Danny: I'm starting to lose my patience.
Oswald: We're not stupid!


At a travel agent, U/J try to negotiate a better arrival time in Maputo ...

Finally Danny/Oswald get their CLUE, in last place.

E/D at travel agent, whose system is down. Or not showing Maputo. Or something, I'm not sure.

Teri/Ian at another agent, trying to change tickets.

Charla/Mirna and the Blondes.

Teri/Ian offer to help Danny/Oswald in exchange for them negotiating in Spanish. CONFIRMED. Morning departure.
Teri/Ian/Danny/Oswald: YYYY!!!!

The other teams, not so lucky.

Finally, Charla/Mirna get a 9:40 am arrival, better than 3:00 pm from the ticket they already had.
U/J, same plane.
Joe/Bill, same plane.

At a store, Joe/Bill spritz themsleves with cologne.

Phil: Traveling via BA, SP and Jo'burg, all teams.
Find marked cars with drivers.
Find the Apopo Training Field for the next clue.


MAPUTO.
Airport language = Portuguese.

Teams' drivers haul them on the road toward the Aputo Training Ground.

Joe/Bill accuse Eric/Danielle of speeding.
Eric tells a joke that I missed.
"Freaks!"
"Our driver wants to pass you guys!"
"Peace!"
"Freaks, weirdos!"

(Too much drama.)


CLUE, Several teams. Who smells a rat?
Joyce: You!
Phil: One person must get up close and personal with a rat. Trained rats save lives by finding leftover land mines. These teams will use their rat to deactivate a race marker. When the crew "deactivates" it, the team gets its next clue.

Wow, this is really something, watching the rats sniffing along these roped paths.
Uchenna: If the rat didn't signal, I just kept moving him along.

Where the rat stops, there is a mine.

Oswald: I'll set you free, and apply makeup to you!
Ian conf: I used to be afraid of rats, but this one was friendly and doing great things. "Tupac! Find me a mine!"

Guidos' rat finds a hole and starts digging. A mine!
CLUE, Guidos, travel by car to Praca de los Trabahadores.
Phil: In Maputo, the next clue.

Oswald/Danny 2nd to find a mine.
Uchenna's rat finds one.
Imitating Cagney, Ian: You dirty rat!
Ian's rat finds one.
Teams head toward Maputo in the late afternoon sun.

Eric's rat is Xena. Oh, good heavens.   

The blondes find something.
Charla's rat, not so much. It's stopped, to clean itself.
E/D leave in 5th.
The blondes leave in 6th.
Charla's rat is still dumbfounded.
Mirna: I wonder what the problem is?
Charla: We might be here a long time.


COMMERCIAL.

APOPO Vapour Detection Technology, Vilaculo

Just outside of Vilanculo you can see one of the most bizarre images in the country - rats in harnesses on leads, searching for mines. The civil war that ravaged Mozambique for 17 years has left a legacy of unexploded landmines. The Belgian research organisation APOPO has been successful in training rats as mine detectors. Contact APOPO if you wish to see their work - minefields are dangerous and not areas where you can just turn up unannounced.

Charla and her rat walk the rope line.

Meanwihle, teams return toward Maputo.
Sign indicates TWO ways to Maputo. Teams are stumped.

Charla's rat digs. They get the clue and head back for Maputo.
Charla: We've been in worse situations before.

The statue!
Guidos, CLUE, DETOUR.
Pamper, or Porter?
Phil: Two ways of making a living.
Pamper, paint people's toenails, which is usually done by men. Must earn $1 usd to get the next clue.
Porter, fill ten 45lb bags with coal, carry one of the bags to a specified address for the next clue.

Mozambique is beautiful! I may get to see it this year. Dunno.

But I digress ...

Teams are stuck in traffic.
Several teams' vehicles are stopped in the same place.
Mirna and Charla speak Spaniguese to try to find their destination.
Mirna: Thank goodness for the gentleman!
Mirna: Come on, Charla!
C/M leapfrog into 3rd.
C/M ask man how far to paint nails.
Man: It's not far.
Charla: Can we give you a manicure for money?
They both paint a local's fingernails.

Joe/Bill start filling bags of charcoal, arguing over which of them fills the best. Now they complain about their sensitive hands!

Charla/Mirna attract quite the crowd.

HIV parade downtown! It's World AIDS day.
So that's why teams were delayed.
Danny/Oswald get very emotional.

U/J decide to fill bags.

Oswald/Danny decide to do bags, but "wish I was painting nails!"
Mirna: Excellente! Look how pretty you became!

Dustin/Kandice decide to paint nails.

Eric argues with his cab driver.
Danielle: I can't drive with people like this!

Charla: Pay me, please!
Man pays.
Charla: Grazie!
Mirna: We have enough! YYYY!
C/M, CLUE: Travel by car to the next pitstop.
Phil: Fortaleza, completed in 1781. The oldest building in Maputo. Last team may be eliminated.

Wait a minute! If they are doing all these tasks on one day--it has to be 12/1 because of the AIDS MArch--Ushuaia MUST have been a long pitstop--hence all the meals in the Insider videos!

If it is 12/1--where are we??
