Title: Postal service in San Stef
Post by: BarbaraG on October 24, 2017, 10:07:27 PM
I know most people don't bother sending holiday postcards nowadays, but we still do! On 12th Sept we posted 6 cards to the UK in the box opposite Peli & Maria's shop (not the one in their doorway) and not one has arrived! It usually takes a a week or 2, but I think we can now assume them lost. Has anyone else had a similar experience, or can offer any explanation?

Would you believe it - the day after I posted my comment, the first card arrived!

We've had them turn up nearly 3 months after they were posted!  Who knows where they'd been!!

I hate to say it as I used to enjoy sending them myself, but perhaps the above replies tell you the reasons why no one bothers anymore!!
