00:02:25character build
00:02:26Before we go into the adult world
00:02:28The only thing the other contestants will have over us is experience

00:02:40Which is good because I don't stress a lot like I should be I was packing my bags until like

00:03:13I'm a lot more laid-back
00:03:15We can't just go. Oh, we'll go here and then we'll see what happens. We could do that
00:03:19We could do that, but that is a possibility. We could be killed
00:03:24My gosh look at the mountain
00:03:26You've got to have some sort of plan in place to reach your final destination. You're not just gonna waltz
00:03:31and end up there
00:03:32We might right okay
00:03:34There you go. That's why it's that's why it might work and it might not work
00:03:38That's so cute
00:03:39Oh, look at the little trinkets. Yeah, no, we're not doing any of this
00:03:43I feel like we need these to kick start morale
00:03:49We've always lived at home together and we do everything together pubs football
00:03:53Going for a dance, going for a sing. We love going for a sing. Yeah. Oh wow, look at that
00:03:59Oh, yeah, wow
00:04:01Throughout our whole lives, we've always been there for each other
00:04:05We've lived in 14 different homes, which is quite tough
00:04:09But we've always been the one constant in each other's life, so I say
00:04:13I'm yet to see a custard cream one thing who needs a custard cream and you have cannolis
00:04:18Yes, yeah, not custard cream though

00:04:31Yeah, of course
00:04:32This is for you
00:04:34Are you having that?
00:04:36Uh, you should probably take that
00:04:38Okay, yeah
00:04:38Equipped only with a gps tracker and a world map

00:04:46Arrivederci
00:04:47Arrivederci
00:04:47Thank you
00:04:48Do I need to set them off you as well?
00:04:50Yeah, you probably do
00:04:53Oh, look at this
00:04:54You know, it's all tectonic plates, so this thing has all been crushed together and pushed up
00:04:58I think that's how the island was formed
00:05:00And this is where Kim Kardashian got married
00:05:05Cruising towards the starting line
00:05:07It might bore you being a geography teacher, just shut me up, okay?
00:05:10Oh, yeah
00:05:12Andrew and his eldest daughter, Molly
00:05:15I'd be very good if I have to go to a place a second time
00:05:17I'm very good at remembering where to go
00:05:20So what do you want to do, race around the world twice?
00:05:22My problem twice, can we?
00:05:25We've got the port area, so we must be coming into the land
00:05:29We're from a small town in County Derry
00:05:31Well, everybody knows each other
00:05:33Absolutely everybody knows each other
00:05:34My daddy teaches in the only school in our town
00:05:37It's always, oh, you're Mr Clifford's daughter
00:05:40I'll be Clifford's daughter for the rest of my life
00:05:42Absolutely
00:05:42I hope my love of timetables and bus timetables
00:05:46You are so regimented, oh my goodness, this could be a problem
00:05:50Molly understands how I operate and understands I have a bit of a control freak
00:05:55Yeah, sometimes daddy's a bit like his way or the highway
00:05:58So like, I'm a junior doctor, I'm able to provide antibiotics in a hospital
00:06:02But like, I'm not allowed to promote grass
00:06:04Like, I'm still a child in his eyes
00:06:06You are still a child
00:06:08Buongiorno
00:06:08This is for you
00:06:10Thank you very much
00:06:11Thank you very much
00:06:12Thank you
00:06:14Rosh, look
00:06:15It looks like a cathedral
00:06:16Yeah, it's got a cross on the top
00:06:18Ready to race
00:06:19Trainee anaesthetist Pooja
00:06:21And her cousin
00:06:22Software engineer Roshni
00:06:24How are you feeling?
00:06:26You know when you're about to sit your final exam
00:06:28Yeah
00:06:29And you feel like kind of butterflies in your stomach
00:06:33I feel like this is the biggest exam of our life
00:06:35Do you feel it?
00:06:36Yeah, but I feel like you've prepped quite a bit
00:06:38Like you've been revising for a while
00:06:39I've done an overnight job
00:06:41Our family, everyone is quite conservative
00:06:44Life is predetermined
00:06:46Like we finished university
00:06:47We both have stable jobs
00:06:49The family's like
00:06:50Right now you need to find a husband
00:06:52Even though you've been told not to talk to guys for 25 years of your life
00:06:55Like, go find someone
00:06:56Oh, wow
00:06:59Oh, that's beautiful
00:07:01Now, we just want to scratch this itch we've had for the last five years
00:07:06We want to just see the world and explore
00:07:08Shall we say a prayer?
00:07:10Being in the race, everything's a bit unpredictable
00:07:12And you don't know what's going to get thrown at you
00:07:14So it'd be good to see how we deal with it
00:07:19What are you praying for?
00:07:20To come first
00:07:22I just asked my ankles not to break
00:07:24For both of us
00:07:26Hello, Mo
00:07:27I always wanted to come here
00:07:28I was here last October
00:07:29I cannot believe it
00:07:30Well, you must have an advantage of everyone else
00:07:32Don't get overexcited, Mark
00:07:34No chance
00:07:34Completing the line-up
00:07:36Retired architect, Mark
00:07:38And clinical hypnotherapist, Margot
00:07:40So Mark and I are
00:07:42We are chalk and cheese
00:07:43He's very systemised
00:07:45And I'm very random and chaotic
00:07:47These bags are heavy, aren't they?
00:07:49No
00:07:49Yes, they are
00:07:50No
00:07:50Yes, they are
00:07:51I don't even feel it
00:07:52If I'm perfectly honest
00:07:53For a lot of years
00:07:54I just thought he was boring
00:07:56This is fantastic, isn't it?
00:07:57Oh, my God, yes
00:07:58What scares you the most about the race?
00:08:01Margot
00:08:02That's my first form of transport
00:08:04Good morning, buongiorno
00:08:06Buongiorno
00:08:06Buongiorno, signori
00:08:07I got married to Margot's sister
00:08:10Who I first met 40 years ago
00:08:12It seems a bit mad going with your in-law
00:08:15And sometimes I do go, what am I doing?
00:08:17So do I
00:08:20Oh, my God, look at it
00:08:23This is what we might have had
00:08:25If we hadn't had the Reformation, Margaret
00:08:26Yeah
00:08:27We've had a very typical in-law relationship
00:08:30For like nearly 40 years
00:08:31In that there has been a little bit of friction
00:08:33But we worked with each other
00:08:35Caring for my sister Julia
00:08:37Before she passed
00:08:38Three years ago
00:08:39It was Julia's dying wish
00:08:41That I make friends with Margaret
00:08:43And to build on the friendship
00:08:45Which actually formed
00:08:46During that
00:08:47Both caring for her
00:08:50Goodbye
00:08:51Here is the money
00:08:52That's for me
00:08:53Margot can take that
00:08:54Hello
00:08:55Ciao
00:08:56Ciao
00:08:56Ciao
00:09:01Equipped with the essentials
00:09:02Right, Molly
00:09:03Are you ready for this?
00:09:04Oh, I can't look
00:09:05Time to find out
00:09:06Where the race will take them
00:09:07Your final destination
00:09:09Is Hatsgal
00:09:10I have never, ever heard of Hatsgal
00:09:13I have never heard of Hatsgal
00:09:14Oh, what the hell
00:09:16What if we just don't find it?
00:09:17This is the end of our race
00:09:19Thanks for having us, guys
00:09:21Hatsgal
00:09:21We're going to Mongolia
00:09:23We are going from here
00:09:25To there
00:09:26What the hell
00:09:28That's a lot of distance
00:09:30The finish line
00:09:34Hatsgal
00:09:34On the northern edge of Mongolia
00:09:41To get there
00:09:42Teams will traverse
00:09:43More than 12,000 kilometres
00:09:45Via seven checkpoints
00:09:47At each stop
00:09:49Their next destination
00:09:50Is revealed
00:09:52That is crazy
00:09:53It's so close
00:09:54Crossing eight countries
00:09:56Each border
00:09:57Each border
00:09:57A change of language
00:09:58And culture
00:09:59Oh, my God
00:10:00There's an eagle
00:10:01This is a journey
00:10:02Of extremes
00:10:03From sunny tourist trails
00:10:05And bustling bazaars
00:10:07To subarctic snowscapes
00:10:09To subarctic snowscapes
00:10:09And nomadic worlds
00:10:10Oh, my God
00:10:11You have to see this
00:10:12Good morning
00:10:14They will retrace the Silk Road
00:10:16The trade path forged by centuries of merchants
00:10:19In search of fortune
00:10:21This is an adventure
00:10:23This is an adventure
00:10:24Today, a reward awaits once more
00:10:27Once we made it
00:10:28Every second comes
00:10:30For the first team across the finish line
00:10:33£20,000
00:10:43To reach the finish line
00:10:46£1,297 each
00:10:49The cost of flying the route
00:10:51That is
00:10:53That's not much
00:10:54A very small amount of money
00:10:56What?
00:10:57What is it?
00:11:00£23.16
00:11:01Each per day
00:11:03That is a tight budget
00:11:05I'll just say two for one in Italian
00:11:06That's doable
00:11:09It's doable
00:11:09It's going to have to budget hard
00:11:13In central Palermo
00:11:15Beneath its 12th century cathedral
00:11:17I'm actually really nervous
00:11:19I can't lie
00:11:20Same here
00:11:21The start line
00:11:22This is insane
00:11:26Don't lose me, Mark
00:11:27Here we go
00:11:29Oh, God
00:11:29They're looking fit and young
00:11:31Good to meet Amargo
00:11:32Amargo, I'm Joel
00:11:33I come from Liverpool
00:11:33Oh, no way
00:11:34Whereabouts
00:11:35I'm Mosley Hill
00:11:36I'm from Toxniff
00:11:37No way
00:11:37A scouser's very scouser's there
00:11:38Oh, here we go
00:11:40Oh, I can see them
00:11:42I think their backpacks
00:11:43Are definitely smaller than ours
00:11:44It's a bit warm, isn't it?
00:11:45Just a little bit
00:11:46Ginger, like
00:11:47I'm dying here
00:11:49Hello
00:11:54You all right?
00:11:55No, but
00:11:55All right
00:11:56Whenever you'll be
00:11:58It's the room for two more
00:12:02Hi, how are you?
00:12:04Will we get this thing started?
00:12:05It has to start at some time
00:12:07Good luck, everybody
00:12:08Good luck
00:12:09Good luck
00:12:15We're going to win
00:12:16I just, I believe it fully
00:12:18Like, we are winning this
00:12:20There's no doubt about it in my mind
00:12:22You've got to give it all to win
00:12:24Every little decision matters
00:12:26I think Harrison will take charge
00:12:28Because he's older
00:12:29But I would actually say
00:12:30I'm more street smart
00:12:33We are in it to win it
00:12:34No dirty tricks
00:12:35Or good, honest energy
00:12:37I'm not frightened of taking risks
00:12:39No
00:12:39No, I'm not cautious
00:12:41I'm feeling very confident
00:12:42And very determined
00:12:44That we're going to win
00:12:44We're going to absolutely graft
00:12:46Put in blood, sweat and tears
00:12:48I see a journey
00:12:49I see an opportunity
00:12:51To do things
00:12:52Yeah
00:12:52Never done before
00:13:00Hey, good luck, everyone
00:13:01Good luck
00:13:01Yeah
00:13:03Come on
00:13:05This is it
00:13:07Come on
00:13:09We got this
00:13:10Let's go, let's go
00:13:13Sorry
00:13:13You all right?
00:13:15Yeah
00:13:19Just let me get my breath for a minute
00:13:23Right
00:13:23Let's figure out exactly where we're going
00:13:27First checkpoint
00:13:29Fiskardo
00:13:30I have no idea
00:13:32This is exciting
00:13:33Oh
00:13:34Oh
00:13:35The first checkpoint
00:13:37Fiskardo
00:13:38I know where Fiskardo is
00:13:39To the east
00:13:41In the wine-dark sea
00:13:42Of the Ionian archipelago
00:13:44The Greek village of Fiskardo
00:13:47Situated on the northern tip
00:13:49Of Cephalonia
00:13:50It was once known as
00:13:51Panormos
00:13:52Sheltered harbour
00:13:53Today
00:13:54Flashy yachts
00:13:55And humble fishing boats
00:13:57Float side by side
00:13:58And visitors enjoy
00:13:59Its neighbouring coves
00:14:01Lush forests
00:14:02And the Venetian architecture
00:14:04At its bustling heart
00:14:07We need to find out
00:14:09Where Fiskardo is
00:14:10Because it's not on the map
00:14:11Do you know what, lad?
00:14:13Train station
00:14:13There might be a stop
00:14:14Called Fiskardo
00:14:15Checkpoint
00:14:16We are coming
00:14:19A train to Fiskardo
00:14:21Would be
00:14:21Golden buzzer
00:14:23I don't see
00:14:24I don't see Fiskardo
00:14:25Anywhere
00:14:25I don't know
00:14:26You're not sure?
00:14:28I don't think
00:14:28You can go by
00:14:29Train there
00:14:29I don't think
00:14:30This place exists
00:14:31It's like Narnia
00:14:35Excusey
00:14:35Do you know where Fiskardo is?
00:14:38Oh, it's in Greece?
00:14:40Oh, it's in Greece
00:14:41Oh
00:14:41It seems to be on an island
00:14:43Brilliant
00:14:43Thank you
00:14:44It's the top of Caffalonia
00:14:46We're looking for Fiskardo
00:14:47Oh, it's just above Santi
00:14:49California
00:14:50Yeah, Caffalonia
00:14:51Thank you
00:14:52How are we going to get
00:14:53Off the island
00:14:53Off the island
00:15:22Straight to mainland Italy
00:15:24Reaching distant Naples
00:15:26On long
00:15:26But often costly ferries
00:15:29Or they could travel by land
00:15:31Through Sicily
00:15:32Before a short ferry
00:15:33Across the strait of Messina
00:15:35Into the rugged region of Calabria
00:15:37With its budget-friendly travel
00:15:41Once into Puglia
00:15:42The race continues
00:15:44Across the Adriatic Sea
00:15:45Towards Fiskardo
00:15:48It just looks like
00:15:49Southern Italy
00:15:49Is a bit of a longer route
00:15:51Whereas if we took a ferry
00:15:52Straight to Naples
00:15:53It would be a bit more direct
00:15:54And then it looks a lot shorter
00:15:55I know
00:15:55I think when you see a boat
00:15:57You think a bit more expensive
00:15:58Whereas this is
00:15:59So off the beaten track
00:16:01Yep
00:16:01You're for it
00:16:02Yeah?
00:16:03Yeah?
00:16:03Are you happy with that?
00:16:04Yeah
00:16:04We've got a plan
00:16:06Opting to keep on land
00:16:08The cousins are heading east
00:16:09Through Sicily
00:16:11Hoping to avoid pricey transport
00:16:14We're on the west side of the island
00:16:17Working out their first move
00:16:19Katie and Harrison
00:16:20So I think we should go
00:16:23Palermo to Napoli
00:16:24On a boat
00:16:25Yep
00:16:25The boat to Napoli
00:16:26Could be quite expensive
00:16:27I think we'd have to work
00:16:29To supplement the race budgets
00:16:31Teams are given a directory
00:16:33Of local jobs
00:16:34What's this job?
00:16:36The Grand Café
00:16:37Grand Café sounds
00:16:38Fancy as
00:16:3910 euros per person per hour
00:16:41It'll pay for accommodation
00:16:43For the night in Napoli
00:16:44Yeah, it would just
00:16:45Buy us maybe
00:16:46Some quicker transport elsewhere
00:16:48If we had a bit more money as well
00:16:49Yeah
00:16:50I think the race strategies
00:16:52Accumulate as much cash we can
00:16:53And obviously spend as little as we can
00:16:55I'm really excited to go to Naples
00:16:57It's one of the homes of football for Italy
00:16:58I want to go to Naples for the football as well
00:17:01I've heard
00:17:01Like it's a really good atmosphere
00:17:03We don't have a larger amount of cash
00:17:05To start with
00:17:05But I just really want to complete the full race
00:17:08If we're like
00:17:08First checkpoint Ian
00:17:0920% of our cash down
00:17:10I'm going to be panicking
00:17:11So just to earn money in Naples
00:17:13It's going to make me feel a little bit better
00:17:15Let's go
00:17:16Come on
00:17:16First leg
00:17:17Do it
00:17:1910 years later with the map
00:17:22Would you like a hand?
