Equatorial Guinea vs. South Africa
This game was meaningless in terms of the standings (both teams have failed to progress), so the crowd wasn't very big. Still, lots of fun -- particularly getting acknowledged by Bryce Moon and Nasief Morris (one current player and one former player of Panathinaikos). :)

Corfu
Our first visit to one of Greece's most famous islands. While the natural setting and the UNESCO World Heritage Corfu Town amazed us, we were not as happy with the degree of mass and crass tourism. Parts of the island have lost their charm.
