'Around the World in 80 Days' Recap: Episode 2
Welcome back to leg two of our journey Around the World in 80 Days! Last week you may recall that one Phileas Fogg has accepted a rather large bet to circumnavigate the globe in a mere 80 days. Joined by a determined female journalist and a well-traveled, but mysterious valet, this trio got a bumpy start when they stumbled upon a spot of civil unrest in Paris. All the pertinent details can be found here.
On Day 3 of this undertaking, our trio has crash-landed their magnificent balloon somewhere near Pisa, Italy. Mr. Fogg assures his companions a train will be coming along any minute and that confidence pays off when, lo and behold, they flag down the 3:00 to Brindisi.
Fogg and Miss Fix are shown to swanky first-class compartments. (It appears they booked them in advance?) The train’s conductor introduces them to the other wealthy passengers with whom they will be dining.
