'Around the World in 80 Days' Recap: Episode 4
Believe it or not, we've reached the halfway point of our globetrotting adventure, Around the World in 80 Days! Last week's trek across the desert focused on the strength of women and how living an authentic life often comes at a price. Also Passepartout has tired of risking his life for a pampered gentleman and his silly bet. More details are available right here.
As this fourth leg of the journey begins (Day 28th if you’re keeping track), Phileas Fogg and company have left Bombay and are on foot searching for a village called Narupani. Apparently, reports of the completion of certain Indian railway lines was a tad premature. Fogg is sure they’ll be shown a sign to find their way, and low and behold, a young girl appears and leads them right to the village they’ve been seeking.
Our trio enter the friendly and bustling village and are brought before Aouda (Shivaani Ghai) who appears to be a leader in the community. Her daughter Samanaz (Rizelle Januk) is set to marry that evening. Phileas quickly explains they won’t be crashing their party and merely need a guide to take them to Allahabad ASAP. Aouda insists they stay for the celebration and since everyone in town will be attending the wedding, no guides will be available. End of discussion.
