An Argentine family recently finished the trip of a lifetime: they covered five continents in a 1928 jalopy on an adventure that began in 2000, while bringing into the world and raising four kids who are now adolescents.

The Zapp family – Herman and Candelaria and those children – have driven a total of 362,000km and arrived on March 20 back where they started on Jan 25, 2000 at the Obelisk, a monument in downtown Buenos Aires.
