My last tours with a friend had a few mechanical break downs. He got worried that it was going to ruin our tour and was going to stop.
But that's where attitude comes in. Give me lemons..........
Don't let your trip be written in stone. Be flexible and you will have a great time anyway.
We didn't see & do some of the things we wanted but we ended up doing other things that were fun too.
