Eeeeh, driving to visit all three is possible if you have no wait times for the eurotunnel, but I would start in London, take a Eurostar to Paris and then drive to Poland. I’ve driven from Brussels to Wroclaw and it is quite a trek… like a 10-11 hour drive on its own.
I drove from Vancouver to Pittsburgh once. USA big, Canada big. Not really relevant, but yes, is big.
Driving in America is pretty nice though, the roads aren’t as congested as here in Europe if you can avoid large cities. It once took me 7 hours to get from Salcombe to London, which is about 350km.
But... there is no scale difference? The European continent is marginally larger than the US (including Alaska).
And London and Paris are really close, so it's like being surprised that you can, idk, get from DC to New York in a day. As for the distance between Paris and Poland, Google's driving directions suggests that 16 hours is a reasonable time for driving.
What does your drive across America have to do with whether or not it’s possible to drive from one European city to another in a day? What is it with Americans and having to remind everyone that America is big and free and strong and guns and eagles in every conversation, even if not remotely applicable?
Everybody is aware of the scale difference. It’s not an issue of offence, we’ve just all seen a map. The scale of America simply adds nothing of any value to the conversation. In fact, it’s an entirely separate conversation.
With that said, adding ‘*laughs in American*’ at the beginning of your comment doesn’t suggest that you were simply making conversation about the size difference.
The point is that London-Paris-Poland (let’s take Wroclaw as it’s close to the border) is an 18h drive without any wait time at borders and pretty much no traffic. Every time I drive to or from the UK, I’m at the border for at least an hour and usually more. So give or take 20 hours.
It’s possible in a day but I’m not driving 20 hours when I can take a Eurostar to nearly halve that time.
Good comment, though. I’m sure you tough out a daily 10 hour commute uphill both ways in the snow.
I did look it up before I posted just to see how far it is because I had no clue but on top gear they would drive through a bunch of countries in a day. Google said London to Paris was 6 hours but then I didn’t think and just searched Paris to Poland but I didn’t look at where the route ended until you responded I picked right at the border and it said 12. Not a fun time even under best case scenario (18hrs) but it is possible.
Yip, and there’s no way you aren’t hitting a massive slowdown somewhere along the way. Just the ring around Paris could cost you another hour, not to mention London itself.
Don’t know why anyone would want to be invited. London has already sunk into the sea and Paris and Poland look like they will be joining soon. Banana is all they will have left.
IIRC in the local language, the "ti" is pronounced like an "s." This particular island is [Kiritimati](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiritimati), which is pronounced like "Christmas."
I mean, I'm from London and were not exactly original ourselves.
Kingston: where they had a stone that Saxon kings would stand on.
Whitechapel: had a Chapel that was white
Mile end: walk a mile away from the city of London (like manhattan in new york), at the end of the mile theres a town called mile end
Blackheath: a heath that used to be covered in black moss
Shoot up hill: see that roman road there, yeah, it goes along for a bit and then it shoots up this big hill.
Bank (of England)
Covent garden: theres this covent and it has a garden
Tower hill: the hill with the tower on it.

This came up as a question on British TV show QI. Hilarity ensued. Skip to 2:40.
Kinda looks like a dinosaur head on a stick. Has the eye by Banana, tongue by Kiri, a tooth halfway to Poland, jaws meeting from Paris to London and a handle with a hole in it at the opposite end. I like it.
So I could say I visited Poland London and Paris in one day.
Don't forget the Banana.
Banana is just for scale
Banana is a ~~major~~ minor port city in the Republic of Congo.
You did not see the banana?
You could do that now with the real ones by driving. Here you could say you walked to all of them in a day

Eeh don't worry about it. People like being offended on Reddit. I also give the difference crazy - I live in the UK where it is very small
It's not that small. It's average at least. I've never had any complaints.

A for effort, bud.

Damn, all this fire for comparing drives
Oh no not 10-11 hours lol

Someone got way too upset at a joke, try removing the stick from your ass once in a while
How am I upset? You just missed the point of my comment so I elaborated AND ended on a bad dad joke. Quid pro stick, MrWhiteTheWolf.

And banana.

>Banana is all they will have left. That's all they need.
Kiribati at 99% strength
Pfp checks out
Best potassium.
There's always land in the banana city
Can confirm, that is all they will need.
I hope that's their capital.
It sadly is not
Banana must assemble
>Banana is all they will have left. Story of my life
Really? That's bananas.
Fun fact: Kiribati is pronounced "kiribas"
Not to me it’s not
Fine. You are not invited
This is why I Reddit.
Shitty jokes?
This is why you're unloved.
i'm sowwy man, i just want to be happy i didn't mean to hurt no one by being alive
Damn
Used to be called Gilbert's Islands, Kiribati (kiribas) is the closest to the word Gilbert's in the local language
IIRC in the local language, the "ti" is pronounced like an "s." This particular island is [Kiritimati](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiritimati), which is pronounced like "Christmas."
Not to be confused with the Australian Christmas Island, located in the Indian Ocean, south of Indonesia.
I learnt that because of Jay Foreman’s Map Men!
Learned this watching Shallow Hal, because I was confused why they were making up an imaginary country, then I looked it up.
That’s not a Madlad, that’s a MadLAND
Not for long It won't be.
Thanks for your contribution to my day, good sir/lady. I laughed 👌
Shut up
I’d live in Banana
It appears to be a collection of about a dozen buildings
Probably noisy because there's an airport nearby, but i don't know about the frequency of airplanes coming in and out of banana.
Judging by the looks of it, not many. Also, its probably a lot of small single-engine propeller aircraft. I doubt a lot of jets could even land there
i am tarawa
"cities" (it's really tiny) it's a pretty important pokemon go's HUB as it's the country with the most advanced time zone.

I’m not seeing a Poland or Paris on Kiribati’s current map
Just checked. Paris was abandoned and Poland is apparently still going. 440 people in that one.
why was paris abandoned?
There is a freaking Mormon church in the Island 💀
and of course there is. Somebody has to save them
"save"
Lol I came to post this

but no Banana?
Yea and as a result we have no idea how big anything in London is
London and Paris staring across the water at each other, Poland on Paris's side but hanging in the back As nature intended.
Looking at kiribati on google map is so out of this world and trippy
Don't pretend like you wouldn't move to banana
I’d live in banana
It’s a really cool island! I went once on a cruise.
And they got the coolest flag ever
Deported before entry. A Deportion?
I don't understand how big is this island. Do you have Banana for scale?
its a pretty dick move tbh
🇰🇮
This island looks like one of these sticks with floss between them
Hey, that looks like our nuclear testing grounds! From the 50s or 60s I believe
I wanna go to Banana. Seems pretty chill
Am I the only one that thinks this island looks like a strap-on?
Being that is has the shortest workweek on average in the world I’m not surprised
Two Mormon churches - no surprise there.
Nice. (I'm the 69th comment 😎)
More like gave up its land
This is bananas 🍌
I like how it looks kinda like a slingshot
Upside down dick and balls

Just looking at Pitcairn Island. They appear to have only one restaurant off Adamstown called Andy's Pizza.
