Here's a bit more information which may further explain why they were so keen to do this route.

We knew they were trying to complete their "new route on every continent" quest. I guess Boris hadn't spelt it out but he was also working on a book about all this. The final chapter covers their Australia trip and their route “Last Chance for Happy End”. The book was published soon after their return to Croatia.
