Just trying to pull Florence together...
Flights arrive from Dubrovnik 1220 onwards, teams not seen in the Dubrovnik airport around 6AM on the 20th suggesting a funky Dubrovnik pitstop time with a later departure and possible late afternoon arrivals into Florence.
From intro vidcaps we have the Duomo and the coffeehouse in the Boboli Gardens.
We have a tattooing FF in Empoli.
We have what looks like a
Roadblock (but cannot yet rule out that this could be a Detour) Definite Detour--Flag tossing in Vinci, and thanks to Chateau we know that Kynt is there noonish on the 21st.
We have teams self driving in the Italian countryside.
Thanks to apskip's work in Timelines we have early morning flights to Mumbai on the 22nd.
Now for spec:Since we may have an afternoon arrival, we are going to need an Hours of OP to explain some bunching and why teams are not seen doing tasks till noon when they cannot BE there from Dubrovnik that early--making us need a 7/21 start.
So I like climb the Duomo to get your clue with a morning start on 7/21, but don't think TPTB would leave them there to sleep during the height of tourist season. So maybe make your way to the awesome monastery that overlooks the city where you can hear the Gregorian chants at sunset and also have a place to stay. Only wish I could remember the name!
Get your cars somewhere (this is puzzling because driving in Florence is very limited...)
Nick/Don FF it to Empoli for a this is forever moment.
Other teams to Vinci (I hope the clue only says find the town of Leonardo's birthplace!) where they do a flag-tossing Detour.
Then perhaps back to Florence (although I still don't like the idea of them driving into Florence--maybe a go to _____ and catch the train?) where they climb the Duomo to get their next Detour clue if they didn't do that first.
Given that Florence is the art history capital of the world, I wouldn't be surprised if the Detours involved finding some of Di Vinci's sculptures or paintings (just to stay with a theme!). And those Segway tours around Florence looked like SO much fun....
Then on to the Boboli Coffeehouse for the Pitstop...with all teams in by 4 or 5PM.
Well that was fun for me anyway--even if it ends up having no bearing on reality! Now--we need some more previews!!
