They are driving to the airport from the pitstop in Germany ,
Lake ( voice dubbed while driving , his mouth doesn't move) :Michele is navagating , she still has a little room to grow there.
Michele ( backseat talking ): its good to get out infront of people even alittle bit or being in first
Lake ( on building confessional ):I think Michele could be better mentally ,theres been a time or two where shes been right and theres been three or four times that I've been right I'm still the leader of this team.
( Nice Boingo!! )

If Camera di Commercio is the pitstop (white arrow), then it's not far away from the kayak roadblock (green arrow).
Edited to add: More likely, however, given the preference of TPTB to use local monuments as pitstops, another possible candidate for pitstop could be Castello Maniace, a little further from the roadblock, at the very tip of the peninsula. But we have no vidcaps to back up this guess, whatsoever.

If the arrow points to where Lake is standing, is that the roof of a building or a parking lot. If it is at ground level, it would not be possible to get the shot of Lake with the top of the building even with his head. He must be on top of some structure to get the shot shown. In the other shot of the Camera di Commercio it looks like a piazza is in front of the building.

Google sure is a lot of fun, RJ. You can usually Google the addresses in a search engine and later find the street name on Google Earth. Try checking the little box at the bottom of GE that says "Roads", and the street names may overlay on the GE picture. After that it's just hit and miss, and hours and hours of mind numbing searching. :lol:
