Great Journey 🏍 Day 162
It's really funny about the post. Our Christmas mail went into the letterbox at the end of November. In the hope that it would also be emptied.
A week later, we observed the interesting goings-on (we don't want to talk about chaos) in Koroni's post office. The hope for an early delivery of our Christmas greetings vanished.
Sometime in January, the first Merci for the card greetings reached us. Yay, the letterbox was emptied after all. We kept on hoping.
This week (almost mid-February, mind you!) another card arrived. Of course, we haven't kept a list and don't know if all of them have arrived at all.
However, a small, funny detail on the side: On Tuesday last week, I sent my bookkeeping home in an envelope. Scanned beforehand, to be sure. We "forewarned" mum that a letter would arrive sometime in the next few months, which she could simply put on our "maybe someday important pile". Then on Thursday, the text message: "Heike, your accounting has arrived!" Yes, mum still sends text messages. And yes, the letter took two days.
Now we ask ourselves: Should we rather send our receipts for the accounting instead of Greece postcards in the future? They will most likely go faster 🙂 🙂
Or are Greek postcard greetings delivered personally by Greeks living in Germany and Switzerland?
