SYDNEY
Tuesday, November 9th 29.2 miles / 47 km Sydney
Serge has decided to leave at 4 am to get to Sydney in the morning.
This morning, everybody is busy around him. Everybody feels nervous in his own way.
It’s difficult to get into Sydney because of the traffic. For 3.7 miles (6km) Serge must run on the side of a highway like road, so blocked up that there isn’t much space for him to run on.
He covers alone the eight kilometers left to end his long journey.
He crosses Harbour Bridge, the famous bridge, waving the French flag.
At 10.12 under the clapping, Serge appears, on the parvis of the Opera House, exhausted but a big smile on his face.
HAPPY TO HAVE MADE IT BUT HIS MIND ALREADY AWAY.
