December 2019 - Non-sightseeing time


We had a couple of weeks of no sightseeing in India, and managed to finish the photos and blog for India.  From that experience, it would seem we need 1 week of non-sightseeing for every 4 weeks of sightseeing just to do photos and blog.  And we need more days off to deal with the normal living stuff, as we are not just vacationing, we are living as we travel.

And we need downtime just like we were living at home.  

So we need to extend our sightseeing days by 25% just to do the photo stuff (not working 8 hours a day, though), and maybe another 10% - 25% to do everything else.  So sightseeing time needs roughly a third to a half more, or, for example, for three weeks of sightseeing we might need 4 - 4 1/2 weeks; or for 4 weeks of sightseeing, we might need 5 - 6 weeks.  We need less when we travel by ourselves, since we can do some work in the evenings on sightseeing days.  That occurs less when we are on a tour.
