What a nightmare! I’m so glad you made it home safely.

Oh my gosh, what a riveting horror show. Thanks for such a detailed write-up. You’ll be glad you took the time for it years from now.

Just when you were worried that you didn't have enough adventures to keep your journal interesting! That was certainly a grand finale!

home sweet home！

Salute to 3000km!

Masaya was on the edge of my radar screen when hunting boxes yesterday. I wish we had gone there! Looks like a great place. Sadly, they're closed on Monday and Tuesday. Otherwise they'd be a solid backup plan.

I got a box from Secret Base Masaya when I was in Fukuoka. They even have a boxing service, although I did it myself.

Of course, would be delighted to help however I can! Please don't hesitate. It was a fabulous adventure, although you probably shouldn't expect a sun tan 😉

Yeah, it sure would be nice to have more time to ride around Kyushu. From what we've seen, it feels pretty relaxed outside the cities, more like Hokkaido.

I don't think we would've had half as much fun without your advice and borrowing ideas from your journal. Thanks again!

I appreciate the encouragement! Thinking about doing LEJOG next year. Mind if I ask your advice when the time comes around?

Thanks for the kind words, Kim! Let's think about doing some local overnighters next summer. Plenty of destinations to choose from.

Heck of a journey. Hope you get some enjoyable downtime before the flight home. And congratulations on making it to the end!

I'm still enjoying reading about your travels: thanks for persevering with the diary! And the hills, of course... 😉

Hey, congratulations! Major accomplishment. It was nice to be reminded of what. Great stretch of coast that is.

Hey, I think you are a great writer! I read some of your early entries all at once. Then I got overwhelmed as has often happened with Peter's journals from Bosnia. I remembered to pop in today. I'm sharing your excitement with a bit of envy. I want to do the Netherlands and Germany next fall.
