I am happy we have a 40,000 mileracer this time 
I'm hoping for something closer to 70,000 miles and six continents again. But I'm glad it's finally getting longer instead of shorter.
Season 12 just had a pathetic route and reducing the number of legs didn't help.
Hooky, Maybe I have missed something about 6 Continents, but how did you conclude that for AR13? I don't know of anything that definitely says that and I consider inclusion of Africa in AR13 unlikely.
I don't know. To me it makes sense that all those islands must be part of
some continent. I grew up learning that Australia, Papua New Guinea, and all the islands in that general area are part of the same continent. Just like Madagascar and Mauritius are part of Africa.
But Season 13 is 5 continents, in case you thought I posted 6. And I've just never questioned that NZ is part of the Australia/Oceania continent.
If those aren't the issues, I'm not sure what you mean.
