Possible agenda:
Arrive in Barcelona in evening of 6/21
Find spot in Colonia Guell?
Receive camel meat clue
Bunched at restaurant for hours of operation
ROADBLOCK: Eat camel meat at 10am 6/22
DETOUR: Tomatoes or Maze
Find Maremagnum
Complete course in giant costumes
Pit stop?


Wouldn't it make more sense to do a camel eating task in Morocco?  The Barbies appear to have diffent colored tops during the camel clue/task.  And the kid standing near them appears to me North African.  Buildings don't remind me of Barcelona.  Maybe they have to eat camel before they fly to Spain.   :angel:

From the Morocco thread:
I can get them out of OZZ on 6/21 at 0600 to CDG arr 12pm via Casablanca--and that is the only flight of the day!
WHAT DO THEY DO BETWEEN 12PM and the 6:50 PM flight because they can get to Barcelona much sooner!!
This is a puzzle for me--it would be the perfect time for the Eiffel Tower task except the spoiler dates don't fit...I'm thinking they have to do something else on the morning of the 21st (like drive to Marrakech or Casablanca--leaving in the dark-- to catch the flight to CDG from there...there is an Air France flight Casablanca to CDG which dep12:45 and arr 4:50pm but if you don't make that one you wouldn't arrive till 8:45PM, 9PM, or 10PM --thereby missing the flight to Barcelona...maybe another place for a BQ screw up??

Wonder if the eating camel meat is still in Morocco--maybe Casablanca??

They really have to do something else the morning of the 21st to explain why based on flight times they aren't in Barcelona much sooner.

Plus eating camel meat seems more Moroccan than Spanish...???

Leave OZZ 0600 arr Casablanca 0650

Eat camel meat in Casablanca

dep Casablanca 12:45 arr CDG 4:50PM

connect to  flight to Barcelona arr 8:45PM


edited to say--great minds...boingo!!

That sounds like a good possibility, Boingo -- I've found some camel eating references in Morocco, but not Spain...

From this blog:
Anywho, im in morocco ive gotten ripped off twice. I bought myself a jilaba (spelling?) for my birthday, whic is like the traditional winter wear. Tonight some cats at my hostel who i hungout with today are going to eat camel meat, im pretty grossed out by that.

Plus, here are the outfits for T/J at the Moroccan pitstop and at the camel eating roadblock -- notice the same grey shirt...

Supsandalee: the Parc Del Laberint .kmz file does not seem correct.  Might want to check that and repost so we can all find the exact spot on Google Earth.   ;)

eta: I think you just reposted my Colonia Guell .kmz file.   :lol:

I've been trying to track down this spot in Casablanca to no avail -- it should be the first destination on this leg. I was hoping to find the bench in between D/K...

OH good job finding the Roadblock in Morocco! and the Parc del Laberint!!
So really the roadblock is pointless? looks like all the teams bunch up in Bacelona anyway?  :snicker:

James /Tyler title/Giants
James/Tyler & the BQ's detour task Giants
The screamers & Bama's detour tomato's
Maze is something all teams have to do..I see more than 2 teams.

I thought it looked like there were more people at the maze too, Puddin -- but those other people looked more like production to me?

Don't forget this is most likely Morocco Markets so might give us a better chance to find out where the RB is

Whatever the task is at Colonia Guell is also a possibility for the detour.

The itinerary mentions an "art picture car" and "helpers to unload" -- I'm picturing a lot of artwork, like stacks of pictures/paintings? Like a search the paintings or search the tomatoes kind of thing? Dunno.  ???

It's not the exact place, but here is a typical Camel Meat Market in Casablanca.   :snicker:

I still think the maze is the hours of operation since the museum opens at 10 a.m. and the spoiler says the race begins at 10 a.m.

puddin--I really wanted them to go the Marrakech souks too--but flight wise it is more difficult...

They would have to go OZZ--Casablanca--Marrakech in the morning

Then Marrakech--Barcelona--the best connections are via Madrid and Lisbon not via CDG, so wouldn't explain how/why they go via Paris..

But the diirect Casablanca--Paris flight ties in great...cause  at least some of them have to be on Air France flight #2148 depCDG 6:50PM arr Barcelona 8:45PM on Wed June 21

Especially with two flights in one leg, there's always the possibility that teams take charter flights for the flight within Morocco. So it's possible that teams fly to Marrakech or Casablanca on TAR's own timetable.

Sups, that's a good possibility for the park at 10am -- maybe Chateau can help us with shadows. Of course, TAR has been known to make their own hours of operation in the past, regardless of the normal hours of the site.
