We woke up that Thursday and it was actually a bit cloudy, windy and a bit cool. Thursday already, the days are just flying by.
We had some breakfast and people broke off a bit. Some people did reading, some people listened to music. I spent a good chunk of the morning writing in my journal. In the afternoon I introduced a few people to the game The Resistance. You're A Spy!!
The day went by quite quickly actually for a lazy day and there were a few naps that we had as well.
It was decided during the day that we should head up the hill and visit the local restaurant for dinner. Let's see what the town of Kalami had to offer. We all slowly showered and began to get ready for our evening out.
We were all ready so we made our way up the hill and walked into the restaurant. It was a family restaurant, the husband Antonios who was christened in Scarborough at his Uncle's church. Then Antonio's wife and mother cooked all the delicious food we'd be eating. Pitchers of home made wine were brought to the table. I can be a funny eater at times so I was quite nervous about what I'd be eating. It was decided that we'd eat family style and just ordered a bunch of dishes to share. The dishes arrived and they arrived quickly and they seemed to arrive non-stop. It was dish after dish of deliciousness and everything we had was amazing and so fresh. The food was so good and we ate like hungry animals and it was over before we knew it. To end the meal we were brought homemade cake and homemade ice cream. You've never had ice cream as smooth as this. With such large pieces of chocolate crackling. Like other places and what is tradition, Raki is served to wrap up your meal. Many of us continued to smell and sip as most Raki we found had a strong odour and an even stronger taste. We were speaking with Antonios and he told us that he had live music tomorrow night, so we said we'd back again tomorrow. A tomorrow we promised ourselves that we would eat slower and try and enjoy the food that much more.

We slowly went back down the hill and down the driveway of death. Luckily one in our crew brought a head lamp and that made it easier to get down the hill. We sat around on the patio for a bit, but then one by one we went to bed with smiles on our faces after a great meal.
Caro and Al were heading out very early that next morning so we said our goodbyes and wished them well on their next leg of travels as they were heading to Italy for a few days.
Fade out Day Nine.