00:17:23I don't get it
00:17:25Planning a quick getaway
00:17:27Across the Tyrenian Sea
00:17:28The siblings opt for the culture
00:17:30And cash that Naples provides
00:17:34Could you tell us where the port is?
00:17:36You follow the streets
00:17:37Follow the streets?
00:17:38Yes
00:17:38And you arrive in the port
00:17:40Very
00:17:41It's beautiful
00:17:41Yeah
00:17:42It's very, very beautiful
00:17:43Thank you
00:17:45It's a long road that
00:17:46How long is it?
00:17:49Long
00:17:49Walking is a free mode of transport
00:17:51So we shall do it
00:17:53I could do it
00:17:54It's just like a blindfold
00:17:54So I can't see all these apple sprints
00:17:56I know
00:17:56It's not fair
00:17:58It's not fair
00:17:59What's that?
00:18:00One euro for a glass of orange juice?
00:18:02The problem is
00:18:03When it's that cheap
00:18:04It feels like you can just spend the euro
00:18:05But we generally can't just spend the euro
00:18:07I mean
00:18:08We'll see
00:18:11We can ask people in the queue I guess
00:18:13That's true
00:18:14Still trying to locate the checkpoint
00:18:16Joe and Kush
00:18:18Excuse me
00:18:19We're trying to get to
00:18:20This place called Fiscado
00:18:22Do you guys have any idea?
00:18:24Here it says that it's a village in Greece
00:18:27In Greece?
00:18:29What?
00:18:29We must be going through this little gap
00:18:31That's the closest we are
00:18:32Yeah, Greece is pretty though
00:18:34You have a nice day
00:18:37See you soon
00:18:38Thank you
00:18:39Nicely done, my bro
00:18:41So I think the fastest way
00:18:43Is if we can find a ferry over to Naples
00:18:45I'm sure that we can connect very quick
00:18:47Sort of up, across and down
00:18:49Into Greece
00:18:50Sound
00:18:51Let's get to the ferry port
00:18:53And hopefully we can get on the boat overnight
00:18:55As the boys head for Palermo port
00:18:58Trains are here, Molly
00:18:59Oh, perfect
00:19:00Tickets this way
00:19:01Andrew and Molly are planning their departure
00:19:03Hello
00:19:04We need two tickets to Mazina
00:19:0632, I'm 16
00:19:08Thank you
00:19:09Thank you
00:19:11Excuse me, does this go to Mazina?
00:19:14Yes
00:19:14Yes
00:19:15Double checking
00:19:17Fingers crossed that we're leaving Sicily tonight
00:19:20Because both of us haven't travelled
00:19:22It's quite important that we prove to ourselves
00:19:24On the first day that we can do it
00:19:26It's my first train in Italy, Molly
00:19:29You know my love of trains
00:19:30Let's get moving
00:19:32The father and daughter aim to build momentum
00:19:35And reach the mainland by tonight
00:19:37Following the same route as Pooja and Roshni
00:19:42I love Naples
00:19:43Absolutely brilliant place
00:19:45I hate it
00:19:46I loathe Naples
00:19:47I've been there quite a few times
00:19:49And I just
00:19:50You enjoyed it?
00:19:50It was brilliant
00:19:52I've been once
00:19:53I just didn't enjoy it at all
00:19:54Caught in deliberation
00:19:57Mark and Margot
00:19:58I don't want to go to Big City
00:20:00Okay
00:20:01I would rather go along the coast
00:20:03And go to smaller towns
00:20:05It'd be quite nice to go up here
00:20:07Through Puglia
00:20:08Sounds good
00:20:08It's a part of Italy that neither of us have been to
00:20:11Yeah
00:20:11At this stage, we're feeling our way in
00:20:14We've got to explore and see where our interests do collide
00:20:17I'd like to see that those truly
00:20:19They're circular with the stone conical roots
00:20:22I've always wanted to see them
00:20:24Race-wise, I don't know if it's the wisest decision
00:20:27But it's speaking to us both, isn't it?
00:20:29Absolutely
00:20:31I think we're going with our heart, not with our head
00:20:34Feeling the pull of Puglia
00:20:36They set a course to Italy's east coast
00:20:38In the hope of exploring the region's old world charm
00:20:43Ah, Puglia Centrale, yeah, here we are
00:20:46Grazie, grazie
00:20:49Sign down there, it says Porso
00:20:50Yes!
00:20:51With a ferry crossing in their sights
00:20:54Katie and Harrison
00:20:55Free shuttle bus
00:20:57Oh, yeah, sound
00:20:58Where were you two hours ago?
00:21:01Buongiorno
00:21:01Can we get two tickets to Napoli, please?
00:21:06One hundred and eighty-five
00:21:09So, sixty-two fifty each
00:21:10Just figured it out and that's about four percent of our budget, I think, gone
00:21:14It's a bit of a tough one to swallow
00:21:16And how long is the boat?
00:21:18Twenty-five hours
00:21:19Thank you so much, grazie
00:21:20Grazie
00:21:20I think twelve hours moving is really good progress
00:21:24For day one, we're doing pretty well
00:21:31Settling for the night
00:21:33I've got a bite on my face
00:21:34It's really itchy
00:21:35Like, it's like I've got Mount Edna on my face
00:21:39Mount Edna?
00:21:40Edna, that's the one
00:21:42Edna's her cousin
00:21:44Oh, it looks like we're moving
00:21:47On the same overnight ferry
00:21:49Joe and Kush
00:21:54Could do with a shower
00:21:55Maybe we could have a dip on
00:21:56Jump off
00:21:57Yeah
00:21:58Get one of the rubber rings
00:21:59And just float around the back
00:22:02I could really do with a cup of tea and a custard cream
00:22:04You always can do with a custard cream
00:22:07No, but this is like an especially, like, end of the day
00:22:11This is peak cozy cream and tea time
00:22:14I think it'd be three
00:22:16Three cozy creams
00:22:17And three cups of tea
00:22:19I want you to do it
00:22:35Having made it across to the mainland last night
00:22:37Two teams are already on the move north
00:22:41Why are we here?
00:22:42To experience things
00:22:43Why not stop somewhere along the way
00:22:46Explore maybe the coast
00:22:47Yeah
00:22:48Do something we've always wanted to do
00:22:50A bit of kayaking
00:22:51Maybe see the sea caves
00:22:52Before we make that mad dash to Bari
00:22:55Great job
00:22:56All right?
00:22:56I left my plan
00:22:56We've made good time yesterday
00:22:58We made the effort yesterday
00:23:00To reward ourselves
00:23:01To reward ourselves
00:23:02Perfect
00:23:04Oh, gosh, look
00:23:05Look, look, look
00:23:06Oh, that is really nice
00:23:07You can see the whole coast
00:23:10There's been a lot of farmland as well
00:23:11Lots of crops that you want to eat
00:23:13Just like, you know, fresh Italian tomatoes
00:23:15Like cherry tomatoes that taste like grapes
00:23:18That's what I want to eat
00:23:20If mum knew that I was hungry
00:23:22She would totally freak out
00:23:23She'd call 999 and be like
00:23:25My daughter is hungry in Italy
00:23:31Lounge deck
00:23:32Oh, this is sea breeze
00:23:35Trailing the pack
00:23:36Mark and Margot are making the short hop to southern Italy
00:23:40It's absolutely gorgeous
00:23:42Things are fitting into place
00:23:44Can we sit here?
00:23:45Yeah
00:23:46Once we get to mainland Italy
00:23:48And get a bus
00:23:48All the way to Puglia
00:23:49We shall be able to get there by this evening
00:23:51After a slow start
00:23:53The pair are skipping the sights of Calabria
00:23:56For express travel to Puglia
00:24:00Ooh
00:24:02Look at this
00:24:04People are joining in
00:24:05I think it's a flash mob
00:24:09You're going to join in?
00:24:10I'm not tempted at all
00:24:11Come on, Mark
00:24:12I'm not joining in now
00:24:14Can we join in?
00:24:16Yeah
00:24:17I'm not very good
00:24:18I need you on the back
00:24:20Margot's very impulsive
00:24:22I'm not quite as brash as Margot
00:24:24La, la, la, la, la
00:24:26What do we do?
00:24:28I haven't got the music or beat
00:24:30Oh, oh, if they're turning around
00:24:31I don't know what we're doing
00:24:32On the ferry, this is mad
00:24:35It's very Margot
00:24:36Very much joie de vivre
00:24:39Full of life she is
00:24:40Go on!
00:24:41Go on!
00:24:44Go on!
00:24:47Go on!
00:24:51Naples
00:24:52Founded by the Greeks as Neapolis
00:24:55Or New City
00:24:56It's hailed as the birthplace of modern pizza
00:25:00Where narrow streets pulse with life
00:25:02And the air echoes with the songs of devoted football fans
00:25:08Oh, lad
00:25:09There we go
00:25:09Gary Baldi
00:25:11Baldi Gary, bro
00:25:12I'm not a biscuit
00:25:15After their overnight ferry
00:25:17Two teams have reached the cosmopolitan city
00:25:20Yeah
00:25:21We're so good at this
00:25:26Getting a ton already
00:25:28But while Joe and Kush
00:25:29Make a swift departure
00:25:30Towards the Sorrentine peninsula
00:25:36Everywhere you look
00:25:37Is beautiful
00:25:39Katie and Harrison
00:25:40Have a chance to explore
00:25:42Before their shift
00:25:43It's got character
00:25:44You just keep looking up
00:25:46It's just like amazing
00:25:47Like
00:25:47I think what it is
00:25:48Is everything hanging off the balcony
00:25:50Blown in the wind
00:25:50Yeah
00:25:51It's so cute
00:25:52Even though it's just people's dirty laundry
00:25:55Oh, wow
00:25:56Just literally everything is Maradona
00:25:59Maradona, everything
00:26:00Football's clearly a way of life, innit
00:26:03I've never seen anyone idolised like this
00:26:05Ever
00:26:06Like, you don't even see religions idolised like this
00:26:08No
00:26:09Like, he's beyond the religion
00:26:11It's wild
00:26:12Right
00:26:1340 minutes to our shift
00:26:14Shall we go?
00:26:17Right
00:26:19Left
00:26:19Now we need to get turned on a wee bit
00:26:21Left
00:26:22Left
00:26:22Left
00:26:22After 260 kilometres
00:26:25Along the Calabrian coast
00:26:26Andrew and Molly's push for momentum
00:26:29Pays off
00:26:30With their chance to take to the water
00:26:33On the southern spine
00:26:34Of the Apennine mountain range
00:26:36Maratea is a tectonically active region
00:26:39Where black, mineral-rich sands
00:26:42Meet a labyrinth of sea-carved caves
00:26:45Yay
00:26:45Wow
00:26:49Look at the colour of the water
00:26:51It's nearly bioluminescence
00:26:53Oh my god
00:26:55This is so cool
00:26:56But do you see the pop marks and the limestone?
00:26:59Yeah
00:27:01I'm a geography teacher
00:27:02I've been doing it for 30 years
00:27:04It's the only job I've done
00:27:05Because I love teaching
00:27:07I love the mystery
00:27:09That surrounds caves
00:27:10I feel like I'm a mermaid
00:27:12I daydream about travel all the time in school
00:27:15But I have not seen as much of the world as I'd like
00:27:17Definitely not
00:27:18There is only a certain image you can learn from a photograph
00:27:21Because it's somebody else's photograph
00:27:23Hello world!
00:27:26We're free!
00:27:28We're free!
00:27:28You have kids and you get married
00:27:29And those kind of things dictate to you where you can go
00:27:32And yes, maybe a fact of a bit of fear as well
00:27:36And it's kind of stopped me from doing it
00:27:38A fear of the unknown
00:27:39There's a bit of a scaredy-cat in me at times
00:27:41Love to be adventurous
00:27:43But adventures in a kind of way in quotations
00:27:46Ollie, this is fab
00:27:47This is so good
00:28:01In Naples, Katie and Harrison are embracing the city's famed cafe culture
00:28:09Manchester
00:28:10Manchester, nice place there
00:28:13Yes
00:28:13I'm from Naples
00:28:14Support Napoli football
00:28:16Yeah
00:28:16In the Arsenal
00:28:18Oh!
00:28:19Manchester United
00:28:20I'm sorry
00:28:22The siblings are sampling a shift at Gran Cafe Gambrinas
00:28:26A Neapolitan institution since 1860
00:28:32Hello
00:28:34Um, just a moment, no Italian
00:28:37English?
00:28:38No, no, no
00:28:39This one?
00:28:39This one?
00:28:40There's so many here
00:28:42So many here
00:28:43I know no Italian
00:28:45So it's a bit stressful
00:28:50I'd much rather just be clearing tables right now
00:28:53Dai, veloce, prendi questo
00:28:55Grazie
00:28:57This is a place quite posh in upmarket
00:28:59Cheers boys
00:29:00Grazie
00:29:01But with what I'm wearing
00:29:02This is the best I'll look for eight weeks
00:29:04I think the cream suits me
00:29:06I feel like quite Italian
00:29:08Grazie
00:29:08Grazie
00:29:09Grazie
00:29:10And I'm pretty pleased that we'll have 80 euros soon
00:29:12I don't think anyone else will have earned this money
00:29:14Pays for a hotel
00:29:15And then tomorrow
00:29:16We've bought the bus to Bari
00:29:18To get ferry across to Greece
00:29:21Duty calls
00:29:24To get ferrys
00:29:33Camila
00:29:34Mamma papai
00:29:35My brother
00:29:36Ciao
00:29:37Oh, good to meet you
00:29:38My brother
00:29:39Ciao
00:29:39Richie, nice to meet you
00:29:40Ciao
00:29:41First important thing
00:29:43Are you angry?
00:29:44Absolutely
00:29:44Always
00:29:45Always
00:29:46So glad you asked
00:29:4850 kilometres away, Joe and Kush have made it to Sorrento.
00:29:54Ah, look at this, bro. Voila.
00:29:57That's insane. I've never seen a place like this.
00:30:02We've prepared for you the mozzarella and the tomato.
00:30:06We call it caprese.
00:30:07You guys are too kind.
00:30:10Overlooking the Bay of Naples,
00:30:12its grand terraces and lemon-scented air
00:30:15have long stirred the imagination of visiting artists.
00:30:19Is it just your family who works here?
00:30:21My family help me to clean the room during the dinner.
00:30:26I work about ten hours a day because I am the owner.
00:30:31I can't wait to help, honestly.
00:30:32Yeah, I need help. Absolutely.
00:30:34We're happy to.
00:30:36In exchange for bed and board,
00:30:38the friends will be working at Valentina's Lemon Grove restaurant,
00:30:41which has been in her family for 250 years.
00:30:46How do I say, eh, okay?
00:30:49Si. Si, chef.
00:30:50Si, chef.
00:30:51We need to read it loud.
00:30:53Loud? English. Read it.
00:30:55Speak? Smile. Smile. Smile.
00:30:59This is for you.
00:31:01Go.
00:31:02Here we go.
00:31:04Hello. Nice to meet you.
00:31:06Eh, voila.
00:31:08I hope you guys enjoy.
00:31:09Thank you very much.
00:31:10Grazie.
00:31:11No worries. Enjoy.
00:31:13I'm loving it.
00:31:13I think all our staff are great.
00:31:15They're all having fun.
00:31:16They're all laughing.
00:31:16Eh, I don't really understand the jokes
00:31:18because they're all in Italian.
00:31:19However, I can feel the vibe.
00:31:21What are you doing tonight?
00:31:22Erm, what's it called again?
00:31:24Pina.
00:31:24Pina.
00:31:25Pina.
00:31:25Pina.
00:31:26Pina.
00:31:26Sorrentino.
00:31:27Alla Sorrentino.
00:31:29Sorrentino.
00:31:30Sorrentino.
00:31:34It does take me back to home.
00:31:37Having a big family dinner.
00:31:38That nice, warming, familiar feeling.
00:31:40That I always have in Liverpool.
00:31:42I have an amigo for you.
00:31:45Ciao.
00:31:45Oh, that's food out for me?
00:31:46Oh, great.
00:31:48Ciao.
00:31:49Valentine.
00:31:49Give me a food on the table if you want to eat.
00:31:51Ah, that's amazing.
00:31:52She made us feel so welcome.
00:31:55Mmm.
00:31:57This is so good, bro.
