EP9 Title:Do you Know how much Running I Did today, Phil?
Boingo:
Just reviewed the tape of MoJo leaving Perth Airport, and the clock on the wall by the Avis counter near the cabs said 6:20, as best as I can see. That means either the flight was delayed or it took about an hour to clear customs/immigration. No wonder they missed the last ferry to Rottnest.
Also, I thought the taxi driver said it was one and a half hours to get to Fremantle Harbour from the war memorial. Damn, traffic is a nightmare during rush hour in Perth.
gator27:
How about the curve ball the producers sent us with a 24 hr pit stop? :doh: Has TAR ever had a pit stop that was not 12 or 36 hr?
Neobie:
There were a few (like the first one in TAR8 and the second Botswana leg in TAR7) that were timed to allow teams to depart in daylight hours. Not sure about the reason for this though. To make them get stuck with the king?
Jeffrey Scott:
How do you know how long a pit-stop is? And for you detectives out there, is there any way to determine how late a person arrives at the mat?
I wish that during check-in TAR would show what time they arrive.
woden:
That was a strange timing -- maybe they wanted to do 36 but it wouldn't have worked out with flights? Not a ton of planes from Muscat to Perth...
Looks like we were right on with the dates of filming at this point -- leaving Oman on 11/22. From here on out, I am pretty confident of our dates... also, as to someone's earlier post, I think the Woodside building thing was just an onlooker who happened to see them run past the building, not the site for a task.
