GERMAN LUCK FOR THE PINOYS!

Surprise surprise surprise!!!
The teams left the Asian continent and flew to Germany!!!!

Rovilson quipped, "I never knew Germany was part of Asia."
Ha ha ha nice one!

This is the first time that they have an airport drama.
Teams were scrambling to get the earliest flight.
Luckily, Rovimarc got the first direct flight.


Back at the last pitstop, Henry and Terri left but had no money for a taxi to the airport. Instead, they took the bus using donations from the other teams. How sweet!

I love this comment from Natasha:
Natasha: "Hopefully, they are okay still, and not tearing each other's hair out," "He doesn't have any hair left, so...."

An alliance was formed from three teams Paula, Natasha, Pamela, Vanessa, Marc and Rovilson all agreed to work together to take out their most hated team the dancing mothers.

Natasha and Paula were on another flight. Vanessa, Pamela, Adrian, Collin, Ann and Diane were on the third flight

As for Henry and Terri, they arrived too late and became the last team to leave.

Upon arrival, teams head to the Old Opera House and are surprised by their next clue.

Next clue in Germany:
They must now take a train and head for the Czech Republic and into the capital of Prague, better known as the City of 100 Spires. Teams must locate the 15th century Charles Bridge, which crosses the Vltava River, for their next clue.

Unfortunately for our Phil team who arrived first. They discovered that the next available train was the 11.38pm night train.
Equalized again!

What’s amazing was Rovimarc spent their remaining hours in a nearby bar and started to pole dance to spare some cash. Wise move guys! Actually, the ladies enjoyed them. One fat lady even grabbed his butt naked.



NEXT CLUE:
Teams must now locate a holey statue which will point them to the next clue. Of course, with several statues on the bridge pointing in various directions, the task is easier said than done.

Teams were confused about the holey statue. Holy or holey?
Luckily, Rovimarc found the clue hidden inside a hole of statue so fast.
They were leading again.

Unfortunately some teams were still roaming the place for two hours and still had no idea about the hidden clue.

Next CLUE:
Teams must now make their way to a puppet shop in Karlova Street to get their next clue.

However the shop opens at 11 am so all the teams who caught up were equalized again.

Next CLUE:
Teams must make their way to the Kinsky Palace at the Old Town Square for next clue.

ROADBLOCK:
oNE person must don a Knight's armour and locate a damsel in distress. They will then exchange a key for a clue.

Marc, Paula, Adrian and Ann all wore the armour.. The ladies had some difficulty walking in the clunky metal suits.


Marc was so fast he found the damsel so quickly but followed barely by Adrian.

Next CLUE:
They must now travel 30km outside Prague by train, to the town square of Beroun. At the train station, they will take a marked car and drive to the town square where they must find a local with a Nokia phone that has their team picture on it. They must then play the video on the phone to get their next clue.


Marc and Rovilson boarded the train to Beroun and were a little disappointed to see Collin, Adrian, Ann and Diane come on board after them


Back at the Roadblock, Vanessa chose to save the damsel. At the bridge, Henry and Terri arrived and even though they were standing next to the statue, they failed to notice its significance and started heading off to find the statue.
Later on they found it.

Arriving at the town square, Marc, Rovilson, Adrian and Collin started asking random people to see their phone, hoping to pick the one person who has their picture on the phone.

Marc eventually located the right person with the phone and upon playing the video, received a nice surprise. They watched the clip from his friend and Rovi’s mom.
The other teams got their clips too.

Next clue: DETOUR
Blow or Bow.
In Blow, teams must head to a glass factory and cut a design at the bottom of a glass cup. In Bow, tams must use a traditional crossbow and hit a bullseye target.


The guys picked Bow, while the moms picked Blow. Coz they guessed that they are good in “blowing” Ha ha ha!. But later, the desperate housewives decided that they would have better luck at Bow.

Photobucket

At the Bow task, the four guys arrived at the same time, which raised the stake a little.
God I was so nervous watching the pressure from my fav team coz the boring gym buddies were catching up so fast.

Photobucket

Luckily again, RoviMarc completed the task first and got the next clue:
Teams must now travel to Karlstejn Castle, a Gothic castle that was previously used to safe keep coronation jewels and other relics. This will be the 8th pitstop of the race.

Photobucket

The gym buddies just finished their task too.
So it’s a race between the alpha males again.

Meanwhile, Paula and Natasha got to the glass factory and had some difficulty in cutting the design on the base of the glass cup. Eventually, they succeeded and received the next clue too.


CASTLE WAITING
Teams must now travel to Karlstejn Castle, a Gothic castle that was previously used to safe keep coronation jewels and other relics. This will be the 8th pitstop of the race.
