Most likely, Joseph walked and Mary rode on the back of a beast of burden, (like a donkey or a mule) because they were poor (only the rich people could afford a horse), and she was very pregnant. They couldn't afford a wagon, either, so people walked everywhere they went.

What did Mary and Joseph have to do to obey the order for a census?

Luke's Gospel says that Mary and Joseph had to travel from Nazareth in Galilee to Bethlehem in Judea, and be counted there for the census. However, scholars say that not only was the census at the wrong time for the nativity story in Luke's Gospel, there would never have been a requirement for Mary and Joseph to travel from Galilee where they would be taxed, to Judea where any census record would have no value in ensuring the collection of taxes. They say that the journey from Nazareth to Bethlehem simply did not happen.
