A good morning start from Paide brought us to Kirna. The place is a special energetic park. We enjoyed the serene nature...

..local runners from Türi awaited us and joined in...

...who or what is this?

Thank you for the welcome!

...a brass band awaited us...

...the band played our "World Harmony Run Song", printed on the back of the banner...

...and we reached Võhma. Another big surprise...

...Estonia is very much into running: despite the small population many people turn out to be amateur runners...

...a heartfelt welcome...

..the mayor welcomed us with kind words....

...in Suure-Jaani a group of Estonian and Polish football players awaited us...

...a quick presentation...

...the mayor received the torch...

...and another great musical performance....

...not to forget the most welcome refreshments....

Thank you Suure-Jaani!
