Promo Screencaps
Mrs Shrek:
I found what I think is a boat shed here in Interlaken which looks a bit similar the group of buildings on the waters edge in the photo. It could be rather than a plaza it is a promanade or similar that they are riding along somewhere along the river connecting the two lakes
DrRox:
Is it possible that maybe they make them drive from Interlaken to Salzburg.
I did some driving directions on the European version of Mapquest, the trip takes 5 hr 40 minutes, Interlaken to Salsburg. The routing takes them across the Rhine River from Vaduz, Liechtenstein, btw. If in fact that they do drive from Interlaken to Salzburg and do tasks in Germany, then we have our final country.
Continuing on the routing, Obermaiselstein seems to be an acceptabe diversion from the Autobahn for tasks and then after that, back on the Autobahn to Salzburg. Going to Obermaiselstein gets the teams farther north of the spine of the Alps and at lower altitude, which might explain why there is no snow there yet and no huge peaks in the background of the promos of some tasks. Taking the diversion off the Autobahn to Obermaiselstein and back to the Autobahn, makes the driving time from Interlaken to Salzburg at about 7 hours.
I remember in TAR9, that the teams had to drive from Stuttgart to Bad Tolz and back to Munich. So WRP has previously had teams drive in this part of the world. They had to put on Lederhosen and break bottles or dance. So the beer/cake tent could be in Bavaria as well.
Interlaken to Obermaiselstein to Salzburg.
Anyway, nothing earthshattering, just some wierd/strange thoughts at 4 am.

Dr. Rox:
I did the same driving directions as you and came out almost identical. The straight through route without diversion to Obermaiselstein is "Geschätzte Fahrtdauer: 5 Stunden 38 Minuten Entfernung insg.: 605 Kilometer". I expected it would be more kilometers and more time, but there it is. The diversion to Obermaiselstein may be a little more than 2 hours total since the main route goes to the Munich autobahn, which is further north than the more direct but more time route to Salzburg.
For those of you who have not found Obermaiselstein on a map, it is quite near Fussen in southwest Bavaria but may not be on your map(it isn't on mine).
DrRox:
apskip,
I used both Mapquest and Google Earth for driving directions. Obermaiselstein comes up in both databases. There was about 10 minutes differences in travel time between Mapquest and Google Earth.
I just got through looking at the picture of the Auburn couple at the train station in Interlaken. There is snow in the streets if you look. So if there is snow on the streets when they get to Interlaken, then I am sure the mountain slopes are covered in snow too. So again, that makes me think the cheese deal and paragliding are somewhere at a lower altitude and farther north away from the high mountains in the Alps..

:ascared so many things to comment on.... ;)

I don't see any contraditions, if you assume two legs in Switzerland, Locarno and Interlaken. The pix of the Munoz Bros. is how they get to Locarno, and the other sightings may be how they get to Interlaken for the second leg. ;D

Not really that hard peach, once I identified the Gotthard Railway Line to Locarno, it made things a lot easier.

Thanks puddin, glad I could help.