00:31:59It's proper food.
00:32:00I think both our mums look absolutely kill to be in.
00:32:02Mmm.
00:32:03I'll come down with the whole family.
00:32:05I'll bring my ma.
00:32:05She'll love this.
00:32:06No, she will.
00:32:08Me and Kosh, we were both brought up by our mums.
00:32:11I think a lot of my good qualities come from my mum.
00:32:14My positivity, drive to succeed, my empathy.
00:32:18And for me, family is still priority number one over everything.
00:32:25I wish you could stay for longer, to be honest, but...
00:32:27Isn't it?
00:32:27If it weren't a race and it was just...
00:32:29Like...
00:32:29Chill across the world.
00:32:31Yeah.
00:32:32No, tomorrow we're back on race mode.
00:32:34Absolutely.
00:32:35Otherwise, I'll be stressed out.
00:32:38Here we go.
00:32:40Here we go.
00:32:40Al-Baro-Baro.
00:32:42Al-Baro.
00:32:44Al-Baro.
00:32:48Having travelled 475 kilometres cross-country to Puglia, Mark and Margot are now the closest
00:32:55team to the checkpoint.
00:32:59All right.
00:33:01Oh, this is very comfortable.
00:33:03What?
00:33:03In God's name.
00:33:05This is my...
00:33:05What is that?
00:33:07This is my cocoon.
00:33:08What's it for?
00:33:09What did you...
00:33:09What's it?
00:33:10Modesty, sir.
00:33:13Why do you need a modesty cocoon?
00:33:15Well, last night we had separate beds.
00:33:17But tonight, we're sharing a bed for the first time.
00:33:21This thing was ridiculous.
00:33:24And also, I don't want to sleep on the same sheet as you in case you fart.
00:33:28Thank you, Mark.
00:33:29It's OK.
00:33:30All right, let's get some sleep.
00:33:32Night-night.
00:33:33Night-night, sweet dreams.
00:33:40Is that a butternut squash?
00:33:43It's huge.
00:33:46Diamante.
00:33:48Known as the city of murals, where more than 150 large paintings adorn ageing buildings.
00:33:55Could we have some coffee?
00:33:57Cafe?
00:33:58Cafe.
00:33:58Cafe.
00:33:59Puja and Roshni have spent the night at a homestay, hosted by local farmer Giuseppe and his family.
00:34:08Cafe Napolitano.
00:34:09Cafe Napolitano.
00:34:11Napolitano.
00:34:11It's strong.
00:34:14Oh, OK.
00:34:16Grazie, Giuseppe.
00:34:17It's very...
00:34:19This is like pure Italian grandma cooking.
00:34:22Assaggiate.
00:34:23Oh.
00:34:24Oh, she doesn't try.
00:34:27It's good.
00:34:30Giuseppe.
00:34:32Matrimony.
00:34:37It's because food is good.
00:34:41Me and Rosh have had such a nice time.
00:34:43We're enjoying the Italian travel experience.
00:34:46And now we have a train booked at around six o'clock.
00:34:50We're in a beautiful town.
00:34:52I just want to enjoy it.
00:34:54Should we just wander around street to street and see what we see?
00:34:57Poshy, look at the sea.
00:34:59This looks beautiful.
00:35:01We are technically cousins, but our relationship feels like sisters.
00:35:07And we behave like friends.
00:35:10We behave like five-year-olds.
00:35:12That looks very Banksy.
00:35:13Is that Banksy?
00:35:14You think Banksy came all the way here?
00:35:17To the beach.
00:35:19I just don't think we've spent enough time together as adults.
00:35:23We went to different unis and we work hard.
00:35:27Smile.
00:35:28Recently, I think we both just realized that we've been missing each other a lot.
00:35:33Oh.
00:35:35Your shoes get wet.
00:35:36Wet shoes.
00:35:37Pooj is one of the most humble people I know.
00:35:39She has achieved so much.
00:35:41And all you get from her is just love.
00:35:43I feel like Pooj's relationship with...
00:35:45Oh, don't cry.
00:35:46I'm not going to cry.
00:35:47I wish I could record this.
00:35:49And then I could just play that to you when you're getting upset on the race.
00:35:52Be like, remember, this is what you think of me.
00:35:54I love my feet right now.
00:35:56They're very happy.
00:35:59Do you have everything well at you?
00:36:00Yes.
00:36:00OK, good.
00:36:02With all teams needing to move east, reaching the Adriatic in good time is key to the journey ahead.
00:36:09They can set sail from Bari into southern Greece and then island hop through the Ionian Sea to the first
00:36:16checkpoint on Cephalonia.
00:36:18Or set off from Brindisi to make a shorter hop to Egumenica and head south through Greece's Western Isles.
00:36:26We're trying to transverse the country from the west coast to the east coast.
00:36:29There's Bari centrale.
00:36:31Yes.
00:36:32The duration is 7 hours 43 minutes.
00:36:34Perfecto.
00:36:37Italian trains, they're on time.
00:36:40If anything, they're perfect.
00:36:44All right, here we are.
00:36:46Also with Bari in their sights, Joe and Kush.
00:36:49So, you have, um, go to Bari today.
00:36:5422 euros.
00:36:55Not bad.
00:36:56Grazie.
00:36:5822 euros.
00:36:59Direct to Bari.
00:37:00How heavy is that, lad?
00:37:01Big money moves.
00:37:02Big money moves, bro.
00:37:03Little money moves.
00:37:03Little money moves.
00:37:04Little money moves, isn't it?
00:37:05Happy days.
00:37:10It's actually hot here, isn't it?
00:37:13Scotch, yo!
00:37:15Just 55 kilometres away from the port, Mark and Margot wake up in Alberobello.
00:37:23There's features of beauty, isn't there?
00:37:25Yeah.
00:37:26Hundreds of years old, the iconic stone truly are said to have been built without mortar to dodge taxes,
00:37:33designed to be dismantled before the inspectors arrived.
00:37:37Good stone, look.
00:37:38Mega.
00:37:39Today, they stand protected by UNESCO.
00:37:42A cone-topped maze teeming with tourists.
00:37:46Station's over there, isn't it?
00:37:48Stazioni.
00:37:49It's pretty easy.
00:37:50Stazioni.
00:37:50The Italian's picking up.
00:37:51I know.
00:37:52We are planning on going to Bari, and then we want to head over to the port and get right
00:37:58over to Greece as quickly as possible.
00:38:00Where's that going?
00:38:01Bari.
00:38:03Bari.
00:38:03It's only bus.
00:38:05Another bus.
00:38:07Is there a train?
00:38:09Only bus.
00:38:10There's no seat.
00:38:11Oh.
00:38:12It's so frustrating.
00:38:13But when is we now?
00:38:15The current situation is there are no more buses tonight.
00:38:18He's coming out of the place.
00:38:19It's a real setback in the race.
00:38:21We're stuck here.
00:38:23Excuse me?
00:38:25Can you recommend a cheap bed for the night?
00:38:28Buonasera.
00:38:29Dovrei chiedere una stanza solo per stasera?
00:38:33Per...
00:38:34Tutto pieno?
00:38:35Ah, ok, va bene.
00:38:37Grazie mille stesso.
00:38:39Buona giornata.
00:38:40Full.
00:38:41Full.
00:38:41Full.
00:38:41I'll try another.
00:38:45Completissimo.
00:38:46Va bene.
00:38:46Grazie.
00:38:47We don't mind camping or a shed.
00:38:50Seems there's going to be no accommodation here tonight.
00:38:54Full.
00:38:55Full.
00:38:55It's a problem.
00:38:56There's no room at the inn.
00:38:58I don't know what we're going to do.
00:39:08Right.
00:39:08Ticket office.
00:39:09Ticket.
00:39:11Already in Bari, a direct early morning bus from Naples
00:39:15has put Katie and Harrison in prime position.
00:39:18Can we buy a ticket to Cappellonia?
00:39:21Cappellonia will go to Patras.
00:39:23Patras.
00:39:24Superb.
00:39:25Does the boat leave today?
00:39:27Oh, this is exciting now.
00:39:29This is tasty.
00:39:31We could get there, like, tomorrow.
00:39:33And how much?
00:39:33For Harrison, it's 76 euros.
00:39:35Oh, 76.
00:39:36That's brilliant.
00:39:37I was prepared to pay 150.
