Weird Butterfly Ceremony

課文：

The pair are now back on the road and aiming for their next goal. They want to cover the circumference of the earth and become the first people to drive a tuk-tuk around the world. They plan to pass that milestone in Northern Chile.

Along their journey they have had to tackle deserts and jungles. They have also survived close encounters with elephants in Uganda and Botswana and an accident in Malaysia.
