First I calculated what an ideal trip would look like. (time we left Hong Kong-time we arrived in Bangkok(in days))*number of useful tourist hours in a day (13)=396.86 hours.
Next I added up all of the time in each city-time needed for sleeping and eating (11 hours per day)-3 hour per city for orientation and waiting for trains. =335.20 hours.
Example, we will spend 63.25 hours in Varanasi of which we will be there 2 nights leaving 38.25 hours of effective tourist time.
By dividing the two numbers we have a tourist efficiency ratio of 84%.
Note: this doesn't take into account the actual number of daylight hours which may significantly reduce our efficiency.
Other stats:
we will be away for 798 hours.
Be in Cities for 612 hours.
Be in transit for 186 hours.
If I can, I'll record our actual movements and see how they compare to the expected ones. Given that travel can be a lot more random than a spreadsheet would indicate, they may be significantly off.
