The second runner was I and I made it in a very relaxed pace from Berlimo taking photos and enjoying the beautiful scenery with lots of roses in a plantation, nice looking cows that was white in color and as if that is not enough, I also experienced some weaknesses on way as everybody in where I passed never understood English and passing out the message by talking and shouting was totally demoralized in me but that never stopped me from being making fan as usual but I could go waving , saluting and smiling as all the run is about smiling and security.

At the end of the run we went to Mecurie Hotel and with Simon Isaac joining our team made each and every one in our team enjoy a meal as could happen as none in any restaurant understood our English and Simon played a great role in his French language.
