It is always a challenge to customize a long trip, as any addition in days could possibly add to an already stretched itinerary. The best thing to do in a long trip is to add a few days of just relaxation in between your scheduled itinerary. So perhaps break down your things to do in a city in two days instead of one at some places. This will allow you to relax on such a long trip. You could possibly use this rest time at places where the travel time is more or where the city allows you the luxury of living in a unique setting.
