Good morning Varaždin! We arrived at the Varaždin primary school nr. IV. The kids awaited us enthusiastically....

Thank you for the entusiastic meeting!

...we went on to Varaždin primary school nr. I...

...another great setup....

Thank you Varaždin for the heartfelt meeting!

...it was time to move on...

...and we reached Koprivnica. School "Braća Radić" lined up for High Five...

...the city representative welcomed our team....

...and the kids joined us for several km!

...we reached another school in Koprivnica - a rather surprise meeting....

Thank you Koprivnica for the joyful meeting!

Križevci, here we come!

..a great entrance into the "Vladimira Nazora school"...

After the meeting a spontaneous football game developed. Our team played against 30 kids - we had to accept a cheerful defeat!
