Most likely not a moving Pit Stop.

Why?  Not understanding ???

We have them on a FERRY.

Which to me implies traveling on that ferry.

Which implies Moving Pitstop.

May well not be the Europa...but whatever ferry, they are likely going on...right?

Teams have traveled on ferries plenty of times outside of a pit stop.

But they did not have time for a Pitstop before we see them on the ferry, right?

But I can't seem to document a ship photo or a past schedule.

The leg in Venice ended in the morning of 22 Jun. (Pit Stop photos have shadows pointing west.)
The ferry photo was posted at around 11pm on 23 Jun.

That leaves some 36 hours in between for a Pit Stop and for teams to travel to the ferry departure point, which as explained above is likely to be in southern Italy. (A train from Venice to Bari, for example, takes 8 hours.)

That's a LONG journey. I did that exact trip in reverse except for the stop in Ancona. Igoumenitsa to Venice was at least 17 hours. Got on the ferry in the morning and arrived in Venice the next morning. Whichever ferry they are on, if they're going Italy to Greece (or even Croatia as ferries go there from Ancona [ive done that one too], it's going to be a long trip.

Oh okay!! I was thinking Venice was the 23rd.

So lets look at this from her angle:

1-Verona
2-Venice
3-Pisa
4-Florence
5-Rome
6-Roman Colosseum
7-Sorrento Coast
8-

So if they are on ferry together let's assume Sorrento.





Sorrento ferries:

Amalfi
Capri
Ischia
Naples
Positana

All 20-30 min

(somebody find me one with a helipad??)

http://www.capri.net/en/ferry-schedule?from=sorrento&to=capri

Venice to Sorreto: by plane/train/car

http://www.rome2rio.com/s/Venice/Sorrento

ALL 5-8 hrs

So could we say Pitstop>>transport to Sorrento>.get on ferry>>one of above destinations?

And please oh powers that be >>let it be Capri!!  :hearts:

Didn't mean Patras (s in the end; traditional Greek spelling Πατρας) in Greece? I think its a safer route by land transportation to Athens. Since the Greek economic crisis is over, its now safe for Americans.

My name is Naannuu!!! Jr Miss Yakama Nation 2016-2017👑🌺 my life is lit don't ruin it! good vibes only

 This is the 4th greeter we have seen posting? WRP must not be doing NDA's anymore. :duno:  :groan:
She's from Washington , I thinks shes traveling not a greeter
Wapato, Washington :p

Candi, you've covered it pretty well. I'll add that the Yakama Nation is a Native American tribe located near Yakima, WA (and Wapato). It's funny, but I just provided some information to them a couple of days ago as part of my job. I'm stunned to see their name turn up here about TAR 29 in Italy. I can't imagine why the young woman brought along her costume if she's traveling as a tourist, but I'd be surprised if her pageant duties included a trip to Europe. While I'm not particularly near Yakima, there are other tribes in my area and I don't recall hearing of any of them have their beauty queens traveling internationally. It would seem she must be making some appearances though, if she's hauling one of her tribal dresses with her.

That's one thing I like about hunting spoilers. Every so often, a connection comes up that seems so off the wall that you can't believe it, but it's true. For me, this is one of those.

Her Colosseum photo shows a badge and strap for EF Tours; I haven't found a match yet, but the only thing that comes close to her itinerary (and includes a night ferry) is the Italy/Greece package.

Agree. She may be doing the "Splendors of the Mediterranean" tour. (http://www.eftours.com/eLiterature/DBD/M/SME.pdf)

Day 1: Milan to Venice. The shortest route passes by Verona so they could have made a stop there
Day 2: Venice
Day 3-4: Florence with a possibility of a daytrip in Pisa
Day 5-6: Rome
Day 7-8: Sorrento Coast and Pompeii + night ferry to Greece
This schedule seems to match her pics.

It dosen't say where they take the ferry in Italy but it's destination is Igoumenitsa

Here's an update from her Snapchat profile  :trampb:

Looks like ferry went to Igoumenitsa, Greece, 05:18 (CET+1)

On "Snapchat2" you can see same yellow circle, and you can compare "snapchat3" with following pic: https://www.google.com/maps/@39.498103,20.235148,3a,75y,90t/data=!3m8!1e2!3m6!1s108775077!2e1!3e10!6s%2F%2Flh3.googleusercontent.com%2Fproxy%2F0rmKqQmAKXtWakcBK1Ts9vib9JhhB5BCDxomMigpB2mCg7eebr7z-iNs8PtrWlqCUWHm7cofNYPGIJmbOBK_xPCXH0OpCXI%3Dw203-h135!7i5184!8i3456?hl=en

And true, her expired pics were from Pompeii!

Greece uses Eastern European Time (UTC+2/UTC+3 during DST), its an hour ahead of Italy.

The Superfast 1 is currently in Patras port. http://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/home/shipid:213812/zoom:10
Teams didn't necessarily get off in Igoumenitsa...

We are on the ferry to go to Greece and we spot a team for the TV show "Amazing Race"

Based on the picture, we can probably say that these teams are safe:
Floyd and Becca (Team 2)
Joey and Tara (Team 8 )
Scott and Unknown Female
Mike and Unknown Female (Team 11)
Logan and London

Did they start the next leg?
The MM team should have checked in already.

 it's the team with two white dudes, one with a hipster beard and one leg. Maybe tattoos in the mix somewhere.
asked and she said it was this afternoon

by the way y'all rock!!!  :hoot:

What was this afternoon?? ???

So apparently someone saw supposedly Team 1 that but they already checked in to the pitstop supposedly. And at this pt checking in they would have been last.  ???

And they didn't show up on the ferry either. ??? Could this day after the leg be the moving pitstop? ???
This season is a huge conundrum.  :funny:

Here's the pitstop pic:

That would not possibly be after the PitStop. Eliminated teams are separated from the rest immediately and do not hang out with them.

So...what could it be instead? ???

Fossil, please give us the link to this post, we need exact timing. Thanks!

There are so many countries being visited this season that haven't been visited in a while. (Panama, Brazil, Tanzania, and now Greece!) I'm hoping for more places, and hopefully, a visit to Australia!!!

That would be the icing on the cake, Australia hasn't been visited in 11 seasons now. The continent as a whole since TAR22

I just hope we don't get the usual overvisited countries in Asia :( Assuming this is Leg 8, they're probably headed there after this one.
