 BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) - He scared off wolves with firecrackers in Mongolia and rescued his dog from hungry miners in Kazakhstan. But after three years on horseback, Tim Cope has retraced the route of Genghis Khan and other Asian nomads who crossed into Europe over the centuries.
The 28-year-old Australian arrived in Hungary on Saturday, ending a 6,200-mile trek through Mongolia, Kazakhstan, southern Russia and Ukraine.
"I'm very happy to be here," Cope said in the Hungarian town of Opusztaszer, surrounded by his traveling companions — his dog and three horses. "Sometimes I didn't think I would ever arrive."
