Sending the drone out for it's morning fly.

Dronen var sendt ud på en morgentur

The team started the day with an early morning ferry ride to the island of Sandoy. We were treated to a most beautiful view of the sunlit sky.

Holdet startede dagen med at tage en morgentur med færgen over til Sandoy. Vi fik den smukkeste solopgang!

The ferry's here!

Færgen er her!

You never know what amospheric scene is around the next headland in the Faroe Islands.

Her på Færøerne er det altid en overraskelse hvilken udsigt man får når man kommer "rundt om hjørnet"

The sun blessed us again today as we arrived at our 1st school!

Vi var meget heldige med vejret igen i dag når vi kom ud til den første skole.

The team is greeted by an enthusiastic group of students!

Vi fik en dejligt velkomst fra nogle entusiastiske elever!

The view from the schoolyard was incredible!

Udsigten fra skolegården var utroligt smuk!

Taking a moment to feel peace within...

Et øjeblik i stilhed for at mærke fred i sig selv

Running with the torch is always a thrill for the students - so much so it's hard for the team to keep up at times!

Eleverne er ret glade for at løbe med fakkelen - så glade faktiskt at det kan være svært for os på holdet at løbe med!

Time to get that passport stamped!

så var der tid til stempler i passene

It was a wonderful visit to Skopunar Skúli!

vi havde et dejligt besøg på Skopunar Skúli

We were also joined by students and teachers from Skálavíkar Skuli. It's a small school of 3 pupils from the south of the island and we were very happy they made the journey up to meet with us.

Der var også elever og en lærer fra Skálavíkar skúli. Det er en lille skúli med 3 elever i alt. Vi var meget glade for at de kørte herhen for at mødes med os.

The team was now off to visit a second school - Sands Skuli.

Så tog vi afsted for at komme til den næste skole.

I spy Peace....

Jeg tror jeg kan "se" fred ...

This is what happens when the teachers "help" the students in the "guess my country" game with the team members. A few push ups are in order!

Dette sker når lærerne "hjælper" børnene, når børnene skal gætte hvor vi kommer fra. Nogle armbøjninger!

Jwalanta is always happy to welcome the students to Europe, the continent he represents during the worldwide passport stamping activity!

Jwalanta er altid glad for at få børnene på besøg til Europa, som han repræsenterer når vi leger pas-legen og børnene løber rundt om verden.

Shyamala is assisting in counting up the correct amount of stamps!

Shyamala hjælper til ved at finde ud af om der mangler et stempel i passet..

I've just visited all the continents :-)

Jeg har besøgt alle kontinenterne :-)

All hands on the torch!

Alle hænder på fakkelen!

This painting is titled 'Imagine Peace Here and Now'. Given the peaceful beauty of Sandur this felt very easy to do!

Dette maleri hedder "Imagine Peace Here and Now". Det bliver nok ikke svært får dem på Sandur - med den smukke natur omkring sig.

Getting a better view of the goings on in the playground.

Denne pige fik en god udsigt over det der foregik i skolegården.

Kunst i skolen

The team enjoys sitting down with the school staff for coffee and cake-we are always grateful for such generosity.

Holdet nyder engang imellem at sidde ned sammen med de ansatte på skolen og drikke en kop kaffe med kage. Vi er altid meget taknemmelige for de invitationer.

These children had been learning the Peace run song and sang it perfectly with us. Thank-you!!!

Børnene på denne skole havde lært Peace Run sangen og sang perfekt med os! Mange tak for den fine sang!

Palash and Laufey having an important discussion regarding peace and cake or maybe just a piece of cake.

Palash og Laufey tager en snak om .... livet, eller måske om kagen?

The team enjoyed a quick trip to a most beautiful beach since the weather was absolutely stellar!

Vi havde tid til at tage en tur til stranden, som var fantastisk... ligesom vejret!

Laufey and Dhavala getting their feet wet...

Laufey og Dhavala tog en løbetur i bare tær...

And Suren takes it a bit further-swimming with the peace torch!

Suren tog den lidt længere og tog en svømmetur med fakkelen!

It's actually one of the few beaches on the Faroe islands and is why the Island is named 'Sandoy'. Given our luck with the glorious sunshine we were all making the most of our short time there!

Dette er en af de få øer der har sandstrand, derfor hedder øen Sandoy. Vi nød meget vores tid der, da vi fik fantastiskt vejr!

The team had a beautiful run from the beach back to the ferry. With some sheep showing us the way ;)

Vi havde også en smuk løbetur fra stranden og tilbage til færgen. Nogle får viste os vejen :)

Wet feet for the perfect shot?!

Våde tær for at tage det perfekte billede

The views were just incredible. We truly enjoyed this one as it was also a nice downhill finish to our run.

Udsigten var helt fantastisk! Vi nød det og det var især fint at få en nedad bakke til sidst

The skies had fully cleared for our trip back and it was picture postcard all around!

Der var en klar himmel på vej tilbage på færgen og helt utrolig udsigt!

We enjoyed our ferry ride back!

Dejlig sejltur tilbage!

And continued with some more (uphill!!) running once we reached port.

Vi fik løbe lidt mere da vi kom i land.. en ret lang bakke opad!

We are so grateful to Hridananda and Pujari who often selflessly cook up amazing meals for a hungry team.

Vi er så taknemmelige for de fantastiske måltider vi får, lavet af Hridananda og Pujari. De er virkelig dygtige til at lave mad til de sultne løbere.

Another wonderful day closes for the Peace Run team's Faroese adventure.

En smuk afslutning på endnu en fin dag med masser af eventyr på Færøerne.
