I cant wait for your report coming from Thessaloniki to Corfu. By the way, I will be here until October 15th.
Give to your people more road pics jorge!
I think the world needs to see the place X.Z. grew up!
We are demanding a Corfu post from you first. If we like what we see, then we might come. (All of us!)
