James' journey begins with him exploring the sunny shores of Sicily, a fascinating island where cultures collide under the shadow of Mount Etna. James explores the simple pleasures that have sustained people for generations, such as chopping bits off statues, Canoe Polo, and bagpipes.

All roads lead to Rome, so it was inevitable James would end up in Italy's magnificent capital. However, it's not just Romans and ruins. James is schooled in how best to drive his Panda through the city, boards a virtual reality bus tour that takes him back 2000 years and meets Italy's own Gandalf.
