* Quote Simon Carmiggelt

No twisting or scheming but going on - super going.For a moment considered giving this writing 'From Athens to Zakynthos' as a working title, but that did not get off the ground. Not least because of the letter of the same name, in the image on the right the Olympic Stadium in Athens. A midweek in the Greek capital is actually too short and with that we fell short of ourselves. There is no shortage of entertainment, by the way, and also for tasty snacks, impressive antiquities and drawstring liveliness, you will also find it here while pulling.
