It looks like R&K's pants are detachable and they are wearing the same pants in #17 and #11, just without the legs in #11.

I think #11 has them running to the cluebox after a place has opened (that's what caused the bunch) and then, #14 is where R&A go next.  I see a clue in Rob's left hand.  They are wearing the same clothes as in #11.

I would guess that Amber takes off the sweat pants and top to do the water jump.  We see Rob carrying her extra clothes during the piggyback clip.

I can't find it in the link.

This could mean that U&J have their flight begging problem at San Juan.

If so then they would not be on the direct 10:35 am AA1550 flight. Because they arrived at 10:05 am, no way to make a 10:35 flight if there are hangups. And Raceygirl did not see any teams on her 12:55 pm flight.

The next best flight is the 2:41 pm departing AA 1236 that I think R&K got on.

The bauxite mine (probably the tall white building) has shafts that run down the mountains on conveyors to get the ore down to bay area in Ocho Rios. I am sure that shaft/conveyor is what they are jumping from. A bridge would have some sort of road surface and I do not see that. You can see where there is that platform thing, sticking out at the level they are jumping.

One heck of a roadblock.


Sorry no pics to back this up, looked for quite a while, but I did find reference to the conveyors on an ATV site, Ocho Rios.

Slowly, he tilted his head upward toward the long, dark arm of the conveyor belt. He shifted his gaze to the abandoned bauxite mine at one end and then to the battered brick building at the other. Without thinking or even looking, he started down the gently sloping drive toward the Reynolds Pier, straining to take in all of the 'familiar' scene. Incredibly, the brick building now before him was the identical twin of the one from which he had escaped so long ago. In fact, the whole installation seemed as familiar as the little Chelsea Square he was pleased to call his home.

Willing himself back to the present, Bond approached the amenable guard and spoke to him briefly in standard English. No money changed hands and the Jamaican waved him through for a closer inspection of the pier. Gawping like a tourist in Piccadilly, Bond slowly made his way to the end of the pier. The two cranes were still there, towering above the pier, as were the socks that formed the end of the twin conveyor belts. How much bauxite had passed through those socks and into the waiting holds of the Reynolds Aluminium ships?

“Live and Let Die” and a large bauxite mine and pier. I’m still trying to discover if this was the location used as the exterior of Dr No’s lair in that Bond film (which was filmed in the Ocho Rios area) but I haven’t been able to nail it down. It looked similar but I imagine all bauxite mines look about the same (except to other bauxite mines).

Reynolds Pier

about that:
Hi everybody,
I usually post at Sucks. I am originally from Puerto Rico (living in the US now). I just wanted to confirm that the U/J pics in an airport with big white or shiny silver columns are in the San Juan airport.
There is also a picture of R/A running towards an exit with their backpacks. This seems to me like the baggage claim area so it could be when they are arriving to the island.
I've never seem that bridge structure where they seem to be bungee jumping in PR.
That's all I have for now.
Good discussion!

PS: Yes, we do have Fire hoses without spanish subtitles at the San Juan aiport.  :)

Edited to add: Upon closer examination, I think that the R/A pics are actually at the ticket counter area. They are running towards the gates/security checkpoint. This is actually about 30 feet from where RaceyGirl took a pic of Ron.

U/J pics by the fire hose are definitely inside the terminal, probably by the gate anxiously waiting to get on a flight.
