    About 10 miles in Madrid. There are these processions throughout holy week, and my tour group had to weave around the city to get back to our hotel. It was a nice walk. I would bring up a map, but I don't remember the exact path that we took, only that we did end up going in a big circle. Twice.

    6 miles in Mexico i got separated from my family at the restuarant and they were too drunk to realise i was gone. The funny part of the story was when I was walking back to the hotel a hooker walked by and started talking to me in spanish. I knew it was a hooker cuz it was hella cold and she was wearing literallly nothing. it was delightfully random.

    I've never been in a foreign country at midnight, unless wales counts, and then I was asleep every night at midnight anyway.

    I've several times walked the streets of both Paris and Berlin at night while being drunk. I wasn't alone, though.. I had equally drunk friends with me

    Also, there have been other times and other places where alcohol wasn't in the mix.

    The air conditioner in my hotel in Cuba broke down one night so I went down like three flights of stairs for a drink. Then I had to walk back up those stairs. It was a pretty decent walk for well after midnight.

    Oh man, it's way too easy to get lost in Rome while you're walking.

    I like how the lines make it seem like you pretty much disregarded the roads totally and walked over buildings and stuff. And then in the middle you jumped a little bit of the way.

    You silly! You're forgetting the time we walked from Piste to Chichen Itza (Mexico) in the DARK! It was a mile long walk and we didn't even know where we were going. Wandering around the side of a road like bumbling tourists just waiting to be attacked or kidnapped. xD

    I had to walk a couple miles in the Kyoto area to get to a train back to where I was staying. After a certain point, a bus is a one-way trip.
