--- Quote from: gingerman28 on March 29, 2007, 10:14:47 PM ---Warsaw University is just across the street from the Czapski Palace (with the Horse statue and the BQ's) and two blocks further up we saw C and M waving for a cab by the Zacheta and Augsburg Protestant Church.
This seems to be the C and M show; way too much emphasis on their deeds and little else of the others.
Detour most likely would not be either tuning the piano or the x ray; UNLESS C and M started one, gave up and tried the next one.
Getting pretty confusing; we need some kind of scenario to hang our hats on:
One Idea:
Day One: Hydrofoil from Zanzibar to Dar es Salaam
Fly Dar es Salaam to Nairobi
Fly Nairobi to Amsterdam
Fly Amsterdam to Krakow
Day Two: Arrive in Krakow
Make visits to places we have not seen (lots of ideas) but most likely the Wawal area and hopefully trip to Wieliczka Salt Mines
Travel to Oswiecim and visit Auschwitz-Birkenau for rememberance visit
Travel to Pieskowa Skala for DETOUR - Knight's Night Off
Pit stop in the Palace: "you got to be kiddin?" because it is TBC
Day Three: Travel to Warsaw
Many places to visit and tasks to do
Ostrogski or Czapski Palace to do the Piano Tune
Warsaw University for the X Ray
Perhaps something at the Memorial to the Heroes of the Warsaw Uprising
Finally to Lazienki Park to find the statue of King Jan III Sobieski (on the bridge of troubled waters) DETOUR find a rowboat and row to the Palace on the Water. Get instructions here to go to pit stop
Pit stop on the path towards the White House in Lazienki Park
Philimination No. 6.
This is just an idea, please feel free to embelish it or tell me it is all wet and I will jump in to Lazienki Lake and cool off.

Hi G-Man! :waves:
The only problem I see is that your Palace Pitstop on day 1 in Kracow ("you have got to be kidding me") actually occurs at the Mat in Lazienski Park at the Palace on the Water--we aren't sure where the Mat (TBC?) occurs yet in leg 1 although my guess would be at Pieskowa...
So here is my guess:
Thanks apskip for all the great flight work--I didn't think it would be so hard! I knew you had us to Amsterdam and from there it looked pretty easy! Sorry about that... :lol:
Here's what I think might happen:
Teams leave Zanzibar, probably via hydrofoil for Dar.
I still think flights out of Dar are at a premium due to the Hajj, so I wouldn't be surprised if the teams went via whatever was supposed to be the lost Pitstop (maybe Arusha?) and took whatever transport TPTB had planned --to get to Nairobi--(could be ground or air)--or a charter flight...
A task is possible but not probable.
Off to Nairobi and per apskip's flights, possibly via Amsterdam to Warsaw and on to Krakow.
I suspect flights Warsaw to Krakow, but we haven't done a train trip yet either!
Start in Krakow and on to The Salt Mines (total wishful thinking with no supportive evidence whatsoever! :lol:) and then to Birkenau (tasks unknown).
Then off to Pieskowa for the Roadblock--Knight's on Horseback--where Ch/Mirna fall seriously behind because Charla has trouble with the horse.
Luckily they are still racing and it is a TBC. (Pitstop here??)
On to Warsaw next day (Drive or train) where the teams have a choice of Detours:
X-Ray a mannequin for who knows (might be a nod to Marie Curie) why OR
Tune Chopin's Piano.
On to the Palace on the Water and Roadblock Row to Phil (hopefully something a little more exciting here) and then
Run to Phil at the Pitstop at Lazienski Park.
Still no rappelling--no bungee--no skydiving--so much for making it really hard for the All Stars! :lol:

I don't think it's a TBC when C/M arrive at the pitstop and say "Are you kidding me" because Phil is standing right beside a greater.

Both my sisters and my brother have been to tour concentration camps and all three say its probably the most moving thing htey have ever done.
Hopefully the racers will respect this. And hopefully the producers are smart enough not to make it so much of a task as an event.
A good example of how to handle this was Season 6 when tehy had to go through the final door leading to the ships to sail the slaves away.
Even annoying teams like Jonathan and Victoria and Adam and Rebecca were behaving themselves properly.

I agree with your thoughts exactly, mswood.
TAR has always shown respect when appropriate. (except maybe when they were running through the POW museum in N. Vietnam).
Also, a "racearoundtheworld" will take them to places that almost demand a visit (if nearby). Since I doubt that I will ever be able to visit Poland (or Vietnam or Western Africa)....I'm glad that TAR stops there.

I agree Michael--I think that is where we lose the Guidos--which is why I put that as the second city in my guess.
I'm saying it may be TBC at the other mat, which I think may end up being at Pieskowa (knight castle) but could certainly be Birkenau as well...
ETA: if anyone is desperate for a Polish translation of anything--let me know. I have someone willing to give it a go tomorrow morning....
puddin:
Another reason that Warsaw is after Krakow is that pitstop is where all the "kidding " goes on is right next to Lazienki Palace or Palace on the water whatever you want to call it and inside that Palace is where we have the Guido & Danielle confessionals ...now if it were a TBC at this point then that wouldn't explain the Dani/Guido confessional in the Palace...they wouldn't have time to sit and talk.
