Whilst seafood is at the heart of this establishment, Quilon is also heralded for Executive Chef Sriram Aylur's interpretation of ethnic and progressive game, poultry and vegetarian cuisine reflecting a real understanding of the cultural and ethnic diversity of the region accompanied by award-winning wine and beer lists. The Indian train journey is real, although 'Bombay Railway Station', where Passepartout only just manages to board the moving train ahead of an angry mob, is Sreemangal, Sylhet, in what is now Bangladesh. Elizabeth Jane Cochrane ("Nellie Bly" of the Joseph Pulitzer tabloid New York World) completed an 1889 round the world overland trip in seventy-two days; Elizabeth Bisland (of Cosmopolitan magazine) completed a simultaneous, rival trip in the opposite direction in 76½ days. Continue overland down the Red Sea coast at least to Eritrea from where you can get a ferry across the Red Sea to Jeddah—though for this route you would have to convince the Saudi authorities to give you a visa.

The home of globetrotting hero Phileas Fogg ( David Niven) is 17 Belgrave Square, in the heart of posh Belgravia, a central London district of barely distinguishable cream streets and squares. Published in 1872, Around the World in Eighty Days marked a divisive historical moment that is still being played out. They trekked through the ancient Kumano Kodo pilgrimage in the forests of Southern Japan, cycled across 8 islands, bathed in the hot onsens of Yunomine and sipped on sake in the tiny bars of Tokyo’s Golden Gai alleyways. Inspired by Jules Verne's classic account of intrepid traveller and English explorer Phileas Fogg's journey from London, through India, circumnavigating the late Victorian world in 80 days, this exclusive dining experience showcases the diversity of gastronomic influences across four of the Taj's restaurants on Buckingham Gate, less than a mile across St. Another alternative, then, would be travelling down to Djibouti and crossing over to Yemen, one of the world's most dangerous countries.

The novel describes this leg indirectly and without detail, through a laconic quote from Fogg's journal. Fogg tells Abigail about Estella, confessing that he left her to sail to the United States alone after running away from their planned trip around the world at the last minute and regretting it ever since. His only hope of winning the bet is to report back to the Reform Club within 80 days of departure and, at this point, he no longer has any time to spare. Around the World in Eighty Days marks the first in a new series of shows developed by the Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA) that takes a novel, a short story or other written narrative as a point of departure.

Thus, the day he added to his clock throughout his journey would be removed upon crossing this imaginary line. With a bit of ingenuity from the art department, the same boat reappears throughout the movie, as the SS Rangoon from 'Calcutta' to 'Hong Kong', the SS General Grant to 'San Francisco' and finally the ill-fated Henrietta from 'New York' to 'Liverpool'. Departures are less frequent and the entire round-the-world overland journey may need to be structured to accommodate which sea crossings are available on which days; many only run seasonally or infrequently. The docks at ‘Suez’ in Egypt were recreated on a soundstage at the RKO Studios in Hollywood, where we get the first sight of HMS Mongolia which takes Fogg and co to what was Bombay and is now Mumbai. The journey was described in a series of letters published in 1873 as Letter from the Sea and from Foreign Lands, Descriptive of a tour Round the World.Perhaps the most interesting route would be to fly from Delhi to Lhasa and continue on routes given in Overland to Tibet, but that risks altitude sickness since Lhasa is at 3,650 m (12,000 ft), and the Chinese government has complex and varying regulations for travel permits for Tibet. In the United Kingdom the series premiered on BBC One on 26 December 2021, and on Masterpiece for PBS in the United States on 2 January 2022. Although it was originally built in the 13th Century, the chateau looks much more recent, having been substantially reconstructed in the 17th Century for Madame de Maintenon, the second wife of Louis XIV. Going north, you will hardly have any problems getting into Nepal, though crossing into Tibet will require some bureaucracy. In Hong Kong, the group learns Aouda's distant relative, in whose care they had been planning to leave her, has moved to Holland, so they decide to take her with them to Europe.

It was during the Franco-Prussian War (1870–1871) in which Verne was conscripted as a coastguard; he was having financial difficulties (his previous works were not paid royalties); his father had died recently; and he had witnessed a public execution, which had disturbed him.

In 1938, a French/English co-production entitled An Indian Fantasy Story featured the wager at the Reform Club and the rescue of the Indian Princess.Similarly, the train between Chicago and New York City has since been re-routed further north via South Bend, Toledo, Cleveland and Albany, and no longer follows the route taken by Fogg through Fort Wayne, Mansfield, Alliance, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Newark and Jersey City. John Sutherland points out that Fogg and company would have to be "deaf, dumb and blind" not to notice how busy the streets were on an apparent "Sunday", with the Sunday Observance Act 1780 still in effect. However, the ship runs into bad weather and runs out of coal, so Fogg purchases the ship from the captain and burns the wooden parts of the ship as fuel, though it was only enough to get him as far as 51. They are united with Passepartout (who arrived early) in a circus, trying to earn the fare for his homeward journey.
