Pula, near the seaside town of Santa Maria. 06 kilometers away, they set off on a foot march, lasting another ten kilometers during which they rested in Cefalù [?]. Tired from walking, the two boys found a moped of the "Ciao Piaggio" type, hoping to use it to get to Lecce more quickly. But the scooter did not dashed their hopes and so they continued to make their way, holding tight, through the roads where workers at that hour were beginning to work, not far away, to buy fuel. After a refueling, they resumed the journey along the village road. Caught, after just two kilometers, by a patrol of carabinieri, to whom the two young Albanians said they were Italian, although they knew only a few words of the language. As soon as they were discovered, they decided to surrender and told the whole painful story of the journey. A few hours later, when the carabinieri escorted them to the ferry bound for Vlora, Deti and Arturi shouted: "Now, why didn't you tell us?" Perhaps, for all the courage they showed, they truly deserved to stay.
