Ananova:

Two German schoolboys made a 200 mile trip across the country on their own using pedal cars and a train.

The boys from Verl, aged 12 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 20 miles to a train station before getting on a train for Romsoe in Denmark.

But the pair got homesick after 200 miles when they arrived in Hamburg, and turned round and went home.
