Links Here we are then, the end of Christmas Links for this year and the surprising reveal of exactly what I was doing with the accompanying videos featuring people walking about random places across the globe at Christmastime. It wasn't random. We were following the itinerary of Phileas Fogg and Michael Palin, but around the world in twenty-four posts. The destinations listed on this page just happened to match the number of days in advent.
I had hoped to post the video of Michael returning to London at the end of the trip, where he's cross with a newspaper vender and isn't allowed back into the Reform Club, but it's not on YouTube and neither is a video of the Reform Club at Christmas. So instead find above the opening of the journey as he explains the effort he's about to undertake which only makes me want to rewatch the thing all the more. Happy Christmas!
