After 4 hour train ride, got to Klampaka 8:40pm. Yannios came to meet us. We ride taxi home. Settled in our room. Awsome view for the rocks. Had dinner in the tarven next door. Met John and his wife from Newzland. They came here to trace the Newzland hero: Don. Don helped Greek to fight in WW.II. Became POW, escaped by pole-vaulting. Died in Singapore some years later. John’s family are close with Don’s family. They got connected thru the interpreter, visited many small villages to chat with people in their 70-80 who fought together with John. Auther is the tarven owner. He lived in Aus for 15 yrs. Posted a picture of Don from Magazine on his tarven window. Had salad and grilled meated on pine bark stove fire. Salty but tasty. Very quiet location.

Yannois called his buddy — Christo to be our tour guide for the next day tour.
