nice view, from what I've seen Papamoa Hills it is perfect Slowhatch  :kuss:

Since it now appears that Forteleza was an extended (18 hour?) pitstop, I am relooking at our previous thought that La Paz must be an extended Pitstop. Two back to back seems strange, as Chateau also noted.

So just for completeness, took a quick look at some bus info, but it seems to take too long to me.

HERE and HERE

I still think that TPTB would want the teams in Santiago in good time to avoid any chance of them missing the crucial NZ flight, but can't explain why they are seen arriving at the airport in two waves tired and dirty as per Justin.

Any other ides? I have been obsessing about this missing day for 5 months now, :lol:

The pit stop in Fortaleza must have been either 12 or 36 hours.  Phil announces that Ken and Tina were the first to arrive at 12:51PM so they will be departing at 12:51AM.  12 seems more likely, with a 36 hour rest after La Paz when teams will surely need it.

I have another group of thoughts about this subject. It is not possible that there was an extended pitstop in Fortaleza beyond the 18 hours we are sure of because pitstops have nnever gone to 42 hours and 42 hours is the only way other than 18 hours that fits the available data points. A new idea that occurred to me is having the ride to that dinner of the teams in LaPaz after arrival culminate in a 24 hour rest stop not shown in episode 3. If they start this 4/27 evening they will be taken to the "sleep on the sidewalk" task at the same time the evening of April 28, wake up on 4/29 and complete their LaPaz tasks before noon on 4/29. That makes their release from the pitstop before midnight and their flights out of LaPaz on the morning of April 30.
