Mustvee - Kiidjärve

Reported by Dipavajan Renner 101.0 km

We started the day in Mustvee, located at the lake "Peipsi", which marks the border between Estonia and Russia.

The city representative lit the torch...

..and passed it on to the local children...

...a quick group picture...

...and we started our today's run!

...a few km down the road we met the next group of people.

...the kids sprinted away with the torch...

...an unusual meeting...

...the torch travelled by horse cart into Kasepää...

In Kasepää we reached a special concert place near the lake.

...we passed the torch to the mayor of Kasepää...

...and further on to all the people...

A nice song!

Estonians love music and they also perform and sing very well!

Thank you Kasepää for the friendship!

...nice refreshments were served...

...and we were invited to visit the local museum...

Tiina enjoyed her tea...

A Dutch runner with an Estonian windmill...

As we reached the community border of Ahja, a delegation was awaiting us.

...the first steps into the community...

...as we reached Ahja, more runners awaited us....

...a brave, strong runner with a huge flag!

..a nice meeting...

Thank you Ahja for the heartfelt meeting!

...running out....

...after a stunning run through the beautiful nature of Estonia we reached Taevaskoja.

The kids in the local camp gave us an enthusiastic welcome!
