Iż-Żebbuġ

Today was a slow start, I became I.T wizard and fixed Dad & Desma’s phone SIM cards while having some breakfast.

After Breakfast there was time for the last swim in Gozo, we went back to Wied il-Ghasri, the water was much clearer than previous mostly due to hardly anyone being there & no sunscreen running off people. I’ll eventually do a video of the area and post it up.
Charlie and I swam close towards the opening while Katie stayed near the beach area.

We went for another walk of Victoria & had a beer in a bar (more like a corner shop!) We got some pastizzi from Sphinx in Victoria. Peas & ricotta were the two flavours.

Katie, Desma, Dad and I packed up our things (Dad & Desma an overnight bag) and Charlie and Cornelia took us to the Gozo fast ferry so we could go to Valletta as we are flying to Italy tomorrow. A goodbye to Charlie & Cornelia for their hospitality and acting as our tour guides, (6 out of 5 star rating) a little wait in the blistering heat and we were on the fast ferry to Valletta.

Once you get to Valletta, you get a ticket to take the Upper Barrakka lifts up instead of walking uphill - in this humidity, downhill is bad enough! The Upper Barrakka lifts opened in December 2012, linking the Grand Harbour to the Upper Barrakka Gardens and Valletta city centre. It is located on the original site where its predecessor, which was dismantled in 1983, operated between 1905 and 1973.

We checked back into the Grand Harbour Hotel, then went to dinner at Nenu the Artesian Baker, this is where we went first night in Valletta and it delivered the goods again!

Seeing we were all pretty tired, we called an early night seeing Katie & I were getting up at 5.30am for our next stop.Weiterlesen
