A Swedish pizza deliveryman has broken the record for the longest solo Vespa journey across Europe.

Tommy Kallstrom, from Stockholm, arrived in Athens last week, after a four-month trip. Tommy visited fifteen countries on the way, including the principalities of Monaco and Liechtenstein. He kept a diary of his trip and, using his laptop computer, posted details and photos of his joiuTiey on his personal website. Tommy almost gave it all up when he had mechanical problems with his Vespa during a storm in the Swiss Alps. Fortunately, he was rescued by a farmer In a tractor who picked him up and took him to the nearest town, where he sorted the problem out. He eventually arrived in Athens on July P'. Just in time to celebrate his 21s' birthday! Tonuny's website has won this year's Web TVavei Site of the Year. 2 On TV later this week, you can see a documentary film of another incredible journey. Italian TV jotunalist Chiara Colucci and her husband, Luca, a wildlife cameraman, spent six months driving across Siberia in a I j n d Rover to make the film. They were looking for the rare Siberian tiger, of which only about 200 still exist in the wild. However, the star of the film is a baby bear cub, called Tlzio, that they came across near the River Amur. Tizio had been injured and the Colucds took him with Ihem so they could look after him. When Tizio got over his injury, he didn't want to leave the Coluccis, and the three became close friends. It's an extraordinarily beautiful film and you will not be able to stop crying when the Coluccis finally say goodbye to Tizio at the end of their journey in Vladivostok. 3 F = Female M = Male F: Hey, have you seen this?
