Racing a Postcard Home from Holiday…
Think you can outrun a postcard back from holiday?
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.

Thanks for watching along! The next race WE MEAN BUSINESS
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
There's about 200,000 Scottish people doing this challenge from Munich tomorrow. They've been successful at all their other previous attempts

Great idea for a video. Well done guys, you always come up with original content.
What a fantastic idea for a video guys! Thanks
Another great Vlog, you are both so imaginative with your vlogs which are fun, informative and challenging also, both in time and a budget Thank You for sharing
Great video. Something unexpected usually happens on a long train adventure, but thats all part of the fun.
Hi guys, keep up the great content, and have a good day!
Wow, stumbled upon your channel in my recommendations, what a creative video! You have a new subscriber, can't waif for more adventures :)
Best videos ever. Should have so many more subscribers
Great video, the fact that it costs so much compared to flying is another reason why traveling via railway should become cheaper. You guys always cheer me up, well made :)!
I loved this video I’m so excited for the next one 😂 maybe come to Ireland and get the ferry back across
Enjoyed that video, it’s kept me up 17mins longer than I wanted to be up 😂😂😂
Shocked You Guys Get Quite Low Views On Your Videos You Do Well On Your Shorts But You Should Have Atleast 200,000 Views A Video! Your Both Amazing Cant Wait Watch Your Channel Grow Too Where It Should Be 🙂
What a great video. You guys are so good to watch. Thank you. Very inspiring for my own channel.

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.
I'm surprised you had to wait to go from Germany into France. According to the history books you can pretty much march into it anytime you want. 😂
0:50 I have a question. What time did you sent the postcard? On the post box there is a sign that they are taken out at 2 pm (from Monday to Friday).
The sleeper train 😂

That would be fun! We have got the ferry from Malta to Sicily before. A great journey!
I was a bit surprised you went via Paris rather than Brussels which probably would have been quicker.
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).
Top Gear did this years ago. They raced Royal Mail.
3:00 i live in the uk but my mum is polish those dumplings are called pierogi and my favourite filling is potato and cream cheese with onion

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.
Do it from Raratonga
Next start point go to the very bottom of Sicily 🇮🇹
Startpoin Budapest
Poland 👇
Love the content! Have you managed to claim the refund for the train issues in Germany? if you have managed to get a refund, I challenge you to travel as far as you can by flight and then, do the postcard challenge again. ;)
Porto
i think the next starting point should be in china if possible

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