I just want a shower and a drink normally. After a while appreciate a bit of normal food and then tend to feel quite sick. After a proper night's sleep I'm normally substantially better but even the next few days in Turkey or Greece I was really unlikely to take kindly to moving more than a few hundred metres at a time.
Felt for the missus not being able to do tourist shit but when she went to the beach I had a sense of humour failure half way there and just HAD to go into a shop for a drink/ice cream to cool down and take a moment. Once at the beach I couldn't be fucked going in the water, I sat in the shade and drank beers.
You might only have to carry 75kg over Europe but fatigue will still add up. Good luck running after kids afterwards. :S

What hoppy said. You’ll be completely done when finished, you won’t want to walk or even talk but just sleep. There are a few exceptions to this. But I don’t understand them.
Meteora is a great place with good food and beautiful surrounding countryside.
Having somewhere to be puts you on a deadline, and a lot of people will crack when they can’t make their deadline. Scratching 1000s of km from the finish as they’ve lost their schedule and now know they can make the deadline. So just be aware of that.
You’re going on this amazing adventure, and the most important thing is to finish. So don’t make obstacles to that.
