The Amazing Race - Day 13

"Production Issues"

I was bored a couple of days ago and decided to take the time to read the entire Wikipedia post on The Amazing Race. I learned a lot of random stuff about the show. One such thing was production issues - if the producers have problems with the start of a new leg, they'll extend the current pit stop by 24 hours. This gives them time to sort out the problems, but for the viewer, it looks like the race continued as planned.

Today I took a production issue break. Venice is cool, but I pretty much saw the city yesterday, so today I hung out at my hostel's pool all day. I fixed a few problems with my itinerary, relaxed, and got a whole lot of sun.

Continuing with the random, useless facts, your fingers get wrinkly in water because it gives you a better grip on slippery objects underwater. (Courtesy of GoogleFacts)

Finally, did you know Phil Keoghan, the host of The Amazing Race, is from New Zealand? Now you do.
