Well, I'm back. Only about 28 days or so. Not bad for a 1200km walk. Nice to see I didn't miss too much and there is an update coming soon.
Anything else interesting happen to anyone?

Had a great time 1337, met a bunch of people and saw some incredible things. Absolutely incredible but thank god I am finished. It would drive me insane if I had to keep walking for much longer.
toaster assassin, the weather was great, good, shit, terrible, shit as all fucking hell and if I have to walk one more day in this driving rain I will quit, good, windy, decent, shit, windy as fuck and then great at the end. I swear though that the wind a few days ago derailed a train and flipped a bunch of buses and trucks near the area I was walking through. Could literally not stand up at one point of the day and had to cower in a tunnel until it died down.
txfighfighter, holy jeezus....you had like 10 tornadoes I heard. Anyone killed/injured/lose a house or car?

Welcome back I´ve missed you mate, how did your white clothes handle this trip? Regreting not taking... something more dirt friendly than white in the end?
Did you make any new friends? found anyone traveling just as you?
Dont it just feel great just to be home? (Like you want to baricade yourself indoors and never leave home again?)
Did you lose any weight? Where did you sleep during the nights? how much did this trip cost? :O
Did you find any girl?! XD
Also... which memory is the strongest of this trip? (seeing your home again? XD)

Kamos, its been about 30 days. I was slightly faster than I expected.
Gusmil, white clothes are beautifully dirty. I am quite impressed with how they look after the last 4 days of the trip in which I couldn't find anywhere to bathe or wash and had to walk up and down muddy mountains.

As for weight, didn't lose much actual weight, most of what was lost as fat is just back as muscle. I have muscles in very strange places on my feet and legs. As for sleeping, I slept anywhere I could. Some nights I found peoples houses who would feed me and give me a room for a small amount of money other times I slept in train stations and one time I got stuck up a mountain as the sun was setting and had to find a sort of cave/overhang to sleep for the cold night. That was during a rainy day as well so was one of the shittest days I had. A bit after that I spent a day resting in a cheap hotel when I walked through the next city.
I met a bunch of people from a lot of different places but my strongest memory was when I hurt my ankle and was limping past a hotel and some guy came out and invited me to come in and rest. He turned out to be the owner and gave me a free room and food for the night in an incredible hotel up on a mountain surrounded by national park and facing/overlooking the pacific ocean. They had this awesome outdoors bath that just looks out over the ocean and I spent the evening watching the sun set to my right (west...) and enjoying the warmth of the bath and the cool breeze.
Other than that, glad to be back. Thanks for the replies everyone.
