahorse motif cut out in the postcard is touching.

The horror of Vacui from Vienna, Austria.

And when I was in Vienna once, I saw quite a nice city, nothing to do with what you see on the postcard.

You continue to amaze me, Bradford. It might be asking too much of you to tell me the name of the driver of the blue tuk-tuk in the foreground, what size shoes he takes, and what he had for breakfast that morning? So i won't ask you. Regards, Val

Next postcards form "Berlin-West", produced about 1983/1984.

1963 FORD Country Squire appears to be missing at least one wheel cover.  The blue tuk-tuk (an onomatopoeia describing it's exhaust note) is just about brand, spankin' new from the appearance of its paint job.  Travel was bringing more tourists and growth in general so the Japanese delivery vehicles available beginning around 1960 were quickly pressed into use as hacks/taxis.  They were economical for both the operator and the passengers with just a 250cc 4-stroke engine needed to propel them through city streets.

BRADFORD -- I BET YOU CAN IDENTIFY THE AMERICAN 'WOODY' IN THE FOREGROUND, BUT WHAT CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT THIS TIK-TOK(?) , INFRONT OF THE 500 ROOM DE-LUX NARAI HOTEL IN BANGKOK?
