It's available in map form here. I can't link to it directly: click the center image to bring up the menu bar. Then you can choose "there's a place" in Hamburg and click on individual Beatle spots, or click the map link to see groups of them displayed. The trouble is, most Beatle spots are centered around the Reeperbahn station. The metro scavenger hunt might include non-Beatles stuff.

The windows behind them make me think they are on a boat. Maybe a restaurant on the water?

The food does not have to be on the menu. The location of the eating task is more important. For that matter, TPTB could stage the whole eating task on a random boat. By not having the eating task at restaurant, there are fewer eye-witnesses; fewer people to help spoilers.

Bringing this over...thanks apskip!!
--- Quote from: apskip on March 06, 2010, 08:36:17 PM ---I think it's time for a comprehensive overview of how the remaining teams will get from Bariloche to Hamburg. First, a few basics:
1. all flights from San Carlos de Bariloche to Buenos Aires (and they are only a few) go into Jorge Newberry (AEP) airport.
2. Public transportation must be taken to get from AEP to the Pistiani (EZE) international airport. Here is information on the schedules for those buses - Airport Shuttle
Manuel Tienda Leon Bus runs every 30 minutes to the Retiro Bus Station (near Retiro Train Station) and to the Manuel Tienda Leon terminal (Terminal Madero at 1299 Avenida Madero) at the back of the Sheraton Hotel at Plaza San Martin. Buses continue to Ezeiza International Airport. There is a MTL desk in the Arrivals area. Buses leave the airport every 30 minutes 08:30-20:00 then at 21:00 and 21:45
We start with SCB AEP and find that almost everything misconnects with outbound international flights. The only really worthy flight that connects after huge delay is AR2674 2145 2350. Teams would sleep near AEP airport and then get the 0830 bus TO EZE. They would then be able to book one of these these transatlantic flight combinations:
BA246 EZE LHR 1315 0705+1
LH4791 LHR HAM 0915+1 1155+1
G37659 EZE GRU 1420 1700
LH507 GRU FRA 1905 1035+1
LH012 FRA HAM 1215+1 1315+1
LH519 EZE FRA 2150 1500+1
LH018 FRA HAM 1600+1 1700+1
An iffy proposition is this:
BRC AEP AR1683 1220 1425 OR BRC AEP LA4345 1230 1435
then the bus transfer (or maybe a taxi to make it a sure thing),
followed by only the last set of flights above.[/size]

Thanks Apskip for the airport transfer information! Boingo discovered caps for the Frankfurt Airport train station though, so I'm pretty sure teams are mandated to enter the country via Frankfurt to ease customs clearing. This has usually been the case when the destination doesn't host the largest airport in the country/region, for example teams in TAR 14 were mandated to fly into Moscow before heading to Krasnoyarsk, and to fly via Guangzhou to get to Guilin.
I have some flights from Buenos Aires to Frankfurt in the Timeline Thread: http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php/topic,21194.msg513305.html#msg513305.
I believe teams are released in Bariloche in the morning of the 4th, not the afternoon/evening of the 3rd, otherwise they should all be bunched up and able to reach Hamburg in the daytime. Most of them arrive at the Intersection in the dark, though.
In particular, for Jet/Cord to arrive in Hamburg by sunset (4.02pm), it looks like they are going to take (and make) this itinerary:
AR 2681 to Buenos Aires AEP, 1110-1313
Transfer to Buenos Aires EZE
JJ 8005 to Sao Paulo, 1520-1900
LH 507 to Frankfurt, 2005-1035
ICE to Hamburg, 1137-1534
Boingo:
:lol: curious, Neobie.... the only ICE train I see in the DB website in that timeframe is the 12:42 (ICE 578) train. Either way, if they arrive anytime around 16:00 it should be sufficiently dark (as it was December 4-5). ;)
looks like there's an ICE train every 2 hours from Frankfurt Flughafen to Hamburg-Altona (8:42, 10:42, 12:42...) B:)