00:39:39It's unbelievable.
00:39:40I'm so happy about that.
00:39:41Today has gone...
00:39:43Securing the ferry means the siblings
00:39:45will be the first team to cross the sea to Greece.
00:39:49Should we have our sandwiches?
00:39:52Starving.
00:39:53Bread.
00:39:55I'm so excited.
00:39:56Pocket meat and cheese.
00:39:58The cheese is feeling pretty sweaty, but...
00:40:01Let's go.
00:40:05Really dry.
00:40:07Really dry is an understatement.
00:40:09Really dry.
00:40:10Like I've just stuck my face in the Sahara Desert.
00:40:13I can't swallow it.
00:40:16It's so dry.
00:40:21Lesson alert.
00:40:22Stop me so tight and buy some mayo.
00:40:25Oh, my God.
00:40:26That was a workout trying to get that down.
00:40:29I think we can keep doing this.
00:40:31I know.
00:40:31This cost us a euro 61 per meal.
00:40:35That's so cheap.
00:40:36You just need a bottle of sauce to take it to one euro 80.
00:40:41Yeah.
00:40:41Cost per meal will be quite small.
00:40:43Exactly.
00:40:44Yeah, cost per meal.
00:40:45But...
00:40:46You are getting there.
00:40:48You are getting the budgeting.
00:40:50Thank God.
00:40:51Ha, ha, ha.
00:40:53Ha, ha, ha.
00:40:58Ha, ha, ha.
00:41:00Buonasera, senoras. Buonasera.
00:41:03Ha, ha, ha.
00:41:04Stark and Albaro Bello for a second night.
00:41:07Mark and Margo.
00:41:08Oh, wow.
00:41:09Look at that.
00:41:10Shall we go up here?
00:41:11OK.
00:41:12We've been trying for five hours to find accommodation in this town.
00:41:17Everything is booked up.
00:41:18There's nowhere.
00:41:19Oh, wow.
00:41:20I'd love to have a go at one of these, wouldn't you?
00:41:22I know you would.
00:41:23Come on.
00:41:23You get one.
00:41:23I get one.
00:41:26If I was by myself, I'd be very stressed out now.
00:41:29But I'm just so chill to the moment.
00:41:31I think it's the influence of Margo.
00:41:32It's the Margo effect.
00:41:34If she's not worried, I'm not worried.
00:41:37If they've got nowhere to stay...
00:41:38No.
00:41:38..he's not getting us down.
00:41:40Nothing's going to stop us.
00:41:44The three years of caring for my wife, Julia,
00:41:46my role was making sure that she was comfortable and safe
00:41:49and then she had square meals and she had all the medication.
00:41:53But Margo gave her the will to live.
00:41:57Excitement.
00:41:57A spark of life.
00:42:13Caring for someone, it's not a one-man job.
00:42:16When she was ill, I used to go there for weeks at a time to help out,
00:42:19leaving my partner behind and I would be sitting with her,
00:42:23eating sweets, drinking cups of tea, laughing, giggling and just having fun.
00:42:35There's a saying, isn't it? Enjoy yourself.
00:42:37It's later than you think.
00:42:38Julia can't go on this race.
00:42:40But we can.
00:42:42And so it's like, enjoy yourself.
00:42:44Go for it.
00:42:45It's that chance, isn't it?
00:42:47Yeah, we're going to enjoy ourselves.
00:42:51Yeah.
00:42:54Is it brilliant to wish you were here?
00:42:56Yeah, it's great.
00:42:57But you do wish Julia was here, don't you?
00:42:59I do.
00:43:00Even though she hated Pink Floyd.
00:43:03After an evening filled with searching,
00:43:06Mark and Margo have finally secured accommodation.
00:43:09Ah.
00:43:10Hallelujah!
00:43:11Yeah.
00:43:11Oh, baby, truly.
00:43:13Brilliant.
00:43:14But their last-minute room in peak season
00:43:16has cost them 4% of their total budget.
00:43:20Thank you very much.
00:43:21Grazie mille.
00:43:22Ciao.
00:43:22Ciao, ciao.
00:43:24I'm absolutely knackered.
00:43:25But saying that, I don't think I've got through today.
00:43:29It doesn't mean for you.
00:43:30Is it a calming influence?
00:43:32That's what I used to do with Julia when she was sick.
00:43:34It is, yeah.
00:43:35And now you can see I used to raise her spirits.
00:43:37And you're raising mine now.
00:43:40Some people wouldn't have actually been able to give
00:43:42that level of commitment that you did to Julia.
00:43:44But not once did you complain about it.
00:43:47But that very grateful.
00:43:49Thank you, Margo.
00:43:50I mean, I think to do...
00:43:52To be able to be there for someone like that is...
00:43:54It's...
00:43:56I'm lucky and it's a great honour, isn't it?
00:43:58It's a great honour to be able to spend that time
00:44:00to do that for someone and be there for them.
00:44:03Cheers, Margo.
00:44:05Cheers.
00:44:15Two lads are over there.
00:44:17Oh.
00:44:17So, they're doing the same as us.
00:44:20Yeah.
00:44:20We can give them the game face eyes.
00:44:22At the port of Barry,
00:44:24planning to catch the 17-hour ferry to mainland Greece,
00:44:27Andrew and Molly.
00:44:28After that, we just take an island hop then to...
00:44:31To...
00:44:32A smaller ferry to Kefalonia.
00:44:33A smaller ferry to Kefalonia.
00:44:34Yes, perfect.
00:44:34What did they say?
00:44:35They're doing the same one.
00:44:37And Joe and Cush.
00:44:39And how much will it be for two?
00:44:40Sorry.
00:44:41Five.
00:44:42Six.
00:44:44We might be on the button, Molly.
00:44:46Thirteen.
00:44:47Fourteen.
00:44:48Fifteen.
00:44:49We're ten short.
00:44:50Is there any way we could change money?
00:44:52Okay.
00:44:53Okay.
00:44:55Problems.
00:44:56Ciao.
00:44:57Ciao.
00:44:58Okay.
00:45:00You know the people who come before us?
00:45:02Yes.
00:45:03Did they try and buy the same ticket?
00:45:06Yeah.
00:45:07They didn't buy the ticket because they don't have the announcement.
00:45:10Ooh.
00:45:11It's Sunday at the moment,
00:45:12and banks are always going to be closed,
00:45:14so maybe somebody might help us out here
00:45:17and change a bit of money,
00:45:18or we won't be able to go on this ferry.
00:45:19These are your tickets.
00:45:22Ciao.
00:45:22Excuse me,
00:45:23do you know anywhere I could get euro for sterling?
00:45:26Euro?
00:45:27No.
00:45:28Right, outside the port.
00:45:30You wouldn't give us a tenner for a tenner, no?
00:45:31Oh, it's a shame.
00:45:33I don't know.
00:45:34It's a shame.
00:45:35We're ten euro short for the ferry.
00:45:37Would you be able to give,
00:45:38and we give you sterling?
00:45:40No.
00:45:42Okay, sorry.
00:45:43Oh, they look stumped.
00:45:44What?
00:45:45They look stumped.
00:45:47I feel like we should help them all.
00:45:48No.
00:45:49Oh, lad, what are you trying?
00:45:51Joe's always looking out for people.
00:45:53I admire it.
00:45:53However, this is a competition,
00:45:55and you can't be giving the other person
00:45:58the advantage over you.
00:46:00Isn't this pretty?
00:46:01Yes.
00:46:02If they don't find it, sick.
00:46:05Realistically.
00:46:05Not to be mean.
00:46:06Sick.
00:46:06If they have to stay behind,
00:46:08then we're winning.
00:46:09Oh, no.
00:46:10I feel bad, you know.
00:46:12Right, just need to keep trying.
00:46:14That's all we can do.
00:46:15Excuse me.
00:46:15We need to get our ferry ticket.
00:46:17Would you have ten euro,
00:46:19and I'll give you ten pounds sterling?
00:46:20Good.
00:46:22Grazie.
00:46:22Grazie.
00:46:24Grazie.
00:46:25Grazie.
00:46:28Oh, my God, the stress.
00:46:2962.
00:46:3163.
00:46:32Thank you very much.
00:46:34But both of us worked as a team.
00:46:36Bang in the game.
00:46:38Grease, here we come.
