We are here outside at the road waiting for a taxi... Its freaking hailing hard... We cant find taxis then i saw Charisse n Rochelle coming out of the mini-castle... The Celeste n MArio...

We waited like 30 minutes until one taxi came...

We jumped on the car leaving the two teams behind...

Everything is a mess... The taxi moves slowly and the road visibility is highly dangerous... ITs wet and hard to see until we reached the airport...

As we enter the airport, we saw other teams in despair...

At least the weather is not bad as it was a while ago...

We made our way to the counter and i asked... "Can you give us the fastest flight to Tirana Albania..."

The counter lady said... "Sorry, all flights are delayed... But i can give you a flight on Sofia to Tirana on Hemus air..."

"What time will it arrive Tirana... " Chris asked...

"Air Bulgaria will depart Varna to Sofia at 7:00am and arrives at 7:50am same day..." She said. "Then from Sofia to Tirana on Hemus air will depart 8:00am and arrives at 10:00am... "

"Can we book taht'?

"Yes, "she said... "YOur friends booked via Sofia-Rome... you will be arriving earlier..."

"Really", said Chris... "This is so cool... Please dont tell it to anyone around here esp[ecially to our FRIENDS... Please"

The conter lady somehow agreed. I want to tell it to Shiela n Armand but Chris insisted not to... Ok 1 hour before we depart and we are going to be first this time...

7:00 am
Air bulgaria is now taking off... Inside are Only us Chris and Charisse n Rochelle...

We are now departing from Varna to Tirana via Sofia...

10:00 am
Tirana Albania...

We dropped off the airport and ran to get a taxi...

"To Skendergeb Statue please..."

"Fast Fast!!"

After 30 minutes drive we got on to the statue

Ok there is our clue... fast please fast..

Ok... "Drive one of the marked cars and make your way to Lake Butrint..."

Ok... Ill drive.. i said

Cool Mercedes Benz here huh...

11:45 am

Ok we are here...

Wow its beautiful here...

ok Read the Clue...

DETOUR: ROW IT or ROCK IT

Row It...
Paddle your way to three marked bouys on the lake but only one is the right clue... Distance between each bouy is about a mile n a half...

Rock it...
MAke your way an additional mile to this ruins... And start searching for three clusters of clues... Only one cluster has the real ruote info... other clusters instructs to try again...

So what will we choose...?

How can your story be corrupted? Like, it doesn't work? Does it contradict itself? I don't know what you mean. But, if something bad happened to one of my stories, I'd re-write it.

"OK, what should we piCk?" I asked

"Lets do Row It!"

"Ok"

We ran to the doCk and grab a boat.

We paddled and paddled almost a mile that our arms are so hurting

As we started rowing to the middle buoy, whiCh we presume that it is a luCky thing, we started rowing and rowing for almost a mile and then reaChing the buoy, I read, "Congratulations!..."

We are so freaking glad I gave xrd a five

"Drive yourselves baCk to Tirana and make your way to Lana River, your Clue is waiting on the bridge"

We paddled baCk to the shore and jump behind wheels. " drive the Car.

We saw Charisse n RoChelle doing the RoCk It task. I think they are having a bad time searChing for the right Cluster. But still I want ot see the majestiC ruins

We drive like very long mile baCk to Tirana, along the way wesaw beautiful plaCes like
Saranda

2:53pm
"Ok, we are here" I said

We jumped off the Car and made our way to the bridge. Chris reaped the Clue and read,

ROADBLOCK: Who Can go with the flow?

"You do!" I said. "I've been doing three straight roadbloCks now its your turn There are two more, promise me that!"

"Ok, promise!" Chris replied. The latter Clue was opened "Paddle your way to the next bridge one mile then get the Clue. Return to your partner and make your way to your next destination." He went down and put his life suit on. He started rowing.

At first it was easy towards the bridge Coz the Current is brings him. But in his way baCk, I see its diffiCult. The Current is against him. It took almost 20 minutes paddling. Then when Chris is just a quarter mile more, Charisse n RoChelle Came in. Charisse did her turn and started paddling.

Finally Chris reaChed onto me. I read the Clue "Make your way to the pit stop, the City Centre in Tirana."

Ok, we jumped baCk to the Car and made our way to the City Center

"I notiCed that Albanians have something to work on in mixing Colors" I said

"Yeah notiCed that too" Chris uttered.

"Ok, I saw Phil"

We get off the Car and started running.

Phil said our names
"You are team no 1!"

We are so glad to what have been the out come!!!

And as the winner of the 5th leg of the race, Phil added, you won for yourselves a trip to Europe, courtesy of AAA.com which you can enjoy after the race!

Now it is our turn to be first all the way! Better watch out!

YES! You finally win! I thought you'd be in last because I think of Rochelle and Charisse as a low-level team.

Finally, first time in first place!!!

As all teams are here, and Rey n Arlyn are having no money and no bags next leg, its a very beautiful day here at Tirana.

We will spend the night here at the city center so it means me and Sheila and Albania: P.

