Margaret prepares to relax on our Ryanair flight which left and arrived in Malta on time
The blow-up pillow seems to work
Leaving the harbour on Malta
We pass close to Comino with its fort
The entrance to the Blue Lagoon
And plenty of rugged cliffs
Gozo getting closer over the bow
As we pass the ferry coming the other way
Nearing the harbour at Mgarr on Gozo
After settling into our hotel, some of us explore Xlendi
The bay has several busy bars - today is a National holiday
We wander around the coastline
Our first sight of the amazing wildflowers we are going to encounter
A huge variety, including this thistle
But yellow the dominant colour