00:46:44Is this train going to Rundizi?
00:46:48Also heading to a port, Pooja and Roshni.
00:46:51Feeling a bit more apprehensive this morning,
00:46:54thinking about where everybody else is.
00:46:56Are they behind us?
00:46:57Are they already there?
00:46:59I just feel mentally exhausted.
00:47:01The cousins are the first team to opt
00:47:04for the shorter ferry crossing
00:47:05to one of Greece's busiest ports, Egumenica.
00:47:10Hopefully there's a night ferry.
00:47:12Positive thoughts.
00:47:13We'll get there.
00:47:14We'll swim there if we have to.
00:47:16We'll just float on our backpacks.
00:47:22None of them are saying Bari.
00:47:24I think we should try and get some more information.
00:47:27Mark and Margot have made it to Monopoly
00:47:30down the coast from the port of Bari.
00:47:33Bari?
00:47:34Bari?
00:47:34No, Brindisi.
00:47:36Oh, do you know, can we get a boat
00:47:38from Brindisi to Greece?
00:47:41A boat?
00:47:42Ferry.
00:47:42Vero.
00:47:43Vero.
00:47:43A boat?
00:47:45A boat?
00:47:46Ah.
00:47:47Ferry.
00:47:48Ferry.
00:47:49Ferry.
00:47:49Ferry.
00:47:50We've had to make a quick decision
00:47:51because the train's about to come.
00:47:53Let's do it.
00:47:54We're in D.C.
00:47:55We could steal some time.
00:47:56I'm very, very happy with that.
00:48:04Late.
00:48:07Hindering our race.
00:48:09Move your boat quicker.
00:48:11Me in Greece aren't going to get on.
00:48:17Although its ancient poetry, politics and philosophy
00:48:20still resonate in our lives today,
00:48:22Greece was only declared a modern state in 1830,
00:48:26having been assailed by successive conquerors
00:48:29from the Romans and Byzantians to the Venetians
00:48:32and the Ottoman Empire.
00:48:34Now with a coastline of over 13,000 kilometres,
00:48:38the longest on the Mediterranean Sea,
00:48:41it's known for its 6,000 islands,
00:48:43of which just over 200 are inhabited.
00:48:50Right.
00:48:51Here we go.
00:48:52Let's hope there's some more boats this afternoon.
00:48:55Arriving in the commercial port of Patras,
00:48:58Katie and Harrison are the first team
00:49:00to reach the second country of the race.
00:49:04Do you want to go to Caffalonia?
00:49:06The ferry left 1 o'clock.
00:49:081 o'clock, OK.
00:49:09So there's a ferry tomorrow, though?
00:49:11Yes, but there's a ferry from Chiellini
00:49:13that goes to Caffalonia.
00:49:16OK. Today?
00:49:17Today.
00:49:18How do we get to Caffalonia?
00:49:19By taxi.
00:49:20The price is there.
00:49:22The 100 euros?
00:49:23Oh, we don't have 100 euros.
00:49:25I can make it 90.
00:49:2690.
00:49:29Do we risk it to get there today?
00:49:31Can you check if there are tickets?
00:49:32There are tickets.
00:49:33100%?
00:49:33Yes.
00:49:34If there are no tickets, you don't pay me.
00:49:36Do we just do it, try to get there?
00:49:38Yes, perfect.
00:49:38We might be able to get to Fiscado tonight.
00:49:40Yeah.
00:49:40You are going to be able to.
00:49:41Are we?
00:49:42Yeah, of course.
00:49:43Perfect. Thank you.
00:49:44Thank you very much. Thank you.
00:49:45Oh, it's hair-conditioned.
00:49:48Go, go, go.
00:49:49How far is it? Taxi drive?
00:49:50One hour.
00:49:51Your English is very good.
00:49:53I'm Australian.
00:49:54Ah, are you?
00:49:56A spontaneous spend for the budget-conscious siblings will take them 75 kilometres to
00:50:01Killini in search of their final ferry crossing.
00:50:08Buena sera, buena sera.
00:50:09Still in Italian waters, but heading east towards the Greek shores, Mark and Margo.
00:50:16This is quite nice, isn't it?
00:50:17It's quite a swanky.
00:50:18And Pooja and Roshni.
00:50:21I think the seating area is this way.
00:50:23Is it?
00:50:24Ciao!
00:50:25Oh, hello.
00:50:26Hi.
00:50:27How are you guys?
00:50:28Good, good.
00:50:30We're all crossing paths.
00:50:32Hello.
00:50:34Good night, guys.
00:50:35Good night.
00:50:36Good night.
00:50:37Up till today, we really thought we were, like, last.
00:50:40But seeing the girls, it was like a little light bulb.
00:50:44Oh, we might not have done so badly.
00:50:46If we don't get many people, it'd be like, business class?
00:50:50Yeah.
00:50:50Voila.
00:50:51That is good.
00:50:53Just need someone to come and serve me a glass of champagne.
00:50:55LAUGHTER
00:51:03430 kilometres ahead...
00:51:05Thank you very much.
00:51:07Let's play and go.
00:51:09Katie and Harrison have made it to Kefalonia.
00:51:11What a place.
00:51:13Oh!
00:51:14Arriving into the town of Fiscardo,
00:51:16where harbour lights shimmer against dark Ionian waters,
00:51:20and the first checkpoint nestles deep amongst towering cypress trees.
00:51:27What would be helpful if we weren't in the pitch black?
00:51:32OK.
00:51:33What does it say?
00:51:33Continue on foot.
00:51:34Look for the local map stands
00:51:36and you can find an off-road shortcut to your first checkpoint.
00:51:38Continue on foot.
00:51:40Off-road trail.
00:51:42It's a map here, Katie.
00:51:44It's a map.
00:51:44Hotel on the lease.
00:51:46Where did you are here?
00:51:47I hate maps.
00:51:48We are here.
00:51:50It's fine.
00:51:50We'll figure out our bearings.
00:51:53I can't see anything.
00:51:54Shall we put some of our torches on?
00:51:56Yeah.
00:51:59We're on that hill.
00:52:01It's going to be a path to a hotel.
00:52:06I see a big build.
00:52:07Look this way, Katie.
00:52:10That's a book.
00:52:11How are you?
00:52:13Hello.
00:52:14Hello.
00:52:14Welcome to Fiscardo.
00:52:15Thank you very much.
00:52:17Please sign in here.
00:52:18I need to hit earlier.
00:52:20I can't look.
00:52:22Congratulations.
00:52:23You have successfully reached your first checkpoint.
00:52:25Please sign in overleaf.
00:52:28Yes!
00:52:30Yes!
00:52:32Yes!
00:52:32Yes!
00:52:33Yes!
00:52:33We did it!
00:52:34We did it!
00:52:35Quick, get it down.
00:52:36Every minute counts.
00:52:40First.
00:52:41We're first.
00:52:41We've won.
00:52:42Leg one.
00:52:43But we've won.
00:52:44Yes.
00:52:44We've won race so far.
00:52:46It's made the budget spend just about worth it.
00:52:51Sorry.
00:52:52Enjoy the win.
00:52:53No, I know.
00:52:54Come on!
00:52:57I'm really happy.
00:52:58Yeah.
00:52:59No, I am happy.
00:52:59Say you're happy.
00:53:00I'm happy.
00:53:00You're happy.
00:53:01I'm relieved.
00:53:02We're happy.
00:53:03Well done.
00:53:03What a feeling.
00:53:05It is your view.
00:53:06Enjoy your stay.
00:53:07Thank you so much.
00:53:08Cheers.
00:53:09Thank you very much.
00:53:10Sorry for the sweaty hands.
00:53:11Sorry.
00:53:12Amazing.
00:53:21Well, there's the boys there now.
00:53:22Oh, there they are.
00:53:23That's good.
00:53:23We're not party last.
00:53:24We're not party last.
00:53:25Exactly.
00:53:27Having made it to Greece, Andrew and Molly and Joe and Kush are on a three and a half hour
00:53:33crossing to Kefalonia, where they'll need to travel the final 40 kilometres from Sami
00:53:38by road.
00:53:39We're going to have to spend a week while going around and see if anybody is willing
00:53:44maybe to give us a lift.
00:53:45When I smell this bad, I wouldn't give me a lift.
00:53:48Are you going to Fiscardo by any chance?
