Today was a classic Peace Run day, when in addition to running, the team had to meet with schools. There were four of them on this day. Team C had to run only 20km today in the direction of Albany to the ceremony at Mt Many Peaks School.

After our usual presentation: Introduction, country guessing game, the Peace Run song, a moment to feel peace in our hearts, the World Harmony Run song and finally a heart-felt thank you, the children held and passed the torch.

We always have gathering all the kids, runner and teachers for a group photo. Though sometimes, it can be like herding cats.

The young lad with the torch knew how many kilometres it takes to run around the whole continent! He's six atmost.

On the way to school, waiting for the runner on the side of the road, Edgars got out of the car and studied the schedule for the day. Suddenly, he noticed a beautiful, cute spider crawling up his stomach. While Edgars tried to pull his phone out of his pocket and take the best photo of the day, the spider had already reached his chest and was approaching his chin. Then the plan for a photo session with the spider had to be changed. A quick movement of the hand and the spider was on the ground. Yes, Edgar's heart rate had increased, but that's good, because it was already time for him to run with a torch.

Next came the ride to Parklands School in Albany. Before the ceremony at the school, we had time to see the natural beauties of Torndirrup National Park.

The Gap - it's iconic tourist destination where ocean and ancient rock collide. We could experience nature at its breathtaking best.

We also looked at the nearby Cable Beach from above. We wanted to swim, but we didn't. We watched the gift of nature with dignity.

And then we went to see the Blowholes, where we decided to test the resistance of the torch flame to strong winds.

Parklands Primary School, where we were kindly welcomed by the school principal Joanna Thiel. The school had prepared a surprise for us. The children sang a touching Cat Stevens song "Peace Train" for us. Thank you very much!

After holding the torch and running, the children sat around the peace tree, which was planted 10 years ago during the Peace Run.

Today we had the opportunity to meet again a friend of the peace run - Woolworths, who treated the runners with prepared boxes of products. Thank you, tonight there will be a proper dinner! (Picture from Woolworth).

Team B: After a week of sparse interactions, we were off and running again with 4 school visits today. Our 2nd school was Little Grove Primary.

During our meditation on the heart. This was lunchtime and they actually stopped eating to feel the peace.

The principal thanked us for reinforcing the value of peace that they work to instill in the children. Thank you!

Thanks so much to Albany Holiday Park for hosting 2 of our runners, Atulya and Teekhnata. This married couple often spends the night in a 2 person tent, which more accurately, is for one large person. It felt luxurious to be able to spread out a bit! We are very grateful for your generosity!
