Türi - Lilli

Reported by Sadanand Magee 124.0 km

We start our day running along beautiful countryside roads from Türi to Suure-Jaani.

We love meeting well wishers on the way.

In Suure-Jaane community centre we are very warmly welcomed.

We are treated to some beautiful Estonian traditional music by a music teacher and a her talented student.

Sadanand, our team captain, plays an Irish melody which both talented violin players pick up in no time.

Thank you Suure-Jaane community for such a lovely Saturday afternoon meeting.

Back on the road we run the next leg to Karksi-Nuia.

Our wonderful coordinator Reet runs a few kilometres.

We arrive in Karksi-Nuia just in time for the regional honey festival and there is every type of honey to found.

We give a short presentation to all those who have gathered for such a lovely annual festival.

Reet hands out a certificate of appreciation to the organisers.

Honey makers full of sweetness.

We receive some lovely gifts from the local coordinators.

Preetidutta and Dhavala find themselves some delicious local honey.

Onwards on the country roads.

Time for some fairy stories!

Our final stop in Estonia is to a small community centre in Lilli.

We are offered some lovely refreshments.

Running the last few Kms to the Estonian/Latvian border.

We reach the border and our Latvian teammates are eagerly awaiting to greet us!

Forming a chain of friendship between the two nations. We have had an amazing time in Estonia and now our Latvian adventure awaits.
