and disliked by people he knew his plans wouldn’t come to anything.
Then someone from the club pointed out that there was a route that
made travelling around the world in 80 days possible everybody in the
club thought that was a foolish idea and where laughing about it except
for Mr. Fogg but everyone in the club thought that Mr. Fogg was going
mad for believing in such a ridiculous idea but that didn’t stop Mr. Fogg
he makes a bold wager with his fellow members that he can travel the
world in 80 days and he bets 20,000 euros on it the people even
decided that he would be president of the Reform club if he was to
achieve this journey.

circumstances because of a certain complication although the landing
was not pretty all Mr.Fogg saw is that he had made it to his destination
but a detective by the name of Fix was trailing them mistaking them for
bank robbers but they couldn’t just stop and get questioned because
they didn’t know how long it might take they kept on avoiding the
detective and kept on their journey and win the wager

the Mongolian steamer in which detective Fix was still on their trail.
