Actually, I got mixed up. I thought the Pit Stop was in Alexanderplatz which is very near where the restaurant that the tweeter mentions. In actual fact, Alexanderplatz is a long way away from Joachimstalerplatz.

Here's the detail of time and exact location :




Note that the time is in Melbourne timezone, so you might want to convert it to local time there,
Can't really measure how far from the pit stop as I have limited access to gmaps..

A Berlin sighting!! (thanks Alenaveda) :)

This was taken just around the corner from the Pit Stop. I'm not even too sure which team that is.. Is it the tanned team who wore pink in the airport?

Rob Chestnut ‏@RhChestnut
This is for you @micczech1212 : Potential Amazing Racers spotted in Berlin. We'll see @ Giovanni´s Eisdiele http://instagr.am/p/Sv5OQGlBdN/



I asked for more details and he replied: 'we saw two teams both carrying large illuminated letters that you’d find in a Berlin local 2nd hand market. Guy & girl and 2 girls'

Dom,
Can you find out if this was taken on the night of December 1st or December 2nd ?

'No problem. Yeah it was on the first around 18:00, then saw the second team about 15 minutes later. Great end to our time in Berlin.'

Huge thanks to @rhchestnut for answering my questions!

I thought I saw an Amazing Race team on Monday in Edinburgh.  I actually just joined this forum just to see if anyone else had seen teams there as well.

The details.
My wife, our two boys, and my in-laws were checking out of our hotel to catch the 17:00 train to London.
We were staying at the Holiday Inn Express on Cowgate.  We were walking out of the door around 16:00.
As we were all getting outside we noticed a bright light 10 yards away.  There was a 2-man camera crew filming two people walking into the hotel.  They went inside to ask the person at the desk something.  The film crew stayed outside.  From what I remember one of the persons was a blonde woman.  In her 20's I think with a fair bit of makeup.  I think the other person was a blonde woman as well, but to be honest they walked by us before I noticed that they were the focus of the film crew so the other could have been a bald man from what I remember!

What made me think they were Racers?
It was two people and a film crew of two.
They exited a brand new silver Ford hatchback.  (Ford is the usual make for the races, yes?)
The Ford had a small yellow-red-yellow flag stuck on the inside on the windshield.  Just like a little Amazing Race symbol.
They went into a Holiday Inn Express to ask directions.  (Americans looking for something familiar?)
I asked one of the film crew if they were filming for the Amazing Race.
One replied, in an American accent, that they "wished" they were filming the Race, but they were filming some other "copy-cat" show.

I left it at that, wished the crew luck, and we headed off to Waverly station to catch our train.
I thought maybe I should get a photo of the team/crew/car, but then I thought better of it and just let them run the race if that's what was going on.

Did we see the Amazing Race?  I suppose we'll have to wait to see if we're all on camera next season!

@Mattjimf @bieberauhlsykes Could have sworn I saw two racers yesterday in EDN. Holiday Inn Express on Cowgate around 16:00.
It may have been doofus that sent me the tweets.

If they were driving, they may have been heading for the Royal Yacht Britannia, the zoo or the Forth Road Bridge (for views over to the Forth Rail Bridge).

If they were in the Cowgate, they could have been looking for Holyrood (Scottish Parliment), Our Dynamic Earth, Holyrood Palace (Queen's offical residence in Scotland), Grayfrier's Kirkyard (home of Greyfrier's Bobby), Scott's Monument (dedicated to Sir Walter Scott) or the Castle (although you really can't miss that).

I've attached a map highlighting the places above (this is where I concentrated looking last night seeing as I didn't have much to go on, but that they were probably in Edinburgh city centre) and the Royal Mile.

Guess what show is making yet another pitstop in South Africa in 2013 with various versions prepping to film here in the new year.

South Africa will be a busy jetsetting place in 2013 for one global reality show in particular.

Said show will be filming in South Africa and places like Cape Town for various variations of the show during the course of next year, most notably for the version from Down Under.

I think NIE is possibly in relation to the Northern Ireland Executive which is basically where the Northern Irish government are situated - located at Stormont Castle in Belfast (sorry I cannot include a picture)

They are currently filming a film called Sunshine on Leith near where she has as her location, so could be in reference to that.
