HELSINKI, FINLAND
Teams must travel more than 6,000 miles to Helsinki, Finland.
From there, they must find a coffee shop named "Kappeli", then
log-on to AOL using one of the marked laptops to discover a
surprise in their e-mail.
Due to limited availability of flights out of Madagascar, teams
are being provided tickets to Paris, France, where they must
make their own arrangements to connect to Helsinki. However,
they are under no obligation to use these tickets.
All of the teams then fly to Johannesburg, South Africa where
they'll each connect to Helsinki by Addis Ababa, Ethiopia and
Frankfurt, Germany.
Tyler and James find the coffee shop and after logging on to
AOL, Tyler gets a video message from his mother and James gets a
message from his sisters. Kandice gets a video message from her
mother and Dustin gets hers from her family. These message cause
some of the teams to get emotional. In addition each of those
V-Mail messages they're told to get the next clue from the
coffee shop's owner.
