Rest and relaxation?

Idk, if it was me and I gave myself 80 days, I'd try to cram a lot more in there. I don't think you need to relax for a week in every place you go.

That is you and this is them. Are you also 81 years old?

I sure as hell fell like it.

My hamstrings have started to hurt a lot after 2 hour of driving.

Learnt years ago there's no 'right way' to travel.

Some people enjoy riding 100mile days on a bicycle. Some people fly everywhere and cram as much as possible into 2 weeks. Some people prefer to sit on a beach for 2 weeks in an all inclusive. I enjoy backpacking for at least 3 weeks to a month in a single country.

Each has merit, reasons and personal preferences. We all rest differently

Well, if this was just an average vacation, it wouldn't be news, would it?

Doesn't change the point. You can travel the world east to west in 5 stops or 50 stops

Edit in fact they are doing 18 which is pretty good going!
