School day in Romania! Our organisers kept us really busy today: the high school "Petrache Triscu" in Craiova was first in line.

The school is a sport school and houses also the olympic centre of Fencing.

...a symbolic lap for peace....

Thank you "Petrache Triscu" for the nice welcome!

...we arrived at the residence of the Governor of Dolj. Craiova is the capital of this region in Romania.

...the architecture of the residence is outstanding...

Governor Nicolae Sorin Răducan received the peace torch...
