No Kidding

Schoolboy Duo Was Well Trained

Two German schoolboys made a 300 kilometre trip across the country on their own using pedal cars and a train. The boys from Verl, aged twelve and nine, decided they wanted to go on holiday on their own this summer and chose Denmark as their destination after a similar fun holiday there the year before. They drove the pedal cars 30 kilometres to a train station before getting on a train for Romsoe in Denmark. But the pair got homesick when they arrived in Hamburg, and turned round and went home.

Now THAT'S what I call, "dedicated to the cause!"

Ya' hafta give 'em points, that's for certain---they knew where and how they were going, didn't get lost! And once they'd seen enough, it was time to go home---once again, apparently without some lesser-motivated adult to get in their way...!

They went back home and sat down for dinner as if nothing had happened. They called CNN after dessert (secretly, of course). ;-)
