MY TEAM WAS 2ND BUT STILL STRONG!!!!

LEG 10 -BUDAPEST

It was a leg boring yet exciting race last Thursday.


First clue:
Teams must now take a train and head to Budapest, the capital city of Hungary. Their next clue is at the Keleti Train Station.

Rov & Marc purchased a direct train to Budapest leaving at 7:30am.
The other teams also did the same except the gay buddies from Singapore I mean gym buddies.
Adrienne & Colleen searched online and found an early train leaving at 5am connecting Vienna first.
To their surprise, no one else discovers the existence of the earlier train.

I love this comment from Rovilson when they found out that A&C were missing in the station that they caught an early train: "They are so far ahead, they are in Season 3 now,"

Luckily, the remaining four teams manage to get on board the 7.30am train and travel 443km to Hungary.


NEXT CLUE:
make way to Batthyany Square, located across from the Hungarian Parliament Building. The square is named after Lajos Batthyany, the first Prime Minister of Hungary.
At the marker, the next clue points teams towards their car and teams must drive to Magyar Farm, located 20km outside Budapest.

Leading team was from Singapore.

The others teams arrived now. Paula & Vanessa was shocked to see a manual car. She doesn't like driving it manually.


DETOUR.
Teams must pick either Pitch or Pull. In Pitch, teams must load a donkey cart full of hay using a pitch fork. They must then deliver it to a farmer for their next clue. In Pull, teams must pick a goat and milk 200ml of fresh milk from it, before receiving their next clue.



The gay buddies Imean the gym buddies did the Pitch. Still in 1st place.

The other teams arrived later
Ann & Diane picked Pull first but had a hard time milking the goat.
Next to arrive was Paula & Tasha and chose Pitch.
To my surprise Rov & Marc just arrived.
They are in 4th place now. I was nervous that day watching them behind the pack.





Due to their vehicular problems, the last to get to the farm were Pamela and Vanessa. They chose Pitch.



NEXT CLUE:
Teams must drive themselves to the Fun Extreme Canopy, which specializes in Flying Fox trails. In this roadblock, one team member must complete the multiple sections of the Flying Fox course, and add up the numbers located at each location. Getting the correct total of 1,000 will award the team with their next clue.



First on the RB.
Adrienne: First try was wrong but he was right on his 2nd attempt.

Second on the RB was Natasha but she was wrong on her 1st attempt.
So Dianne was now prepared to do the task but realized hat Ann has left with the car. According to the rules, both teammates must be present to begin the Roadblock. With no inkling where Ann is, Diane has no choice but to let Marc and Rovilson take the plunge first.

On Marc's first attempt he was correct and now they are team #2.
Isn't it amazing to hear?

So Dianne was next and she was wrong. Tasha now on her 2nd attempt and she finally had a correct answer. Last in the RB was the Malaysian siblings. Pam did it twice too.


NEXT CLUE:
Teams must now find the actual location of the Hercules Fountain, whose image is found on the 1,000 Hungarian forint note. The fountain itself is located in the Castle of Visegrad.

All teams had difficulty in finding the castle.

LAST CLUE”
Teams must now drive to the next pitstop, at Salamon Tower. This will be the 10th pitstop of the race. However, one very important aspect of this task is that teams must find a specially marked entrance, and must park their car in the marked area as well before proceeding to the pitstop.





First team to arrive :Adrienne & Colleen but Allan told them that they have to leave the car in the marked area so they must head back down and find the correct entrance. Anyway the editing was deceiving they were trying to show that it was a neck to neck race between A&C vs M&R.
Anyway FINAL STANDINGS:

1ST PLACE: ADRIENNE & COLEEN ( still boring)
2ND PLACE : MARC & ROV ( I love the stealth mode at the pit stop)
3RD PLACE: PAM & VAN (we saw a panicky Vanessa in the car)
4TH PLACE : THE DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES ( I still hate them)
LAST PLACE BUT SAFE: PAULA & TASHA



The good news is that was a non-elimination round. The bad news is, Paula and Natasha must come in first in the next round, or face a 30 minute time penalty.
