TAR 37 Maps

<< < (3/4) > >>

Neobie:
Leg 7: Sofia Province in Bulgaria
- Carson/Jack found their bearings at Motel Ihtiman in the town of Ihtiman, meaning their trip to Negushevo took 139km/87mi instead of 35km/22mi
- Google Maps says this would have taken them "only" an hour extra (if they didn't get lost further), instead of the three hours that Carson/Jack assumed
- The "altar" for the kukeri offering looks like it was in someone's backyard; it wasn't a landmark labelled on Google
- Sharp-eyed teams may have spotted the W-Turn driving into Sarantsi if they approached from the right angle
- In Woodstack, teams had to carry the wood for 275m/300yd one-way
- Redditor u/KontosIN found the hay stacks visible on Google imagery here

Neobie:
Leg 8: Sofia.

Jonathan/Ana made a series of mistakes trying to get from Sofia University to the Museum of Socialist Art:
- Bus 1 does go to the Museum, but doesn't pass by Sofia University
- Instead, Jonathan/Ana jump onto Trolleybus 1, which goes a completely different route
- They jump on the trolleybus, which takes them further away from the Museum
- They're told to get off after three stops, and start wandering around for 1km/1200yd, back to where they started at the University
- They get directions standing at the entrance to St Kliment Ohridski Station, which has a direct metro service to the Museum
- However, they forego the metro and instead walk a further 240m/260yd to take Bus 280 (right back outside of Lake Ariana), which Carson/Jack and Han/Holden eventually take as well

Other trivia for the leg:
- It was a pretty long trek for Brett/Mark from Lake Ariana to the klek shop on foot: 2.5km/1.5mi if they don't make a wrong turn
- Lots of doubling back on this leg; teams paying attention might have an advantage on the way back
- There's a slight shortcut from the Central Military Club to the Pit Stop which would have teams coming in from behind Phil (280m/310yd instead of 430m/470yd), but only Erika/Melinda found it (kind of, they took a separate detour on the way to the Cathedral)

Neobie:
Leg 9: Naples
- While heading to the Pulcinella, Han/Holden and Jonathan/Ana miss an important turn into Port'Alba (it's a covered arcade that doesn't look like a street for a short stretch), sending them off-course for about 1km/1100yd before they finally ask for directions again.
- The mandolin was closer to the grocery delivery than the mozzarella task, meaning Jonathan/Ana saved 800m/900yd over the other teams, helping them catapult back into the lead.

Neobie:
Leg 10: Alsace
- Brett/Mark mentioned in an exit interview that their train was delayed (yay Deutsche Bahn) and they had to spend the night in a "border town" (Edit: This should be Offenburg, just across the border from Strasbourg)
- It's not difficult getting to Scherwiller, but teams choosing For the Birds would have had a harder time navigating to the task location than those choosing Out to Dry, which was located in the centre of town
- It is extremely complicated getting to the Pit Stop without a map on hand, with many paths seemingly headed in the right direction but ending in a dead-end; no wonder everyone got lost!
- Brett/Mark are shown to drive into a "no entry" lane on their way to the Pit Stop, reserved for authorised vehicles and bicycles only

Neobie:
Slight correction: We see teams on the SWEG train getting into Strasbourg, which matches up with the first RS4 train running from Offenburg (via Kehl, 06:35-07:04). So teams must have spent the night either in Offenburg (more likely, with a mainline station) or Kehl.

Separately, jumping back to Leg 9: Teams had their Pit Stop interviews in Villa Porfidia in Recale, a good 34km/21mi away from the Pit Stop in Naples. (If we trust the Expedia booking scenes, teams stayed at the Hotel Romeo in Naples.)
