EP6: "I'm Sick Of Doing Stuff I Can't Do "
gingerman28:
This orange lettering is very hard for me to read; hope you go back to b&w soon. Can anyone explain why we have all six vans neatly lined up on a paved parking area somewhere, and why all six teams are running toward the camera together? Is this the parking area for the poas volcano visitors center? And who lined the vans up so neatly (backed into marked parking slots)?
Don't see the teams taking a 16 hour bus trip, and certainly the producers would not let them drive along the Pan American Highway at night - was not allowed for safety/security reasons when I was there and it certainly isn't any safer today. If a bus left at midnight it would not arrive until 4PM and this does not match our early morniong idea for the Roadblock. But let's say they do take a bus leaving around 8AM, then the bus would arrive in San Jose around midnight, so maybe those night shots of the Paolos and others are after they arrive in San Jose and not before they leave in Panama.

Since the google earth won't let us get a clear view of the Poas Volcano area Gman ..can't be sure but the clothing that the teams are wearing fits with the Poa -Vol area .. why are the vans backed in ? TPTB ? If im in a hurry I would pull in and also ..they are so conveniently neatly lined up ..{l{ also the directions leaving Poa Volcano Park leads to Sarchi .. home of the painted ox-carts ,and then to the Doka Estates .

Supsandalee makes a good point about the travel options to San Jose.
But, the sisters are shown begging for 40 dollars.
The bus web site http://www.ticabus.com/ing_rutas_horarios_panama.html lists a fare of 25 dollars per person.
This web site http://www.worldheadquarters.com/panama/arrival/ says that it costs around 10 dollars per person to get to or from the airport
--- Quote ---If you share a taxi with others the prices is reduced per person. There are also small vans that take between 3-7 passengers, and they charge about $10.00 per person.
--- End quote ---
My guess is that they are begging for money to get to the airport so they can fly to Costa Rica.
