I didn’t provide an itinerary at the time of writing – as most of you know, I was making up pretty much everything as I went. I knew the basics – not the details. This was of course by design, allowing me some measure of flexibility in determining routes, transit times, duration of stay, etc. It is somewhat amusing that others seemed much more concerned about it than I…
