Today's walk starts from Victoria, capital of Gozo, where strange trees grow
No comment!
We walk up the road to the Citadel
Which towers over the town
Getting out into the country
We are reminded that this was once part of the Empire
Soon reaching the small town of Ghasri
Crossing a small river
That must be Ta Ghammar
The church in front of us
We pause in front of the police station
Wonder if that would pass its MOT
Continuing through Ghasri
Reaching the Church at Zebbug
With its splendid approach
Statues
Mosaics
Of Bible stories
Abstracts on the back
EU-funded, it says on the sign
Another statue of a farmer
The face very expressive
The bridge over the Wied Ksajje
Not much sign of the river
Still in the town
With its ancient buildings
And football supporters
Net curtains - another "in-joke", revealed in the next newsletter!
We continue down to the sea
Different wildflowers
The replacement for the Azure Window
Walking along the cliff tops
On a wide track
We reach a narrow inlet
Another lizard
Pebbles underfoot
Chance for a dip
Sally holding the rock up
As we pause for lunch and to get the energy to go back up the steps
Looking down on the inlet
Then heading back along the cliffs
Salt flats and other strange structures
Stretching out before us
Sandstone cliffs hollowed out to make shelters
Salt forming
Peter taking a photo
Fossil in the rock
At work in the salt pans
Il Bajja fortress in the distance
So much for man's best friend
And man's most popular pastime
As we head into Marsalforn and the end of our walk
