Celebrity Race Across the World - Season 2
 

Anyone watching.
“From the Amazon to the Andes” which doesn’t mean much given parts of the Andes are next to the Amazon.
Anyway I got excited because they are starting in Belem, and I love that city.

Half the check points are in Brazil so now I’m definitely excited. Best country in the world for travelling.

Yes I'm watching it.

My dad lived there for quite some time. He loved it.

Belem - Sao Luiz - Lençóis Maranhenses - Jericoacoara - Fortaleza
Is the only correct way to do this route

Not much public transport there.

Yes my time living in Rio is a highlight of my life.

Yes in the north it can be limited but there is always good bus connections between big cities.

My route would require traveling in the back of a truck for part of the trip

Awww the Brazilians are so lovely.
Funny they have no idea what they are telling them

Wow that's amazing!

Jeff and Fred are lost :laugh:

I don’t know why the cousins aren’t taking a truck to Parnaiba. It’s such a direct route. And can get a bus from there direct to Fortaleza.
Mustn’t be allowed for safety reason.

And getting out all his dollar in the bus station. They are defo gonna get robbed lol

Kelly is at the first checkpoint!

Enjoyable so far.
I reckon there will be a few sparks flying before long.

I'm watching season one now. Don't think I've seen it :laugh:

As in actual season 1 - London to Singapore? Loved that season.

Just caught up with the new celebrity one. I really can’t gel to the guy from Ted Lasso. Even prefer his cousin over him so far. :laugh:

Yes it's on the iPlayer.

:love:

Salvador is proper dangerous. They better be careful.

The sunset from Barra was spectacular though.

Also worth going to beach at Barra, small, packed and not so clean, but the vibe is super cool.

Spent a day is Brasilia before. Such a great city to visit, so much interesting architecture and lovely to have beers by the lake with the capybaras

Got to go Rio. Most amazing city on this planet. Got to be dumb to skip it.

So stupid to go in land when you’re lucky if there’s a bus a day. Much better idea to go to the coast and do overnight buses all the way down the coast. Enjoy the cities and the beaches during the day and then have your pick of the 50 buses that go down the coast at night
