THIS is interesting though and we haven't commented on it.
What's going on in the cell? Maybe other team member has to find / decipher something??
Uhhhhh peach that is a Birdcage. The falcon seen on the mat in the video is in there. They were talking about loosing fingers
Thank you so much! I was asking about that photo yesterday, only I called it "the bars" photo. Glad to know that.
The drive from the Bahrain Airport to the tree of life is about 48- 54 minutes (of course, not including any tasks along the way.) Interestingly enough there are 3 routes they could take. The most eastern road takes them over water, the others are all inland, so I'd guess they drove along the road that goes over Nabih Salah Island. The road, or at least part of it is called Shakh Jaber A. Al Subah Highway.

It looks like there are about 18 flights a day from Dubai to Bahrain, and visa versa. Flights are about one hour 15 minutes long. Back in Dubai of course, there are so many flights out to everywhere that even if you only look at the east bound flights, they could go almost anywhere.
I don't think we have a confirmed arrival flight in Dubai, or at least not a live sighting. ?? But with the race in Bahrain photos yesterday, I doubt they started the leg in Dubai, then caught the 95 minute flight to Bahrain to continue the leg, but it's slightly possible I guess.
I'm just trying to think of an answer for the "team didn't make it to" in Bahrain, given the number of flights out. The lost passport idea idea seems possible, but if they were only connecting flights and no tasks? That could mean losing it somewhere in the airport in Dubai? I suppose something could have happened in Africa as well, but with that wording, if they are correct, it doesn't sound like an injury.
So, any ideas where that water / dive / questions task was? Of course the airport is practically surrounded by water, so they could have done it there and driven any of the 3 routes to the Tree of Life, or gone to the western side, and then back for the drive to ToL.
ETA the Bahrain Yacht Club is at Sitra (that eastern road) and they have all kinds of activities there, kayaking, diving, so it might be a place TAR could arrange a "walk the plank." Just looking for possible locations and routes.
