Description
Complete with visas, running shoes, and an inflatable globe, Michael Palin set out with an ambitious plan: to circumnavigate the world, following the route taken by Jules Verne's fictional hero Phileas Fogg 115 years earlier. The rules were simple: He had to make the journey in eighty days using only forms of transport that would have been available to Fogg. Crossing seventeen borders and meeting innumerable challenges, he saw Venice from the back of a garbage barge, rode around the Pyramids on a camel named Michael, and was attacked by a cockatoo in Hong Kong. This is his fascinating and humorous account of an outrageous journey and a world full of surprises.
