Plane vs train - race to the Alps

you'll love skiing and boarding in the Alps and surely the fastest way to get there is to fly while ski journalists near English certainly think so but Philips key writer Daniel Hellcat reckons it door-to-door the Train is actually faster and he's challenged Neil to erase the destination the popular French result of Mirabelle in the huge 3 valleys starting from London at the same time Neil will fly to Geneva then take a mini bus transfer while Daniel touches a euro starts Paris and then heads to the Alps on a TGV train the winners the first person sipping champagne in the hot tub of fish and poop Shelly and Mirabelle Danny Boy is letting the Train take the strikes there's no point in me slipping it all the way to the station is there and you can sit in a win he's not ready through the year tunnel you're in France and in France already you ever did relax immeuble I'm not sure whether to completely trust him but he said is pretty much almost in Paris and so he's been ripping through the countryside already but he has got to change trains fantastic this is the taxi rank garden or just arrived get across the guard early on there isn't even a queue not fully checked in yet gonna take this sports equipment all the way over to the complete side of the terminal just to check in those sign-language so a bit more slick well finally we're on the plane brilliant it's nearly three and a half hours since we left home we're still in England I've just seen my bag and my ski get on the plane this is where you become the tortoise my friend and I become the hare airborne at 500 miles per hour we're going to be in France before you know it I think that's and in the fields have to eat from grabbing his luggage his skis of the carousel and looking to get the transfer but here very relaxed with salmon risotto this is all quite valuable down to valuable for families it's just constantly moving towards its destination and now we gonna like this case full of man oh right pull through three banners transfer reckons out probably about two hours and so about half an hour longer ironically than the time we spent in the aircraft there is the train track over there that Daniel will be off I'm not certain but I think it may be there he's due to arrive in mouche which we're about 20 klicks from now and he's meant to get there in about 35 minutes so it's a pretty time how long have you been in that one how long have you been in resort when I arrived honestly well I didn't really want you to ask me that because although I settled in and relaxed it was a bit of a bonfire to get in there before he goes up there here in truth it was 35 minutes and that surprised me you
