--- Quote ---On World AIDS Day, 1 December, Alliance staff members joined Beira citizens, school students, non-governmental, government, community- and faith-based organisations, in a two-hour march to show solidarity in the face of HIV and AIDS. The march takes place on World AIDS Day each year, and culminated in speeches by those involved.

Isn't Beira like a zillion miles from Maputo? ???

Yep. Which is why I posted that I didn't think there could be a connection. It was just the only AIDS march I was able to find any info on at all.
Didn't mean to muddy the waters any more than they already are! :lol: (crawling back into my hole...)

Well, I'm no good at these kind of things but maybe this can help:
--- Quote ---World AIDS Day began in each location with a parade through the town that included members of the administration, hospital staff, other AIDS advocacy groups and community members.

Oh, VERY good job, Michael D!
That's even more interesting because apskip has previously posted that the training camp for the ratties is there, and that the distance would be feasible.
--- Quote ---I may have the answer to the dilemma posed above. It can be found on the APOPO website. APOPO is the organization running the landmine clearing operation further north in Mozambique, but its training base is here:

Mine Detection Rats
PO Box 649 , Maputo - Mozambique
Country office, Logistics and Training base:
Avenida da Revolucao, Inhambane
Tel/Fax: + 258 293 20 126 - Mobile : + 258 82 31 80 990
Inhambane is 300 km (190 miles) north and east of Maputo on the coast. I am guessing that it will be 4 to 5 hours by car or bus. That is doable for tired Amazing Race teams, even though it is equally possible that the rats are imported to the Maputo area for a special task.

Inhanbane has everything we need to complete some of the screencaps--beautiful beaches, dhows, fishing, dolphin swimming---but that doesn't explain how they still end up back in Maputo at that doggone fort.
Unless we are looking at this backwards? Maybe they arrive Maputo via Jo-burg but go directly on to Inhambane via another flight? Or car or whatever...
Do the ratties, see the AIDS march, (I would still like a children's AIDS segment here), and then go back to Maputo for the Detour and Pitstop.
Gosh--now I'll have to go back and look at all those Chateautime shots to see if this could possibly fit!
Thanks Michael D!
