Because there was no 3pm flight from Ushuaia to Buenos Aires that day to get! 3pm was teh arrival time in Maputo that was guaranteed with the Amazing Race tickets, which any team that is not composed of idiots should beat with minimal effort. They missed the 1033 flight because of the hours of noperation on the chairlift and travel agency delays combined, so the next flight was at 2136. You could see the dusk as the plane with all teams on it departed. The flights from there follow the route and times indicated in my ULTIMATE TIMELINE (it was #1700 on page 69 of SPOILER thread but that may have altered), but the conclusion of 940am arrival on TM300 from Johannesburg was always inescapable for the earliest possible.
The Guidos had no incentive to hurry once they wer locked into a 2136 departure, so they may have returned to the travel agent later that afternoon to get photographed by the person who sent it out on the Internet.

And now it is 12/1 in Maputo--which means a longer Pitstop in Ushuaia right? A whole day maybe?

GEORGIAPEACH, you are asking the right questions but not coming to the conclusion that ties it all together properly:
1. There was an extended pitstop of 36 hours in Ushuaia and the plane left there on Monday night Nov. 28.
2. On the Indian Ocean, the last connecting flight landed in Maputo on Wednesday morning Nov. 30 at 940am.
3. Amazing Race editors played a nasty trick on us again. Teams left Maputo airport to go to INHAMBANE, which is not 45 miles away) and stayed overnight there (not shown on the episode).
4. On Thursday morning Dec. 1, teams did the early morning rat Roadblock at the APOPO training site near Inhambane and then returned by driven vehicle to Maputo. When Danny and Oswald ran into the AIDS Day march in Maputo, it was the afternoon of Dec. 1 when the march logically was.
5. The detours were then done and the pitstop reached in Maputo.
Chateau d If:
Thanks Apskip, I started thinking that may be the deal. I didn't get the context that it was an arrival time. Still waiting here on the West coast.
:hoot:

That would make sense--unless there is some other training site 45 miles outside Maputo? But then if the flight arrived 12/1 it would have been too late for all those tasks right? Oh--my head hurts! :lol: But why wouldn't they tell us where they really were? I don't remember that happening before...
