I think it's a local bus from the citadel to the tomb. It looks very far in Google Earth.

Thanks banzai! We see two buses, one clearly says city but would like to be sure the other isn't a HCMC>>Hue long distance bus.
I just finished watching the whole thing, and was surprised to find our bridge in Cai Be! :ascared :funny:
There is going to be a huge spread in departure times this leg.
Some teams arrive at the museum just before dark (5-7PM??) 5/23 and others are still in Cai Be beginning a task as it is already dark, so add , maybe 5 more hours? So some teams can leave the pitstop at 5-7AM, and others not until maybe after noon? That plays havoc with bus/train schedules...not sure that works? This would also be a good place for an extended 36 hour pitstop as teams look exhausted.
But we need some bunching here somewhere.
Apskip has done some flights for us:
--- Quote --- VN250 0700 0820 for early teams or VN252 1130 1250 for later teams
--- End quote ---
but we may need a later flight or 2 as well. And where is the bunching?
FOR INSTANCE, how is it we see AD/Fuzzie and Mai/Oliver in Hue at almost the same time/place doing the cyclos? They should be hours apart UNLESS there has been some nice transportation or task bunching somewhere, right?
