To Gozo

Today we moved to Gozo, the NW island in the Maltese archipelago, to our accommodation in Marsalforn on the north coast


We crossed to Gozo by ferry


Passing the back of the blue lagoon on Comino Island


Mgarr port area Gozo


We are staying in an apartment right on the seafront in the middle of the restaurant strip



It was lunchtime when we arrived. The problem was which restaurant to eat at!


After lunch it was time for a swim. It was 31 degrees


Problem was the harbour had lots of mauve stingers, the same ones as on our boat trip 



We walked past the small harbour


But too many jellyfish that side, so we went the other way, past some old fishermenn’s Caverns in the rock surrounds of the harbour 



We found a spot for a quick swim/snorkel 



But even here there was little of underwater interest, just small fish in the Neptune grass


And the jellyfish were even in this small rock pool 



We had pre dinner drinks in front of our apartment, Gozo cheese and Gozo Cabernet Sauvignon 


The sea was dead calm 



Then dinner at our hosts recommended restaurant, free appertiser


Fairs, local pizza, with Maltese sausage etc, pear and blue cheese salad with a local lemon infused olive oil and a Gozo rose wine 



Back home for people watching and Gozo limoncello
