These are the only two shots we have of Ash/Jarrod in Croatia during the day.. notice the guy in the first cap tying a bow tie. Maybe watch a demo and then Jarrod attempting it on Ash?

Celebrating historical ties in Dubrovnik

Like many of you, I lament the loss of the cravat. Not quite wearing a tie, not quite a slob, you have the best of both worlds: casual while being elegant. But did you know a tie is a cravat – ‘tie’ merely referring to the fact the cravat is knotted at the collar? And ‘cravat’ is a corruption of the word Croat, Croatian mercenaries are the ones to thank for introducing to the rest of Europe in the 16th century the fashion of men wearing a piece of lace about their necks.

Well, I did not know these things – until I came to Dubrovnik, where it’s quite a big deal. In fact, every October they have a Day of the Tie when they celebrate the iconic neckwear and decorate several prominent statues with their own large-scale versions.

Cap 45 is here; note that this is where the kayak people sign up the tourists, so the racers must be heading down to the beach.

SamualDude:
They've just announced on the facebook page that it will be a double episode.

If you walk in the same direction than Ashleig & Jarrod - but not taking the stairs as them -, you end on a balcony from where you can see St. Lawrence Fortress. I guess that's the place they're heading to.

Katarina:
Double episode tonight ?  ???
