And as our own race across the world continues here’s how to get off to a flier with twin trips.
All of us know that burning curiosity of looking out over to the next field.
Before finding out for ourselves how green it is.
With visitors on our loveholidays odyssey to Rhodes availing of the hop, skip and jump to Marmaris in Turkey.
And sailing into Turkish broadband space in Greek Dodecanese Island Symi.
Just as we found on the Jordan side of the world’s waterway the Red Sea when we entered into Israeli broadband space.
While we looked out over the Jordan river itself at the site of John’s baptism of Jesus to Israel.
Broadening our borders
There are many ways to cross a border, some more hospitable than others.
And we’ve climbed every mountain to walk unopposed through a metal gate from Austria into Germany.
And will walk across the International Bridge from Valenca do Minho in Portugal to Tui in Galicia in north-west Spain on Camino.
With La Raya/A Raia (the border) Europe’s oldest, dating back to 1297.
So now we’ve outlined some of the walkable borders.
We move on to those we can traverse by train and plane.
Now our friends at our local Edinburgh Airport have pointed us in the direction of these top twin trips.
From Berlin to Biarritz
Now Poznan’s charms have naturally long been known to Poles.
But for the rest of us we only came to love the western Polish city at Euro 2012.
With their fans’ backs to the action goal celebration.
Join the Poznan wave yourself by taking a three-hour train journey from Berlin.
While Austria and Hungary are linked by proximity and politics.
And Vienna and Budapest are just two and a half hours apart.
Of course, some countries’ borders are always disputed.
And people on one side share more in common with those across the border than the rest of the country they inhabit.
As is the way of it with the Basque Country, separated by the French and Spanish border.
But, of course, you can enjoy both by train from Biarritz to San Sebastián in just over an hour.
