I think Candi Lee found it, windows seems to be the same, same type of finish in the facade and beautiful landscape btw.

If the confessional is in Poland, we'll definitely have a TBC leg.

anyone for confessional location? (which could probably be a pit stop ;) )



The classic architecture and warmer climate suggests somewhere other than a fishing village in Norway.   ;)

...perhaps Vienna or some such location...  :res:   ...or maybe not....  :)
Poland I think Sofitel Grand Sopot

 :hoot:  yep, I agree, picture probably taken right here

I woke up this morning just to post my TBC spec, but you guys have already made a hunch which is great! What Tim & Marie are wearing in their confessional looks like summer gear, not only that, but we do have a photo of them racing in Poland wearing those  same clothes (I'll bring it to this post in a minute).

Here's the photo http://web.stagram.com/p/481886610339074065_339554547

I guessed a TBC because Speed Bumps and U-Turns get complicated in a leg and having Leg 4 NEL is so unoriginal. Bring on the TBC!

Could this be a sign that this leg will be a TBC leg? In fact that Tim & Marie shot their confessional in Poland (which is the next leg's destination), not Norway? :)

Not necessarily, we have occasionally seen future confessionals used in current eps...

Nice eye! So they're in the...Hotel Aurora? getting information (or signing up for a fast boat).
On a different topic, the sightline for the Viking treasure chest would put them on Sauoya island (or someplace similar--photo source).

Yes, from the point of view of the camera they should be at the hotel.

BTW, this Sighting pic is in the corner of the museum.

For what it is worth-the latest issue of National Geographic has a nice spread on the Lofoten Islands.

Well, it appears from these new previews that ALL of the confessionals are at that same place. Which is strong evidence in favor of a (sigh) "Post-UB Lame TBC Episode." That for some reason counts as two legs. (:;)

(I'm still waiting for someone to give me an acceptable explanation as to why such a phenomenon should be considered two legs.)

Appears there was a bunching point somewhere. Maybe the airport ?
