They were only half way to India, but they already lost their boat and almost everything they had. All they had in hands were small amount of cash and a map. They had to come up with a new plan to finish their journey. After discussion, they decided to just walk as they did in the very beginning of the journey, but there was another problem. They started their journey in the summer, and they were all in summer clothes. But, the winter was just around the corner, and they needed something to wear.
