Vocabulary
to continue on... (move on)
Hello,
Is it correct to say: "Jack and Sam spent four days in Paris before they continued on to Hamburg"? I was thinking of using "move on" as a synonym, but I am not sure whether it would sound natural. I am open to suggestions.
Thank you

If driving, ‘drove on’ to Hamburg. ‘Travelled on’ or ‘continued on’ are also both used. Although seemingly redundant, the word ‘on’ is idiomatic when used in talk of travelling.

I have heard people use "continue on" in England. Does it sound odd to you? It might be just them.

Since I'm English by birth, I may have inherited it. I think it has merit, but that's just my ear talking!
