The first and last are a puzzle. There are a few pictures of Thailand, and the fellow in the middle looks like he might be playing a didgeridoo.

So they are new !! I'm not sure what I'm looking for so I'll pull the old ones out .
well we know
9 is Segesta
13 is the monkey festival ( yippee for us )
16 is our lumpur elephants ( yay )
7 goes with the Russian dancers ( band in the background , NICE vidcap! )

could 12 be at the festival or lumpur?

Marcus Aurelius, Rome? Don't think it's the Alexander Column in St. Petersburg as the Russian plaza is too big. The guy in the preview looks like he has wings. A saint, perhaps?

Yay Puddin for the column! It's definitely new. TAR hasn't been anywhere near Stuttgart (nearest venture is Friedrichshafen, Germany and Schauffhausen, Switzerland in TAR3). And here to report, the taxis are Greek!

Zante Radio Taxi Services

They're on the island of Zakynthos, off the Peloponnese Peninsula, geographically closer to Sicily than you can ever get. Hellenic Mediterranean Lines (not the boat in the vidcaps though) offers a service from Bridici (on the heel of Italy's boot) to the island. Could this be the link to Greece?

I'm now searching to see if our ferry plies between Zakynthos and the Greek mainland.

And now that I've settled down, Great find on the column Puddin.

I was trying. That led me to the track because I noticed the Mercedes hood ornament on the car in the credits.

And nice work to Neobie for morphing the jetty shot into something locatable.

I presume Joseph and Monica make it to the Porsche racetrack to go "Oh My God!"?

And looking at Stuttgart, could this be the Black Forest?

#1 was in a commercial for TAR8.

It was for the two hour show that had them leaving Costa Rica and ending up at Lake Powell.

And #25 may have been the beach where they had the pit stop in Costa Rica.]

#26 is definitelly one of those 300 special planes that they flew at sunrize in Arizona.

I have been moving TAR8 off of my hard drive to DVD, that's why I recognized these.

Wow! Lots of new stuff to play with. Updated route spec below with some changes based on the following info:

1. Stuttgard, Germany added to the route after Rome/Greece b/c of the 9-team-spoiler in Rome.
2. TBC leg moved from Australia to Europe. The Italy/Greece legs were getting so crowded that it makes a better fit.

Neobie · « **Reply #58 on:** March 18, 2006, 09:18:35 PM »

Was still pondering about the temple/monkey puzzle, so I got on a flight to Thailand to try to clear things up. (Well, actually, it was a holiday. But hey, who would go to Lopburi on their own?) Here's what I found...

Prang Sam Yot, Lopburi, Thailand

Your guesses were right! The temple in the previews are of Prang Sam Yot in Lopburi. Not as famous as I thought it would be, though, many locals couldn't recognize which temple the picture in the preview was. Finally got some help from the Tourist Office to get me to the temple. The picture is taken from the east side of the complex, framing only the two southern tops (out of three). Yeah, yeah, the monkeys are there alright. Everywhere.

Wanted to get some team and production information, but the two ladies mannning the ticket office didn't speak English (and I, unfortunately, not Thai). They did, however, show me where the field with the Thai boy monk was... right outside the temple, on Thanon Wichayen. The picture was taken facing east.

Elephant Kraal, Ayuthaya, Thailand

Following the suggestions from the board, made my way to Ayuthaya. It's a two hour bus ride to the town from Lopburi (the Thai bus system is surprisingly brilliant, the teams won't have any trouble) and a half-hour tuk-tuk ride out of town to the Elephant Kraal. I'm still not sure if the race came here. It's a kinda small area (say, three football fields) and not a lot of people (certainly not tourists) around. There's not much going on, though I did see a platform where one can ride on an elephant. Didn't see any uniformed people (from pre-race promotion videos) in the area.

The sandy patches, yeah, they match, and the fences kind of do too. While asking a lady working in the management there about filming and stuff, she did say that there were production teams from time to time, but doesn't remember anything happening in December last year. She seemed genuine enough, didn't seem like a cover up. Take a look at the photos and decide for yourselves?

Cool Beans Neobie

!! Welcome back

Slowhatch · « **Reply #60 on:** March 18, 2006, 09:48:17 PM »

Thanks for solving the boy monk, Neobie. Is it possible there's more than one kraal in Ayutthaya? The uniforms on the tourist mahouts pictured here are similar to the ones we've seen before, but the landscape looks different: some ruins and a traffic roundabout are nearby.

Neobie · « **Reply #61 on:** March 18, 2006, 09:59:16 PM »

I'm inclined to think there's only one kraal in Ayuthaya (at least Lonely Planet tells me so). It's 4km from the centre of town, so perhaps the elephants can be herded out to the city for tour groups. From the website, Chinese couple with camcorders? 100% belonging to a tour group.

Unpacking my photos from the trip, I'm thinking the wat in the website is Wat Ratburana (also Wat Ratchaburana) right in the centre of town. Nearby are the only two roundabouts in town (both with the King's pictures). However, Ayuthaya is covered head to toe with ruins and the King's pictures, so I can't say anything with certainty as of now.

Neobie · « **Reply #62 on:** March 22, 2006, 04:05:44 AM »

So if the taxis are in Germany (I'm still not 100% sure, some of the signs on the German taxis were off to the side) does that mean that Zakinthos is off the list?
