[Its the last day of Sarah Barnetts 2week visit & sharing the stages w. me. She writes todays report]:

"The monsoon season has begun. Last night at two am there was a torrential downpour and again during the final hours of todays stage. There seemed to be a feeling of celebration as we ran through the villages. Jesper and i were suprised to see people running out of their small hutsto embrace us or run down the street with us in the rain. The people we meet have so much joy, often dancing or waving as we run by. The highlight was the final hour when we passed by a school, only to see about thirty teenagers run out of the classroom and out through the gates. They ran with us for an hour in the rain, laughing and screamimg. Am flying back to australia tomorrow but will cherish these memories... Thank you jesper and the team. sarah"
[Nb: Reino Uutisalo from Finland who joined the run today and will run w. me untill 15. December, brought a new gps-phone so now the live-gpsdata, pictures & video should again be avalible online at the website as I run. THANK YOU REINO !!!
The live-pictures from 30. September to 19. October apparently has Not been transmitted to worldrun.org by my LifePilot system on the old phone. I much hope that I and LifePilot will be able to retrive them and make them avaliable as part of the online documentation !!]