As other teams are having their xhiros, me and Sheila are having our own.

And it was romantic and very beautiful.

5:02am
The time to get off the mat for us 1ST team to depart to other destination. Chris reaped the clue and I read, Fly yourselves to the country of Cyprus and make your way to the city of Nicosia Nice we are going Cyprus!!!... You will get your next clue at the front of the statue at the Archbishops Palace

Ok nice, we are going Cyprus... I continued reading, You have 2 dollars for the next leg of the race?

What? 2 dollars? How come?

Chris drove the car and made our way to the airport

I still cannot believe it that we have only two dollars on our hand Well we have excess money like 12 dollars left so no problems with that! Chris is good in money budgeting, since hes older than me like one year, he should know how

We finally arrived here at the airport.

We try talking to one of the possible flights available

What is the fastest flight available to Nicosia?

There is no available flight to Nicosia But I can get you to Laranca?

Are there any flights that can get us to Nicosia are you sure?

There is no flight status at Nicosia, only on Laranca, Jat Airways, connects to Rome
What time will get there? I asked

Plane will depart 11:00 am and will arrive Rome at 2:30pm same day Rome flight will then switch to Air France that will depart 5:00pm and will arrive Cyprus at 10:00 at night

Its so late at night Chris said are you sure its the fastest one?

It is! said the counter girl That is the only flight available the next two days to Cyprus

So no choice but book the thing

As the time has passed, all teams are now at the same flight. And it sucks. Now I know how it feels to be in first place then back to zero!

Along the flight, me n Chris are having this very private conversation

Chris, what is your fathers name? I asked Chris as I know I have a father with the name the same also as Chriss

He was quiet

Then he spoke up Dave, Dave Almonte

What? I said to myself This cannot be My dads name is David Almonte too But maybe its just a coincidence. I guess it is I just kept quiet

Why? asked Chris

Nothing I whispered nothing.

10:00pm
Laranca, Cyprus

We ran out and have a train to Nicosia, all teams board the train.

10:45pm
We arrived at Nicosia and got a taxi

We made our way to the statue And when we arrived at the statue

Hours of Operation: 0800-1900

Its closed, I said. Chris lets get a hotel

The whole night, I am thinking Would it be coincidence me and Chris has the same fathers name? Since birth Chris didnt see his dad, because his dad had other woman one year after his birth I am confused From the airport to Cyprus, I am confused Its just a coincidence, just a coincidence

8:00am
Archbishop's Palace, Nicosia Cyprus

We ran outside and read the clue...
"Have a train ride to the city of Limassol, and find the marked area at the Troodos Mountains. Caution: Yield ahead..."

We ran out and dashed to the taxi. Now our main goal is to keep ahead because we dont want to be in the yield pad again. WE took of everybody trailing except for Lovers Avi n Noel. I think Avi n Noel wont Yield us, they are our best alliance here... And a threat to everybody too...

All along the way to Limassol, I kept quiet for the Father's name thingy... I am confused. Since me and Chris become friends 5 years back, i have no thought of asking what's Chris's father's name is, and now i know, I am really confused. If we are brothers, I would be very shocked and at the same time, scared... Scared that Chris will be have some deep anger because if it wasnt for mom, Chris's family would have been complete - then he might have seen his father before he died...

Well is my father is also Chris's father...

10:32am

"Here we are" Chris said.

We jumped off same time as Avi n Noel arrived...

We got on to the Yield pad first...

"We decided not to Yield anyone!" Chris said...

And then we made our way to the cluebox and gab stab no. 1...

ROADBLOCK: WHO IS THE REAL RALLY RACER?

"My turn!" Chris said...

I didnt speak up! "YOu go!"

We read the latter clue, "Ride to one of the rally f1 cars with a professional driver to complete a 5-mile course. Each person will have their turn every 10 minutes..."

Damn it, i said to myself... I love cars and now its Chris's turn to have his... Shoot...

We ran down to the rally cars and Chris started putting uniforms... I wish i am in that uniform...

Then the car took off...

It looks fun... I envy him...

Now only thing is to wait for him to come...

After the roadblock is done, Chris got the clue and read, "Make your way to the city of Farmagusta and find the FArmagusta gate, there you will get your next clue...

We got back to our own taxi, and made uor way to the gate...

2:34pm
Farmagusta... Ok we are here...

We ripped the clue and got to read it...

DETOUR: COINS or SHADOWS

COINS: You will be given a coin and find the identical coin from the thousands of coins from Cyprus's history up to current currency...

SHADOWS: YOu will have a picture of a puppet in silhouette and find the identical from the big white screen full of thousands of shadows...

After seeing the idential shadow, they must go at the other side of the screen and get the puppet for the exchage of the clue. If the puppeteer found its not identical, you must try again.

Note, person to first pose the choice will have the character's choice...

This is a really hard choice! Let's see...
Coins and Shadows both need good observation and both have thousands to choose from. One you must chose from small objects and one you must choose from larger objects. Hmm, I'd go with Shadows.
