Hi all,
Just looking to make sure that the logistics are all correct (I will be using public transport on this trip) and if there are areas along this route that are considered “essential” to visit that haven’t been included. I am currently going for more of a relaxed pace, but I am worried some days could be a little too sparse. Open to all suggestions of any kind too.
