Gozo – Sister Island of Malta

Today we had the best weather. No clouds and almost no wind at all. A relief after the strong winds of the past days. We spent all day on Gozo Island. Gozo is a small island next to Malta. We took the ferry. After a 20 minutes ride we arrived at Mgarr. What is always the first you can see is a church.  Perhaps you have noticed that in my previous posts too. Malta and Gozo together have 365 churches.

First our coach took us to Dwejra – also called the Azurwindow. A stunning scenery of caves. The water has all shades of blue and turquoise. We took a boat tour through and around the caves. At times it was scary because the waves were pretty heavy the closer we were to the rocks.

The picture doesn’t show it well enough but as soon as the sun shone into the water the colors were exploding in all it’s blue and green shades. The water is so clear you can see to the ground!

The next stop was in Xlendi. A cute little fishermen’s village where we had lunch.

Look at this big grasshopper!

The last stop led us to the capital Victoria/Rabat. It is common that popular people have dolphins on their door as a sign of kindness…. I was smiling hearing this. Because dolphins are my favorite animals and like butterflies my symbol of freedom and liberation. We also passed the narrowest alley and could watch the only tailor at work.

This was the last day of our vacation. Tomorrow we are flying back home. It will be a busy day. My kids are coming home from their vacation too. They went to Cyprus with my mom. Aren’t they lucky?

The next 2 weeks will be packed with catching up and preparing for my next (really big) trip at the end of the month. (More about that later ;-).) So forgive me if I am still not as much around as usual.

I hope you enjoyed my virtual tours through a special part of Europe.

I did so many more. It wasn’t easy to decide which photos… but in the end they are all beautiful 🙂 That’s the good thing about it. You never can go wrong when posting such pictures 😀

The caves are amazing. They drove in each and every cave with us. You would have loved it. The waves got a bit scary when we came close to the rocks…. and the water… I never saw such colors… the photos don’t do any justice!

I should say I am Lucky having gone through GOZO island.
Yes! its a beautiful island.
One thing I don’t understand about Islands, being in the mid of the ocean they are inhabited and they are dressed up so well.
Like other creatures, humans dare to live there and find the place worth living.
And more so you have gone there to show us how nice the place is.
Erika!
Come HOME and relax, have a sigh of having done a good tour.
My salutations to YOU!!!!

You always have such a nice way of sharing your thoughts to my posts. Thakn you, Shiva! Thank you for taking the time and commenting so detailed. I appreciate it a lot! Actually I could relax here… when I am home I have to get into motion to catch up and get prepared for my next trip 😉 But since the kids still are off from school it will be a lot more relaxed than usual 🙂
