TAR13 Episode Timeline, Route, Schedule

Kiwi, I don't think we have any evidence for Santa Cruz being anything but a transit point for Phil yet...but can't rule it out either!
I actually woke up with some dates bothering me, so maybe y'all can help??
April 23 --what happened on that day? Where are our guys and what are they doing? Why do we not see them till elevator on 4/24? Are they sleeping outside somewhere that night?
April 29-30--okay, bear with me here and then set me straight...
Chateau figured it out long before we had confirmation from the blogger that the teams were actually seen in La Paz on the 28th...making the pitstop that night (28).
We see Phil (passing thru?) Santa Cruz on the 29th. We know he likes to stay a jump ahead of the teams.
We see teams arriving in Santiago airport tired and dirty on the 30th, prior to the flight to Auckland.
We can assume that production needs to be absolutely sure that teams do NOT miss that flight to Auckland, or things really will go haywire. So we can guess that they might want them in or very nearby Santiago in plenty of time to be sure they can not miss the flight...so no tight connections into Santiago--instead, have them already there.
So if that is true, looks like the choices would be:
An extended pitstop in La Paz, with leisurely travel to Santiago on the 30th to catch that flight. So if this is the case, wouldn't teams be arriving clean and rested, fresh off their extended pitstop w/ loads of time to bathe and do laundry? ??? And arr late that day could mean a possibility of missing the Auckland flight if they get held up along the way...
OR...could we possibly squeeze in an actual leg .....in or nearby Santiago??
Pitstop night of 4/28 La Paz
Travel to Santiago 4/29 (Phil a little ahead of the teams on the morning of 4/29 going via Santa Cruz)
Arrival later (when??) in Santiago...
(apskip has told us HERE that:
--- Quote ---So, it takes much of the day to get to Santiago and the plane arrives at 1725 if from either LaPaz or Santa Cruz. This dictates that the arrival day in SCL has to be Tuesday April 29(alowing a REST DAY) or Wed. April 30 to connect with LAN 801 at 2245 on 4/30.
--- End quote ---
Tasks...
(But how to fit in a pitstop? Is there time? We have maybe 24 hours here from when teams could arr Santiago 1725 4/29 to when teams are back at Santiago airport 4/30...Possible? Or could we see the return of the "keep on racing" here?)
Tasks on 4/30 making them tired and dirty...
Arrival 5 ish to Santiago airport 4/30 ....and a long flight to Auckland giving them time to rest up a little.
I'm also looking for 11 legs and keep coming up short...But this would help:
Leg 1 LA to Salvador
Leg 2 somewhere in SA
Leg 3 La Paz
Leg 4 Santiago area
Leg 5 North Island, NZ
Leg 6 Siem Reap, Cambodia
Leg 7 Delhi, India
Leg 8 unknown
Leg 9 unknown
Leg 10 Moscow
Leg 11 race to Portland finale
OR:
Leg 8 unknown
Leg 9 Moscow
Leg 10 unknown
Leg 11 race to Portland finale
Anyway, this is all "woke up from a sound sleep" thinking about this thinking...
So what do y'all think?
Could we squeeze in one more SA leg...or not? ???
:helpme

Peach:
Earliest arrival if on April 29 would be at 1725 and the flight out to Auckland leaves Santiago at 2245 on April 30. There would be time for a TBC in Santiago, but not a full pitstop. There is no reasonable way teams could finish tasks within hours after arrival. It is possible that a task schedule for Santiago was very quick and compact, but I doubt it. The REST DAY hypothesis is still the most likely, although that begs the question of why the teams were dirty.
puddin:
There is room for another leg in Siem Reap if we can put the teams at Bayon on May 5th then the sighting of the teams in Siem Reap - Angkor International Airport on May 6th.

Just to catch up....
So I just got back into Thailand from Cambodia.... which is why i haven't posted in a while. Ends up that Cambodia is not a telecommunications mecca. Anyways, everything has kinda been a whirlwind. Covered 3 countries in 2 weeks and it kinda feels like we are on "The Amazing Race".... and i mean literally. Yesterday we were in Angkor Wat (more of that story later... it is AMAZING... you should look up pictures... seriously a Wonder of the Ancient world--- i thought better than the stuff i saw in Rome) The Amazing Race was filming at Angkor the same day we were there. AND THEN... we end up at the airport to fly to Bangkok from Cambodia... and who was on our airplane.... thats right.... 3 teams competing on the next season of the Amazing Race. We are sitting there and then all the sudden all these camera and sound guys are filming everything. And the producer guy was sitting in the seat right behind me and vida. CRAZY!! So now we consider ourselves official unofficial cast members. And before all this started I was telling vida that i thought it felt like we were on the amazing race.
and yet another blog
more Siem Reap
We didn't manage to take a picture of it but i think we ran into a couple doing the Amazing Race here. We'll have to check out the next season but the couple was being followed by a camera man and they had to find a specific face in the ruins. I did my best to make a cameo between this and Bollywood I am really getting my face out there.
Kiwi Jay:
Sorry can I get this straight are the teams in Sao Paolo for half a leg and the pitstop is in Salvador or what... I read peach's post and it said
Leg 1 L.A to Salvador, Brazil??
Chateau d If:
I'm thinking it could be like, for example, the first leg of TAR7 when they flew to Lima, Peru, spent the night on the beach, and flew to Cuzco, Peru for the rest of the leg. They had to find their departure times in sand piles at the beach. Early/lucky teams got the best departure times. And they did not wait until sunrise to get going. We have the pinks coming into Salvador at 12:30 pm on Gol Transportes Aereos flight #1600 via a connection in Rio. They did not get the best departure tag. :lol:
