Pioneering Travel Blogs Since 2001 | v4.0
The Burnett family, Duncan (44), Ruth (39), Erin (11) and Ailsa (9), are about to depart on an overland adventure (as far as possible) across Europe to the Near East. Starting in Belfast we plan to travel to a number of capital cities including London, Paris, Budapest, Belgrade, Ankara, Jerusalem and Amman. We hope to travel at least 3,000 miles by rail, taking us from Northern Ireland to the Turkish/Armenian border region. We look forward to visiting the sites associated with the ministry of Jesus in Israel. I have also promised the children to look out for a theme park to supplement our normal holiday diet of castles, churches and museums!
