Around the World in 80 Days is not entirely a trip around the globe, but is limited to countries where the British Empire exists or has existed (Egypt, India, Singapore and Hong Kong), with the clear exception of France, Italy, Japan and United States.

Throughout the series, Fog and company made stopovers along their journey around the world based on the itinerary written by Ralph in the Dialy Chronocle. It was estimated that the total time of the trip would be 80 days, however, thanks to the gang traveling east, the time was 79 days.

## Stopovers

### London, Great Britain

Starting point of Fog’s journey and location where much of the series' events take place. On Savile Row Street is the home of Willy Fog, being house number 7. Other important locations within London are: The Reforma Club and Scotland Yard.

After Mr. Guiness made mention of the advances in means of transport, enabling faster trips, Willy Fog argues that he is able to make a trip around the globe in 80 days in front of Sullivan and the rest of the Reform Club members. Fog relies on the itinerary written by Ralf in the Daily Chronicle to support his goal, although the other members of the club warn of the possible risks involved in performing a work of such a feat, however, Fog is willing to take the risk. Members agree on a bet in which Fog has to make it around the world in 80 days with £40,000 as collateral.

Sullivan would contract Transfer to ruin Fog’s trip in exchange for a bet cut. Dix and Bully, following the uproar over the news that Fog would be around the world, consider Fog as the prime suspect in the Bank of England robbery. Transfer and Dix & Bully began separate chases behind Willy Fog in an attempt to stop his journey.

Willy Fog, in the company of Rigodon (not yet known of Tico’s presence) leaves London on the night of October 2, 1872. 8:45 pm.

### Calais, France

After navigating the English Channel by boat, they arrived at the french port of Calais. This is their first stopover outside Great Britain.

Fog and company take a train to Paris. Tranfer would pretend be a woman in an attempt to snatch Rigodon's briefcase, but after an altercation (with Tico biting his finger), he would leave the scene, failing in the attempt. Dix and Bully would board the same train trying not to be seen by Fog and his gang.

### Paris, France

The train arrives in Paris with a delay of 5 minutes. Fog and company need to take another train at Lyon Station, but they can't find any taxi available. Rigodon proposes walking, since he lived in Paris. On their way they meet a parisian woman who offers them a ride to Lyon Station.
