Fogg and Passepartout’s Journey Across India

The book took us on a very detailed journey through the varying landscapes of India, and I thought it might be quite nice to show visually what Verne was describing in his book, as Fogg and Passepartout made their way across India.

This took a long time and required us to convert the places mentioned in Around the World into modern day places in order to find them on the map and print pictures. ย The journey spanned four pages of our scrap book. ย We were all really pleased with the result though, and it was well worth it to have this visual.

The overall trip across the map:

One response to “Around the World in 80 Days: Week 2 – India Part Two”

  1. Some of those words I knew the definition of long before I knew the CORRECT pronunciation, I have a reader’s vocabulary, I know what the word means, but not how to say it.

    I wish my kids enjoyed constructing books like that more. They love the end results, but truly hate doing it.
