About This Item

Around the World in 80 Caches!

Brother to "Pink Skye" race coin.

Although a journey by hot air balloon has become one of the images most strongly associated with the story, this iconic symbol was never deployed in the book by Verne himself."

However the popular 1956 movie adaptation Around the World in Eighty Days floated the balloon idea, and it has now become a part of the mythology of the story, even appearing on book covers. This plot element is reminiscent of Verne's earlier "Five Weeks in a Balloon" which first made him a well-known author.


Highlight - Blue Skye travelled in a hot air balloon!!
News - ** Biggles303 wins competition coin for moving Blue Skye - congrats & thanks **
