--- Quote from: CoriSanchi on November 18, 2020, 11:20:22 AM ---Just some speculation about what the route could have been. This is based off of an interview from Bertram in which he said they were going to South America, Vietnam, and Austria, and from a crew member that contracted COVID who said they were going into northern Europe and near Italy.

United States --> London, England

London, England --> Glasgow, Scotland

Glasgow, Scotland

Glasgow, Scotland --> Riga, Latvia

Riga, Latvia --> Vienna, Austria

Vienna, Austria --> Nha Trang, Vietnam

Nha Trang, Vietnam

Nha Trang, Vietnam --> Wellington, New Zealand

Wellington, New Zealand --> Melbourne, Australia

Melbourne, Australia --> Montevideo, Uruguay

Montevideo, Uruguay --> Sucre, Bolivia

Sucre, Bolivia --> Indianapolis, Indiana

I'm most surprised by Indianapolis. The only relatively creative task that I can see happening there is another racetrack task (Indy 500) and we just had one at the Chicagoland Speedway. I'd be curious to know what they were planning on doing there.

Most of these are guesses including Indianapolis. We know about London/Glasgow, Sweden was next. Austria/Vietnam and South America were dropped by BVM in an interview. That's all is known.

Yes, it’s guesses/speculation. Should’ve clarified better. I’m speculating what the original route could’ve been based off of interviews and such. Going off of patterns from the past few seasons such as visiting countries with only one prior visit (i.e, Iceland, Belgium, Zimbabwe, Croatia, Paraguay, Kazakhstan) + a new final leg destination. Indianapolis was more wish listy than true speculation but the other countries/cities are my educated guesses

Vietnam was visited in Season 29 and 31 and 30 visited Chiang Mai so I think they would have skipped Indochina.

Bertram said in an interview that he got calls from their Austria and their Vietnam people telling them they were worried about covid, so I took those as confirmed countries. I guessed Nha Trang because that’s a cool city away from the Chinese border that’s not Ho Chi Minh City, which they just visited in 31

claude_24hrs:
Da Nang would be a great option. Central Vietnam hasn't visited since TAR 3 (it was Hue and aforementioned Da Nang).

Does the Vietnam tourism ministry incentivize the show to go there, I wonder? They go there all the time. I'd also think it being cheaper than the other big countries in East Asia is a reason.
