It turns out that you were correct, but what a travesty of travel agent work. Instead of sending those 4 teams and their crews from JRO to NBO, a simple and straightforward task, the travel agents must have sent them on the initiation of QR535 DAR NBO 1141 1258 before they went NBO DOH on the schedule indicated for Vanessa and Ralph on the schedule above. A few travel agents ought to be shot for not sending the 4 teams and crew directly to Nairobi instead of routing them through DarEsSalaam to get there.
Vanessa and Ralph clearly had much better travel agent support and got on QR535 in Nairobi. All teams apparently traveled together to Doha and Kochi.

You certainly have the right to believe what you wish. Personally, I like to believe in the facts.

Hi Roxy! :waves: Always a pleasure!
Don't you mean December 12th? :duno:

Chateau,
You know that I the greatest respect for your work. However, this time you have laid an egg. I will not speak for Dr. Rox (he would not tolerate that anyway), but I can speak for myself and all the string of dates in this thread. Apparently, you have played Rip can Winkle while that was happening. You have to look at this from both ends and either way the conclusion that you are not one but TWO days behind is probable.
We know for a fact that Dec. 4 evening was the pit stop start time in Torino.
The evening of Dec. 5 was spend in transit by all teams and the Fussen pit stop started Dec. 6 afternoon.
Teams were released Dec. 7 am and headed for Baku. They reached there but did not have a leg until the morning of Dec. 8.
The next pit stop started the afternoon of Dec. 8.
Teams were released Dec. 9 am and it took until the following morning for teams to reach Ngrongoro Crater.
I have an extended pit stop (probably an extra 24 hours) while they were in Ngorongoro). You may not have assumed that but they have to have them.
That puts the start of leg 7 on Dec. 11, with a pit stop overnight in Mto Wa Mbu or Arusha (it really doesn't matter for date purposes).
Team fly to India and arrive Dec. 13 am, then do leg 9.
With an assumption of no extended pit stop in India teams start leg 10 Dec. 14 am (two days before you have it) and depart for Japan on
Dec. 15. If there is an extended pit stop in Kochi, then that departure would be Dec. 16.
They will arrive Dec. 16 (no India extended pit stop) or Dec. 17 (an Indian extended pit stop) and do leg 11, then enter another extended pit stop.
That takes us to either Dec. 18 or Dec. 19 departure from Osaka and the cross-the-International-Date-Line-west-to-east so they arrive same day.
Another way to look at this is top go backwards from the final tasks for the F3, which is know to be on Dec. 18. Go back across the International Date Line, which subtracts one day and it's Dec. 17. Take an extended pit stop in Japan and it's Dec. 16 starting that leg. Go back from Japan to India and it's Dec. 15, which is when teams leave India. The beginning of leg 10 will therefore by Dec. 14.
TAR Fanatic:
This has nothing to do with transportation, but the final day of filming was Monday, Dec 19, 2011.

TAR Fanatic,
You could be right. Go examine the analyses I have placed earlier in this thread and also in the Ep. 10 thread. It may have been Dec. 18 and it may have been Dec. 19. The difference is determined by whether there was an extended pit stop in Kochi.
