Along the coast there is a succession of small villages and ancient wooden dwellings.&nbsp; Time seems to have stopped in this part of Japan.&nbsp; Maritime activity is intense and far from being industrialized: a multitude of small fishing boats floats in the distance and some have already returned to the pier.&nbsp; We enjoyed this tranquil existence for a while.&nbsp; It was in this atmosphere that Serge clocked 18,000 kilometers.&nbsp; It took Serge more than 14 days to run each of the last three 1,000 km so obviously he has perked up: &#8220;18,000 km is the total of the crossings of the USA, South America and Africa.&nbsp; End to end, these three continents represented 250 days, whereas on this crossing I have spent 5 days less and at one go.&nbsp; This gives me some ideas for what remains.&#8221;&nbsp; He won&#8217;t tell us what these ideas are but he hasn&#8217;t lost his love of numbers.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to all of you for your messages, which increase every day.&nbsp; See you tomorrow.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: right;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">English translation by Lee Hecht<\/span><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>        <br class=\"clear\">      <\/div>\n<p id=\"closingbar\">THE INCREDIBLE SERGE GIRARD&#8217;S CHALLENGE<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>petit village de p\u00eacheur bateau de p\u00eache nappe de brume un point culinaire : des algues qui finiront dans votre assiette le poisson frais arrive \u00e0 bon port Serge en plein discours on tient le bon bout la journ\u00e9 n&#8217;est pas termin\u00e9 D247 &#8211; 75.7Km MONDAY, AUGUST 21N41 15.258 E140 20.967 (61 m &#8211; Cape [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2224","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-non-classe"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sergegirard.com\/5continents-eurasia-en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2224","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sergegirard.com\/5continents-eurasia-en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sergegirard.com\/5continents-eurasia-en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sergegirard.com\/5continents-eurasia-en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sergegirard.com\/5continents-eurasia-en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2224"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sergegirard.com\/5continents-eurasia-en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2224\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sergegirard.com\/5continents-eurasia-en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2224"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sergegirard.com\/5continents-eurasia-en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2224"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sergegirard.com\/5continents-eurasia-en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2224"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
