Homeward bound, but first Marsaxlokk

We had a couple of hours this morning before the hire car is due back, so we made the trip back to Marsaxlokk in the hope it would be less busy than yesterday. And it was chalk and cheese.

We easily got a park on the promenade and wandered the foreshore, mostly among souvenir sellers today. The bay is still an active fishing harbour and much of the activity was on the water. The name Marsaxlokk comes from the Arabic word marsa, which means port and xlokk, which is the Maltese word for south-east.

We drove back to the airport, dropped off the hire car unscathed (phew!), and got ready for our flight home via Larnaca, Cyprus (1.5 hours for refuelling and passenger drop-off and pick-up) and Dubai.
