Look at me etc...

In all seriousness though I know there's a spot that you can set foot in Holland, Belgium and Germany in literally 3 footsteps, hot foot it down through Belgium and into Luxembourg then into France then fly back to the UK? That's got to be easily doable in a day.

Assuming that you can fly or use trains and starting from Dublin going to Belfast by train, then flying to Glasgow, then to Cardiff, then to London, train to Paris, fly to your choice really. You could go south through Portugal and Spain, or through France to Germany and then in a loop through Austria etc. I would say at least ten and probably a lot more depending on route chosen.
 
Are you counting the home nations?
No

I’ve been to that spot in Luxembourg - it’s Belgium and Germany.
I drove from Switzerland via France, Luxembourg, Belgium and Netherlands. On the way back I might pop into Germany to do 7.

You're right but there are two, there's one that includes Holland at a place called "Les Trois Bornes"

Saved 50 quid in tolls . And a nicer route imho
you could do multiple countries at the bar in the York International Hotel, Dubai... truly an international smorgasbord
Ally pally in Abu Dhabi too

Holland doesn’t border Luxembourg. But there is a spot where Germany, Holland and Belgium meet. And now that I think about it the spot I was at was Lux France and Germany

Plus about £15 by filling up in Luxembourg.

Nice service station that straddles the motorway in luxumbourg.. great selection
 
Going to the office in Freiburg via Amsterdam and Basle and exiting Basle/Mulhouse airport on the French side , is 5 in around 6 hours
Lucky you.
I was last in Freiburg, back in 1986.
It's a beautiful medieval city, and well worth a visit, imho.

I'd heard from a friend that it is limited to just African countries though?
I have just been in 6 countries in 24 hours. How many do you reckon it could be possible to do?
Love stuff like that. Can't get near 6 - perhaps UK, Italy, Slovenia, Croatia...would be my best effort. Though as writing I recall a Garuda air flight from Bali to Mumbai to Bahrain to Gatwick..brutal as likely took 24 hours.

My son did four countries once due to fog in Norway. Instead of getting an early morning flight home from Stavanger, he ended up waiting around then going to Amsterdam, then Dublin, then home and he didn't arrive until late evening.