00:53:50Do you know how to get from Sami to Fiscardo?
00:53:53Fiscardo?
00:53:54Any chance?
00:53:54No.
00:53:55Yo, are you going to Fiscardo?
00:53:57We've asked, I think, almost everyone on the ferry, so not ideal.
00:54:03Fiscardo.
00:54:04What's the best way we can get there?
00:54:06Bus, there is not, but there is a van.
00:54:10It's 120 euro.
00:54:11Okay, okay.
00:54:12120.
00:54:13Okay.
00:54:13Thank you so much.
00:54:14Very good.
00:54:16It's 120 euro.
00:54:19So, would it be an option to go and ask the two boys to split the money with us?
00:54:24It would be easier if we're spending 60, knowing that they are spending 60.
00:54:32It's very manipulative.
00:54:34Yeah.
00:54:34Even though it will not get us to checkpoint quicker, makes it a hell of a lot of a parallel.
00:54:39That's just like peace talks.
00:54:41How's it going?
00:54:41Suggestion for you, alright?
00:54:42Ooh, alright.
00:54:43Captain has offered us a minivan for 120 euro.
00:54:48Shit.
00:54:48Yeah.
00:54:48Do you want to split it?
00:54:50Do you know...
00:54:52Okay.
00:54:52He wants an answer.
00:54:54Quickly.
00:54:55May I speak to my associate, guys?
00:54:56Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:54:57You can speak to your associate.
00:54:59Work on, work on.
00:54:59Okay, okay, okay, okay.
00:55:00Regular tax will not be 120.
00:55:02It will be less than that.
00:55:03No, no, no.
00:55:03No, but it's 120.
00:55:04It's 60.
00:55:05If this was in school, they'd be told what to do.
00:55:08Just it.
00:55:08They'd be told what to do.
00:55:10Alright.
00:55:11Is that good?
00:55:12Yes.
00:55:12Sorry, you're not going to pull out when we get...
00:55:13No, no, no, no.
00:55:14Alright, take it easy.
00:55:15Thank you very much.
00:55:17Resolved.
00:55:18Well, okay.
00:55:21We got this, Mark.
00:55:22We have got this.
00:55:23Last transport before Fiscardo.
00:55:26We chose this route with our heart, not our head.
00:55:30What that means, only time will tell.
00:55:33We have to race to checkpoint against Mark and Margot.
00:55:36Maybe we'll be able to come first.
00:55:39From the north and south, four teams converge in unison
00:55:43as they close in on the first checkpoint.
00:55:48What's the game plan?
00:55:49Just be ready to run.
00:55:51Because you never know that ten-second difference
00:55:53may be the difference between getting on one train
00:55:55and subsequently not for the next leg.
00:55:58I like your thinking.
00:55:59The sooner we get that, the sooner we leave.
00:56:01Yeah.
00:56:02Yeah.
00:56:03Think logically.
00:56:04Think quickly.
00:56:05The competition is about winning.
00:56:07We're also trying to gain time on the other teams.
00:56:10May the best team win.
00:56:13Fiscardo.
00:56:14Whoa!
00:56:15We made it.
00:56:15Above the calm waters of Fiscardo rise narrow streets
00:56:20and relentless climbs.
00:56:22And beneath the piercing sun, the race for an early lead
00:56:25gets underway.
00:56:26This is it on.
00:56:28Yeah.
00:56:28I'm feeling quite competitive right now.
00:56:31Just getting ready to start running.
00:56:33Lads, we're gonna beat it.
00:56:35No way.
00:56:37It's gonna be a butt race.
00:56:40Yes.
00:56:40Yes.
00:56:45On foot, find the church overlooking Fiscardo Harbour.
00:56:49Over there.
00:56:50Yeah.
00:56:51Is that the church?
00:56:52That's the church, yeah.
00:56:53Let's go.
00:56:54One more leg here.
00:56:57We can do this.
00:56:58Do you know where we're going?
00:57:00Yeah.
00:57:00Cool.
00:57:03They're coming.
00:57:04If this gets down to a foot race, you know who's winning.
00:57:08Come on, Monty.
00:57:09Hey, go speed up, lad.
00:57:11Come on.
00:57:12Ah.
00:57:14Daddy, Daddy, Daddy.
00:57:16I just can't run this, Monty.
00:57:17Snow on, Daddy. Snow on, Daddy.
00:57:19All right, Monty, with we go, kid.
00:57:21Right.
00:57:21Let's go.
00:57:22What?
00:57:23Hey, lads.
00:57:23Let me go, boss.
00:57:25You've got me in need.
00:57:27The church.
00:57:29That's not it, no?
00:57:30Nah.
00:57:31Stay on.
00:57:34I think that's it there.
00:57:36Yeah.
00:57:37That looks to me the entrance.
00:57:39Is this it?
00:57:40Doesn't look like a lot of the chairs, does it?
00:57:44Continuing on foot, look for the local map stand.
00:57:47And if you can find an off-road shortcut to your first checkpoint, Hotel Emily C.
00:57:53The map stands, Molly, would have been going towards the village.
00:57:57Is there a church here?
00:57:58Yes, there's a church.
00:57:59Oh.
00:58:00Up the stairs.
00:58:01You okay, Poshy?
00:58:02I'm good, Poshy.
00:58:04Look for the local map stands.
00:58:05Right.
00:58:08You know where church?
00:58:09Find the map.
00:58:10That was the gate.
00:58:12You sure?
00:58:13Yeah.
00:58:14Oh, nah.
00:58:15Look for the local map stands.
00:58:16Sam.
00:58:18Let's go.
00:58:20We need to find the maps.
00:58:22There's one here.
00:58:24Right, Molly, this way.
00:58:24Wait a minute.
00:58:25No.
00:58:26It's here.
00:58:27No, it's not a map stand.
00:58:28No, I just pictured Molly.
00:58:30So maybe round by the harbour, Molly, where boats are coming in.
00:58:34Where's he gone?
00:58:35Hotel.
00:58:36There it is.
00:58:37Oh, it's right there.
00:58:38It's around that headland on the side.
00:58:40Right, so let's get to the headland.
00:58:42Can we find a lot of water?
00:58:44Yeah.
00:58:44Let's make Marco.
00:58:45What?
00:58:46Do you want to go back and draw a map a bit?
00:58:47No, I think we draw a map and you've lost the race, Mark.
00:58:51I've seen three of these.
00:58:53It is.
00:58:54I was right.
00:58:55You were right.
00:58:56We need to go back up the headland.
00:58:58Okay.
00:58:59So I was right the first time.
00:59:00I know.
00:59:01I need to listen to you.
00:59:02I do need to listen to you.
00:59:04Up there.
00:59:05You see that?
00:59:06Yeah.
00:59:11Yeah, the park is...
00:59:12Oh, Ben!
00:59:14Cats are falling down, love.
00:59:15Oh, hey, hey, hey!
00:59:17Mark!
00:59:17Mark, Mark!
00:59:18It's here!
00:59:19Come on!
00:59:20Last one, Dorita's, bro.
00:59:21You say, Bob, can do it in ten seconds?
00:59:23Yeah.
00:59:23We can do it in nine.
00:59:24Come on, Bob!
00:59:28Molly, come on!
00:59:29Come on!
00:59:31Come on!
00:59:31I see a sign!
00:59:32Come on, so what I'm about, bro?
00:59:33Oh, my God!
00:59:34Let's get him to sign that book.
00:59:36I hear the police say he's pretty serious.
00:59:46This is scary.
00:59:47Jesus Christ!
00:59:49Everything that we knew about travel going into this just does not apply.
00:59:55We're coming to the middle of nowhere.
00:59:57We could really do with a miracle at this point.
00:59:59What do you want me to do?
01:00:00I can't mind you got my bus.
01:00:01I've never travelled with just my dad before.
01:00:03We don't know what we're getting ourselves into.
01:00:08What the...?
01:00:08Woo-hoo!
01:00:10Oh, gosh.
01:00:11For Mark and I, this is the chance to be spontaneous again.
01:00:14Give me your vodka!
01:00:17This is what I've been wanting to do this whole time.
01:00:20That is amazing.
01:00:20We've got a checkpoint to get to!
01:00:23Get that kettle on.
01:00:52...
01:00:53...
01:00:53...
01:00:54...
