Around the World in 80 Days
Around the World in 80 Days | Michael Palin
6 posts | 4 read | 5 to read
In the autumn of 1988 Michael Palin set out from the Reform Club to circumnavigate the world, following the route taken by the fictional Phileas Fogg 115 years earlier. He had to make the journey in 80 days - accompanied by a BBC film crew - using only forms of transport that would have been available to Fogg.

Former Python Michael Palin turned himself into a seasoned traveller and broadcaster, travelling #AllRoundTheWorld in 80 days (I believe he stole the idea from someone else 😉)

My favourite travel writer. Planning on reading all his travel books in order starting with him recreating the Jules Verne adventure!

Audiowalking with Michael Palin is giving me itchy feet.

Will have to break out the Lonely Planets soon...

Michelle_2187 Any good? I love reading about travel... 7y
jenniferw88 @Michelle_2187 no idea I'm afraid - found it whilst volunteering in Oxfam and thought I'd use it as a prompt to avoid Jules Verne! Other Littens may be able to help! 😂😉 7y
