    Postcard vs. Train travel: The Ultimate European Race! (Gdansk to Manchester)
    We put it to the test in this epic race across Europe! Our adventure starts in Gdansk, Poland, where we send a postcard on a mission to get back to Manchester, England faster than we can travel ourselves.
    Join us on a whirlwind journey as we navigate cozy night trains, explore the bustling streets of Berlin, and zip through the countryside on the high-speed Eurostar.
    It's a race against the clock (and the postal service) filled with stunning landscapes, exciting challenges, and maybe a little friendly competition.
    Will our postcard become the ultimate champion, or will we reclaim our travel bragging rights? Watch to find out who wins in this epic postcard showdown!
    We are Live the Dash & we belive small budgets can stretch many miles.

    What a great idea for a video! I always go for the bottom bunk. Not only is it easier to get up for those all-important shots out of the window, but the centre of gravity is lower, and so you feel the sway of the carriage less compared with the top bunk.

    Loved this concept guys! Maybe next one could start in Gibraltar or perhaps Sicily? 🤷🏻‍♂️
    Some extra ideas for the next one (to save money getting from France to Manchester avoiding the hefty Eurostar expenses) is either getting the train from Paris to Calais then the ferry from Calais to Dover then Southeastern railway to London St Pancras or (as a way to avoid London entirely) getting the ferry from Dieppe to Newhaven then the train to Reading via Gatwick in order to get the CrossCountry service up to Manchester Piccadilly

    That looks like a fun idea for a challenge. Perhaps possible to do a bit quicker but hard to say last minute really.
    Perhaps next time try Denmark or Sweden as it's a very short flight but much longer by land.

    Next time buy an interrail pass.. it will be much cheaper.. especially when you are younger then 27 😉. I love traveling across Europe sqeeuzing as much places/cities as i could on one pass.. Athens or sophia (bulgaria) are great cities to start from or travel..lots of cities to visit a long the way back to England (or the netherland in my case).

    lol how is Berlin Europes most northern capital? Reykjavik, Oslo. Copenhagen, Stockholm. Helsinki, Vilnius, Riga, Tallin, it’s not even close to the most northern 😂.
    Not sure it would if would worked but you could probably have got the train to Basel Switzerland, Basel - Paris and then Paris to London pretty quickly.

      It was expensive - but there may have been some event like a major trade fair or so. Those can drive up hotel prices enormously.
