His memory is so extremely good, we have never seen in our professional life being retired teachers in Tourism for more than 40 years. And we travel a lot. And make long voyages. Around the world. Mostly cruises. So we had a lot of guides but never as fantastic as this guy. Charlie you are the best ever in the whole world we say. Thank you very much for so many we have learned from you and seen during our walking tour in Malaga yesterday. My husband Johan and I, Thea, still talk about this wonderful and superb experience.
Thank you so much.
