Some of the best travel decisions are made after admitting everyone is tired.

Plans made at home assume a version of you with full energy and no blisters. Halfway through a trip that version is gone, yet the group keeps marching because the plan exists and nobody wants to be the one who quit. Saying the tiredness out loud turns a private struggle into a shared fact that can be worked with. Much of what people later remember fondly gets decided that way.

Try naming it early rather than at the point of collapse: say you are flagging and ask what everyone actually wants. Cutting one stop and sitting somewhere for an hour is often the better trip, not the lesser one.
