Has anybody been there recently? We will appreciate your opinions... Thanks Wojtek --- You can lose everything, but nobody will take away what you saw and what you experienced... W.D.

But the roads are horrible! Wojtek --- You can lose everything, but nobody will take away what you saw and what you experienced... W.D. Reply    Reply with quote    Contact wojtekd
