On a road of almost three thousand kilometers, they had to cross the territory of Italy, Switzerland, and France.

The journey turned out to be incredible – and fraught with many dangers. In Rome, dad and son had to fight off a pack of stray dogs, in the UK – to tame a wild donkey.

Travelers walked through the mountains and dense forests, sailed along the river in a boat, rode bicycles and a donkey. According to Romeo, riding was so uncomfortable that he would have been better off walking this distance.
