Tuzi - Ostrog

Reported by Dipavajan Renner 85.0 km

Welcome to Crna Gora - the black mountains greet us!

After crossing the border from Albania we reached soon Tuzi.

..friendly people cheered our runners...

The mayor of Tuzi and local athletes gave us a warm welcome.

...the runners carried the torch through their town...

We reached "Niagara", a famous recreation place and an excellent restaurant...

The smaller version of "Niagara Falls", but a very nice place.

...time to say good bye...

It was a hot day; even the sheep got thirsty...

...some of them with fancy haircuts....

We reached Podgorica, the capital of Montenegro.

...and we ran right into an ongoing Ultra-Race...

...one symbolic lap...

Amur's car got the apropriate Peace Run decoration...

We reached Spuž, a small place near Podgorica.

Before the official meeting we ran into a group of kids.

...and took the oportunity for a quick presentation. Its always fun to meet people spontaneously...

The greeting committee of Spuž.

The kids enthusiastically carried the torch into the meeting...

The principal of the local school welcomed us...

Thank you for the nice meeting!

...we went on towards the snowy mountains...

...and we reached Danilovgrad.

The deputy mayor and city council members awaited us.

Thank you Danilovgrad for the hospitality!

We ended the day near the famous monastery of Ostrog.
