Details:
I set out from the Government House in Lubijana in the early hours of July 28th 2023. The nighttime departure was planned to maximize travel efficiency, avoiding traffic and utilizing the cooler atmospheric conditions. The temperature of 17 degrees Celsius during the night was acceptable for the attempt.
The route led me through varying terrains, ranging from plains to the mountainous stretches of the Appennines. During the day, temperatures escalated, making the journey more demanding. However, I persevered with determination and overcame the challenges encountered along the way.
One of the most significant moments was the traverse of the Apennines. The winding and steep roads tested me in driving skills and physical endurance. Despite the hurdles, I successfully conquered this section.
Arrival at the Vatican occurred at sunset on the following day, at 7:30 PM. The evocative atmosphere and the emotion of reaching the finish line at such an iconic time of day rendered this moment particularly memorable. The record attempt was a success and captured the attention of the public.
