“by Terry_P -"Our driver, Paul, was excellent! He was extremely flexible and was very patient with my wife who has bad knees and must take it slowly.

Alle 12.58 eravamo a 50 metri dall'autobus che stava già partendo, abbiamo dovuto sbracciarci e correre per evitare di essere lasciati in città. Abbiamo anche trovato alcune affermazioni o battute piuttosto inopportune, come l'appoggio alle bande che sparano agli spacciatori in certi quartieri o l'aver detto alla guida del Titanic che c'erano due passeggeri single con cui poteva provarci, fino al…”
