This is the island of Janitzio. Located in the state of Michoacán, this piece of land in the middle of Lake Pátzcuaro is what could be named, the mecca of the Day of the Dead. And at the top of the hill, the statue of José María Morelos.
This monument dedicated to this hero in the war of Mexican Independence was the second Pit Stop in a race throughout Latin America. Teams arrived here at the end of the last leg for a mandatory rest period during which they can eat, sleep and mingle with each other.
Johanna & Melissa, who were the first to arrive, will depart at 9:29 a.m.
Other departures:
Make your way to General Francisco J. Mujica International Airport. Once there, sign up for one of three charter flights to La Ceiba, Honduras. Once at La Ceiba, make your way to the Banana Republic Guest House where your next clue awaits. You have $70 USD for this leg of the race (Johanna & Melissa +$20). Caution: Intersection ahead!
Task 1: Cross the lake to the Pátzcuaro docks. (Suppose you are already at the Janitzio docks) Post either: **Use public boat (-200 MXN +20 minutes)** [departs at :00, :15, :30 and :45] OR **Hire private boat (-400 MXN +10 minutes)**
Task 2: Go to the airport. Post: **Taxi to airport (-300 MXN, +2 hours)**
Task 3: Choose a flight to La Ceiba. Sign up for one of the following three charters (you may NOT add spots).
Charter 1: Leaves at 19:00 and arrives at 6:00 1. 2. 3.
Charter 2: Leaves at 20:00 and arrives at 7:00 1. 2. 3.
Charter 3: Leaves at 21:00 and arrives at 8:00 1. 2. 3.
New feature: Flights. Throughout cTAR Express, all air travel will be done via charters. When you sign up for a flight you must add the time you arrive at the AIRPORT next to your team's name. Flight selection is first post, first served. HOWEVER, time differences in each flight will be taken into account. That means, for example, if a flight sign-up looks like:
Then, the flight arrives, Paul & Francis will be the first to continue at 8:00, while Joseph & Marie will have to wait until 8:17 (17 minutes) before being allowed to continue and Savannah & Keesha will be released at 10:23 (2:23 wait). Therefore, you must choose your flights carefully.
Attention: If you post an incorrect arrival time at the sign-ups, you will receive a penalty at the Pit Stop.
Task 4: Make your way to the Banana Republic Guest House. Post either: **Taxi to the House (-200 HNL, +50 minutes)** OR **Bus to the House (-60 HNL, +80 minutes)**
Notes: While in Mexico, teams will make transactions using Mexican pesos (MXN). While in Honduras, teams will use Honduran lempiras (HNL). To convert money post **Go to the bank (+20 minutes)** along with your conversion using the rates found in google or xe.com

Task 2: **Taxi to airport (-300 MXN, +2 hours)** Left: 1494MXN+140USD So I depart @ 0929, I just barely made it to the :30 boat. So I arrive @ 0950 @ the other side. I would have arrived at the airport at 1150. (or 1205 is I didn't arrive at the boat on time, but technically I did )

**Go to the bank (+20 minutes)** <- 1210 I want to convert 60USD to HNL and 1490MXN to HNL as well.
(140-60)USD = 80USD 60USD => 1134HNL 1494MXN => 2189HNL (1134+2189)HNL = 3323HNL
TOTAL: 3323HNL+80USD

Can we change our flight choices? Nope, forgot to add it, but once you sign up, you may not switch.
