Final thoughts? Hopefully not!

Vilnius is freezing today. I'm really not looking forward to trying to hitch out of here in the morning. If you don't hear from me in the next couple of days it's because I'm dead.

Stop reading now, and check back in a couple of days. If there's no new post, then I am officially dead. If this is the case, then I want you to now carry on reading, it may give you some insight into my final moments on this earth.

Thank you for the support you've given me over the past 4 and a half months, it's meant a lot to me, but unfortunately there'll be no more posts for you to follow as unfortunately I'm now dead.
It was a painful death, both mentally and physically. I just got colder and colder until my organs slowly shut themselves off and I lay dying in the kerb in a Lithuanian town probably somewhere just outside of Vilnius.
My last thoughts were "What kind of nob do you have to be to leave your coat in Spain just before heading back into Eastern Europe in the winter?"

I don't want a minute of silence to remember me or anything like that, instead I'd rather that I become a figure of ridicule for even attempting to hitch-hike around the Baltics in below zero temperatures wearing nothing more than a t-shirt and tracksuit top.

If you want, you can show your appreciation for the brave way in which I left this mortal world, by clicking here to sponsor me. Remember all funds go directly to Cancer Research UK.

I'm at least happy that I died after seeing Vilnius, as it really is a beautiful city and one of my favourites from the trip.

Good bye to everyone who knew me and everyone who didn't.

  • Hi Chris,

    just yesterday I had a talk with a friend who just returned from a trip to Baltics and he ranked its capitals like this: Vilnius, Riga, Tallin (from least to most interesting and beautiful)...so if you liked Vilnius so much, you can start looking forward to the other two :)

    I wish you get a nice ride, I personally like hitch-hiking a lot, will think of you to get there safely...

    if you need a place to stay in Tallin or Riga, let me know (zuzanagregusova@yahoo.com) and I can give you contact of some romanians there, seems like you enjoy their presence :)

    Greetings from Slovakia,
