Commotion outside our hotel at breakfast as a concrete mixer blocks the road to start working on a building after a 2 year delay
The striking view from our hotel room window
Today we walk uphill from our hotel past this rock face eith It-Toqba Ta'Krista - cavity of Jesus Christ to you and me
A herd of goats scramble up the hillside
Where the women do the family washing - would go down well in Stroud
Pretty garden
Looking back down to the coast
Plenty of agriculture round here
And strange plants
Even Bananas
A sad reminder of the local sport of hunting migrating birds
Now in Kercem - lovely balconies
Interesting number plate
And road sign
Looking inland
Colourful windows
A line of date palms
As we head along the road
More strange vegetation and Ramblers
Views out to sea
The only pond on the island
Cliff tops with bird shooting shelters
The path meanders on
Paths on Gozo are in good condition
Blue and white and yellow and red flowers
And of course stunning coastal scenery
Slightly different flowers
Following in line astern
Round a lagoon
And along a rough path
The yellow wildflowers disappear and are replaced by purple ones
To another fort, the Dwejra Tower - built 1652
Where we look down on the inland sea
And other views
And open top buses visiting the Azure Window - no longer there, destroyed in a storm
Taking photos of ourselves for the leaders' page?
But the wind is a bit strong
Although the background is striking
And we all manage a smile
Or at least a grimace
Last one
Looking down the coast
Before heading down to the inland sea for lunch
The waves coming in
And you can see right through
Heading uphill
More towering cliffs
And a different view back along the coast
Our path passing under sandstone cliffs
Pausing when we reach the top
Our destination, San Lawrence, on the horizon
Or have we come to the wrong place?
