TAR15 EP7:"This is Not My Finest Hour" (The Netherlands)
apskip:
The Netherlands part of episode 7 started with a drive from Schiphol Airprot north and a little east. The MONUMENT shown was on a causeway. I have determined (not from the obvious looking at a map but through matching the monument on Internet articles) that the causeway is the Afsluitdijk, the road is the A7, and the E2 circle is close to where the Afsluitdijk Monument is. The North sea is on the left and the IJsselmeer is on the right of the causeway.
Here is a map showing where it is with respect to Groningen, which is at the far right:

The inside of the monument is rather different than the exterior. Here is a photo of part of it:
Boingo:
:lol: you can run, but you cannot hide... :funny: OK, buildings can't actually run... but you get my drift... THIS is the dance hall! (just a little more east of where we all thought it was. closer to the camping toilets). I guess Bing is good for something...it has higher resolution maps than Google... :groan: this building is massive enough, and it has the little side building hiding in the woods
Boingo:
:lol: wow, I'm really starting to like Bing Maps... FWIW, here's a clearer view of the Vierhuizen locations.. the resolution really leaves Google Earth in the dust... :funny:
puddin:
I like bing Boingo << hee it rhymes :lol:

I must say, this was one exciting leg, when it came down to Brian and Ericka and Maria and Tiffany at the end. I honestly thought from the beginning that Brian and Ericka would be last on an NEL, but who was to know that Maria and Tiffany would have been eliminated. :(
Sam and Dan - Great work this leg! But I didn't catch the part about them revealing that they're gay, hmm. Perhaps it wasn't the most strategic move for Sam to whisper the answer of the number of bells, but it was nice of him to do so anyway. Too bad the girls were eliminated in the end.
Meghan and Cheyne - Another strong finish despite them struggling at the Detour! I thought that another team would have caught up, but they still did so well.
Flight Time and Big Easy - It was great time redeemed, from last place to third. It was hilarious, them doing the Detour, lol.
Gary and Matt - Nice first place finish at the Roadblock! I'm really liking this team now, father and son are so sweet and are working so well with each other. This race has indeed brought them so close together. =)
Brian and Ericka - WOW at their luck, seriously. I honestly thought that they'd be last! This was definitely not their finest leg, but I was rather moved when Brian showed so much support to Ericka at the Roadblock. He was so patient, telling her not to give up, encouraging her all the way. I just went "awwww" when he welcomed Ericka with a hug at the bottom of the tower. I really love this team, but I hope that Ericka could take a chill pill.
Maria and Tiffany - Anyone with me that this Detour wasn't very fair? And I wonder what on earth was Maria doing at the Dance Detour, couldn't she hit that thing properly? It hurts to see them go out this way. Both Detours were really tough and kinda required physical strength, which was a disadvantage to them. But I'm just so proud of them, how they tried to the very end and never gave up. Please bring them back for All-Stars! This female team ROCKS!
Five teams remain... Here's just a random guess as to how the final outcome of the race will be.
1. Brian and Ericka
2. Meghan and Cheyne
3. Sam and Dan
4. Gary and Matt
5. Flight Time and Big Easy
Just a guess!
