💡 Good to know for this plan
- ~11.2 hours of daylight in February — the plan keeps days inside a realistic window.
- The reviewed cool-season baseline still requires current heat, road, crowd, religious-calendar and attraction checks.
- Light days: day 4, day 6 have one stop and time left over. Local tours and day trips are the way to fill them — each day links to what is bookable in its own town.
