The first day of Southern Hemisphere Peace Run Grand Finale started in Lembongan Island of Bali. It was a half-hour ferry ride from Sanur to this beautiful, idyllic island.

Hari pertama menuju Puncak Acara Peace Run Southern Hemisphere dimulai di Nusa Lembongan. Perlu waktu setengah jam menaiki kapal feri dari Sanur untuk mencapai pulau ini.

27 runners from 13 countries are in the team!

Here is an extremely talented boy, who told a children's folk tale with dramatic voice and gesture. We enjoyed watching him very much!

Seorang anak menampilkan cerita rakyat dengan penuh penghayatan gerak dan suara. Kami pun terhanyut dibuatnya!

The story was about a monkey and a turtle. The monkey was hungry and got his friend turtle's help to go across the water to get food. Although the monkey had promised to share the food, he did not keep his promise and ate all the food he got. Soon after, the monkey got exposed.

The moral of the story is, you must keep your promise you made to your friend. If you don't, then it's bad karma and it will come back to you. Also, cooperation is important.

Kisah tentang seekor monyet dan seekor kura-kura. Si monyet yang kelaparan dan temannya si kura-kura membantu menyeberang sungai untuk mendapatkan makanan. Si monyet berjanji akan berbagi makanan tapi dia ingkar dan malah asyik makan sendiri. Tak lama kemudian si monyet tertangkap si empunya kebun.

Pesan moral dari kisah ini adalah, kita harus menepati janji. Jika tidak ditepati, karma buruk akan datang menghampiri. Dan tentu saja, bekerja sama adalah hal yang penting.

There was a nice display of children's artwork.

Anak-anak menampilkan gambar-gambar karya mereka.

Feeling peace in their hearts....

Merasakan kedamaian di dalam hati....

In the country guessing game, we made the rule that the teachers could not give the answer. If they said the answer, then the penalty would be 10 pushups! And...that's what happened here with the karate teacher! The students very enthusiastically counted 1 to 10 :-)

Pada saat bermain tebak negara, kami membuat peraturan kalau ada guru yang memberi tahu jawaban maka hukumannya adalah push up sepuluh kali! Dan itulah yang terjadi pada pelatih karate ini! Para murid dengan senang hati menghitung 1 - 10 :-)

Barong, traditional Balinese symbol of good, danced for the occasion, with the Peace Torch.

Terima kasih banyak, Lembongan! Seluruh tim sudah menyatu dengan keindahan alam Bali...
