Starting Location - Old Royal Naval College London, United Kingdom

Finishing Location - Amalia Hotel Delphi, Greece

Summary - The race started from Old Royal Naval College in London, finishing the first leg at the Amalia Hotel in Delphi, Greece. During the race, Jinda & Bindu received news of a family illness, and decided to withdraw from the race in Aachen. They were replaced by Elaine & Tony, who continued on the same route planned by Jinda & Bindu.

Josh & Felix worked in a farm outside Munich and gained a significant increase in cash. Natalie & Shameema also worked in Lyon, but earned less. Both Josh & Felix and Darron & Alex took the land route through the Balkans to reach Greece, while the other three teams took a ferry from different ports in Italy.

Josh & Felix, with an increase in funds from their work, took a fast train to Budapest. They reached Greece by bus, and took advantage of a fellow passengers' knowledge, changed bus at an unscheduled stop before it reached Athens to get to Delphi first. The other teams that went across the sea all arrived later.
