"Today we're going somewhere with coffee," Anakin said. "Strong, strong coffee."

"Enjoy Ethiopia!" Ben said, wiping at his eyes tiredly. "Into the portal with you."

Detour: Raise the Roof or Mud the Hut

[sith_happened]

In Raise the Roof, you assist a group of locals carrying a roof two-thirds of a mile (1,100 m) and place it on top of a house. Once the roof was on you then place a jug on the roof to receive their next clue. In Mud the Hut, you have to use a plaster made of dirt, water, and straw to cover an entire wall of a traditional Ethiopian house to receive the next clue.

Normally the roof carrying challenge wouldn’t be a problem for Alara but she was still rather tired from this morning and so it took her a bit longer to complete the challenge.

Mudding the hut wasn't too difficult and Nell got through pretty quickly, despite feeling like she could fall asleep standing up.

Roadblock: Matchy Matchy

[sith_happened]

In this leg's Roadblock, you have to enter a 850-year-old church to receive a pendant from the head priest. Then you have to search among hundreds of worshipers standing outside for one with a matching pendant, which could be traded for the next clue.

Alara was able to get the pendant but it took a bit longer to find the matching pendant as she awkwardly searched the crowd for it.

Re: Roadblock: Matchy Matchy

[mylandmyrules]

Nell got distracted looking around the church and watching all the people, but she did, finally, get the clue.

Find Anakin & Ben

[sith_happened]

But first, coffee! Sit through an elaborate coffee ceremony, but then you get to drink extremely strong Ethiopian coffee, so bonus.

Then find Anakin & Ben.

Re: Find Anakin & Ben

[canlendanear]

Alara was extremely grateful for the coffee after the ceremony and it definitely gave her the jolt she needed to reach the finish line.

At least she had done a lot better than last week.

[mylandmyrules]

Coffee, coffee, coffee!

Nell didn't care what place she came in as long as she could sit down and drink coffee!
