Questions

1) Our parents are in/approaching their 70s and their stamina may be a concern. Is this itinerary considered too heavy?

2) How is the flow? Should anything be re-arranged?

3) Have read that traffic during the autumn period is extremely heavy, should we begin even earlier on Day 2?

4) Any food recommendations?

Thanks in advance!
