Children with an Alive & Kicking ball

Clocking up the countries visited

Written on Wednesday, February 10th, 2010 by

5 countries in one day… Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Italy.

Lichtenstein, the world’s 4th smallest country welcomed us with snow drifting down from the heavens. We shot a scene for the film and ooooops, The Ball was in the water… a rescue mission followed. A cold and wet ball was recovered and as we journeyed over the Alps, The Ball was as snug as a bug and enjoying its ride to the San Siro.

    Lichtenstein is one of the smallest countries in the world but one with a wonderful spirit in many things; think of the banks, the people etc.

    I hope the ball had a good swim:) wind, sand, mud, dust and many other unsual weather will have their chance as weel.

    Keep the spirit.

Pass the ball on! All footballs donated via Alive & Kicking's website before the 2010 World Cup went to Special Olympics programmes in sub-Saharan Africa. But you can still donate a ball to a good cause...
