This morning our team got smaller, as four runners from Austria and Germany had to go back home. They left early in the morning, to catch their flights from Bucharest - we hope you guys had a nice time on the Run. Don't forget to keep your promises and come back next year :).

Shopping in the morning...

A meeting was scheduled with the mayor of Urziceni, at 11.30 in the morning. It is the second time that the World Harmony Run has visited this city.

After thanking the mayor for receiving us, I handed him the torch. He was very nice and spoke kind words of appreciation.

Some children were there as well. I tried to make them smile but no chance. Still very cute...

Doggie, doggie, doggie...

A group of peacocks was walking around just behind the city hall. These are very beautiful creatures. Did you know that they can actually fly? The one I saw still needs a few lessons, but he made it up the tree anyway...

Tatjana from Slovakia.

The weather was ok today. Not too hot. not too cold. It was raining from time to time and that's the reason why there are no good running pictures from today. But I'd like to take this opportunity to introduce some of our team members...

Jarek from Czech Republic... oh no, sorry... he is from Poland :-).

It's Jarek's last day on the Run today. Tomorrow morning he will be going back to Poland. THANK YOU for being with us and making this team so joyful and happy...

Always smiling, always happy... Adrian from Romania.

Matthias from Germany.

Oooohhhh! A camera :). Maria-Luiza from Bucharest

Lenka from Slovakia is trying to hide. No chance against my Nikon D300...

Relaxed Rodika...

Gigi the great...

"That guy with his camera again..." - Radka from Czech Republic.

Runner with a Romania 'tattoo'...

We finally arrived in Bucharest, the capital of Romania. A group of young athletes was with us on the 5 km city run to the town hall.

To avoid creating too much of a traffic jam, the police led us along the tram rails. Pretty narrow for the vans - no problem for the drivers though...

The mayor took time out of his busy schedule to personally greet us in the foyer of the town hall.

He also signed honour diplomas for all the runners.

Snacks and refreshments for all the runners.

Another group shot.

Afterwards, we went for dinner and then back to our accommodation. This was our last full running day here. Tomorrow, we are headed to the border - already!...
