Taupo - Napier

Reported by Urdhacheta Yap 101.0 km

We would like to offer our heart felt gratitude to Deborah and Bruce Kenny of Chantilly's Motor Lodge, Taupo, for their kind hospitality in providing the team with complimentary stay. We totally enjoyed the wonderful and comfortable stay very much. Thank you.

Running as a metaphor, reminds us of the importance of keep moving forward. Like running, peace needs not be static. Peace needs to be dynamic and ever transcending.

The Peace Run has always been a very enthralling and joyful experience for all of us.

A new world of peace. A new world of light. A new world of height, can alone give me satisfaction-delight. -Sri Chinmoy

Along the way as we ran, many friendly residents and tourists came to hold the Peace torch.

Peace does not mean the absence of war. Peace means the presence of love, satisfaction and oneness in the world family. - Sri Chinmoy
