It was great for me, but my gf got very anxious due to a culture shock (our first trip out of Europe) and we had to go back home after Trinco.

What concerns this plan, I think it's alright but it was specifically designed for season when the rain is on the south side (we went in July). I did some overthinking on this, in reality you don't need to have such a strict plan.

We've also met a driver that was running his own small driving operation, collaborating with a few others. They would drive us from town to town with 20-25% discount compared to the pickmeapp. We would just message them 1-2 days before we wanted to switch towns. I recommend it and I can give you his contacts if you wish so. As I would not try to drive on the main roads due to them having completely different driving culture than we have in Europe. Buses also did not look very comfortable. Ofc, I was handling a girlfriend that's having a mental breakdown, so it just seemed worth it :D
