Hello!
My usually quite active 80+ year old mother and I are booked on this trip in just a few weeks. As luck would have it, her back has acted up and she is currently using a cane to walk. She has pain if she walks too long and too far but is fine if she stops and sits for a few minutes and then keeps going. She is trying to get a "shot" before we go to help with the pain, but the reality is that it may not happen in time.
We both realize that there might be some excursions she just cannot do. We will not be one of those travelers who doesn't accept this fact and then ends up holding up an entire group because we are too slow or can't walk for long stretches at a time. That said, has anyone been on this trip and found that there might be ample spots on some of these excursions for her to stop and sit for 5 minutes or is it pretty much walking/stopping/standing for say, 2-3 hours at a stretch with no place or time to sit down for a quick rest?
We are simply trying to get better informed as to what to expect. This is her "bucket list" trip, but we will not hesitatte to cancel it if it appears she will have a lot of difficulty with finding a place to stop and rest for a few minutes on these excursions.
Thanks so much in advance.
