Great minds think alike! :lol:

ROUTE INFO:  "FLY TO THE CITY WHERE IS LOCATED THE ONLY SIGNED WORK IN THE WORLD OF CARAVAGGIO AND GO TO THE PLACE WHERE IS DISPLAYED.”
Teams must now discover that they have to fly almost 995 miles to the capital of the island of Malta, Valletta. After landing, they had to go to the place where is displayed the only one work of Caravaggio signed in the world, the Co-Cathedral of St. John.

DETOUR:  "ON THE GROUND OR IN THE WATER"
Teams must choose now between two activities related to the many ones visited by tourists in Malta. The choices:  "On the ground" or "In the water".
"In the water" requires teams to travel to Blue Grotto, a paradisiac cave on the maltese shore near the town of Qrendi. Once there, they have to take a leap from a cliff at 131 feet high to the Mediterranean sea and swim into the cave to retrieve their next clue
...and for "on the ground" task, dear  :conf:

When was Sicily proven?  :o

A few pages back in the Speculation thread, EvilxElf reported that his brother had seen them at the airport in Palermo. Also that they had done a task near there. Also, Phil tweeted a picture taken on a Sicilian highway.

Good thing too. I was beginning to worry that my information was wrong.  :yess:

ROUTE INFO:  "DRIVE YOURSELVES TO THE NEXT PIT STOP, SIEGE BELL WAR MEMORIAL."
Teams must now drive themselves to the Siege Bell War Memorial. This memorial build to honor the memories of the soldiers who fell protecting the island during the World War II is the Pit Stop of this leg of the race.  The last team to check in there, may be eliminated.

Awesome Detour task for "ItW"!!! :conf: This Detour reminds me of the good ol' pioneer seasons with the contradicting "Land or Water" tasks.

How did you find out the clue, Alenaveda?

Teams also had to go to Qrendi and find the Mqluba, a nearby giant whole with a dense forest inside where they should search for an envelope with the next clue.

Rachel...

THERE WAS A WHOLE LEG IN  MALTA!

But...we do NOT know where they went or what they did. The info on locations  above was just from Alenaveda's game...all good places but no proof for TAR 25.

Looking is good, I did for about 24 hours, lol.

^^ That was referred to Peach talking about her wish for Blue Grotto and the Bell Tower in the leg and how I used both of them in my game.  :)

Alright, thanks Peach. Just got befuddled with the game route and the post afterward. :waves: So excited for a finally new country!

I'll keep on researching.

So with likely only 4 legs left in the race, I believe it's very likely that the next 3 legs will be in Asia with the final leg in the USA.
I don't believe they will visit the Middle East, since Morocco has already been visited. Also, I don't think Australia or Oceania will be visited as they have already visited quite a few English speaking countries and the Caribbean. I have a list of 5 countries below that are very likely to be visited.

India - Always possible for TAR to visit India. Bangalore is a possible destination. Never been visited and TAR could build tasks involving Bangalore's IT industry.
Nepal - Never been visited by TAR. Would be amazing if they visited Nepal, but I think it is the least likely country of the group.
Laos - Never been visited by TAR. Cancelled leg a few years back. Long Overdue.
Philippines - Only been visited once back in TAR5. Long Overdue. Manila & other island destinations. Easy flights back to US.
South Korea - Last time visited was TAR17. Seoul + Suwon possible destinations. Easy flights back to US.

I'd love to see either Nepal or Bhutan, which gets more and more pro-tourism every year.
