Into Incredible India

We finally raced back into India, which is definitely one of the most visual stunning places in the world.  No matter where you are in this vast country, there will always be something new for you to see.  Everyone is always ready to stop for a photo...Even the elephants are more than prepared to shake your hand...Of course, the five remaining teams were too busy trying to complete this leg of the race with the Detour we threw them...Lugging the 20kg fish to the designated location was no easy feat, but it was probably easier than having to fill in the geometric column design.  The Detour in this leg proved to be critical because the race was down to two teams trying to hold on to the last place to stay in the race.  Hong Kong team Sam and Vince and Malaysia team Bernie and Henry both chose to take a flight that ultimately left them arriving later than the rest of the teams so it came down to choosing carefully which Detour could be completed the quickest.  Sam and Vince chose wisely with carrying the fish while Henry and Bernie chose to do some coloring, which required a lot of skill and accuracy.  With Vince transporting two fish at a time, the Hong Kong team was able to reach the pit stop before Bernie and Henry.  At our pit stop here in Cochin, India, we had one of our coolest greeters ever.  Wouldn't that be one cool costume for Halloween? Even getting his microphone on was a challenge...Once he was all "mic-ed" up and ready to greet, it was time to get set for the arrival of the five remaining teams....or at least our greeter could sit down and wait while the teams are making their way over to us.  And what was I up to?It was time to take it to the air...even if we wouldn't be flying for at least a few hours laterWhile one of our crew was really sad over the elimination of Bernie and Henry, I was really happy to wrap up another leg in the race... And when the day's fun is all done, it's time once again to race off to the airport to prepare for the teams to start the next legC ya again next week!
