Gozo; Sunday, 18 January, 2015

Breakfast completed and all checked out of the hotel I caught the bus over to Xaghra to visit the stunning pre-historic site of Ggantija.

After a long time looking round the ruins of this 5,600 year old temple I headed over the road to the other key sight in the town the Ta’ Kola windmill to have a look round there, then a quick visit to the nearby Ninu’s cave, located beneath someone’s house.

I arrived back at the bus stop just in time to catch the bus down into Rabat and changed there onto another bus out to Ramla Bay where I went for a long wander along the beautiful red sands.

Then it was back on the bus towards Mgarr, getting off in the town in the hills above to have a quick look round and then over to Fort Chambray to have a view of the small amount of Roman fort still remaining and to take in the view of the harbour.

By now it was starting to get late so I wandered down the hill into Mgarr and over to the hotel to pick up my luggage then a quick walk back down to the harbour got me to the ferry just in time to make the 15:45 departure.

Back in Cirkewwa it was a short wait for the bus that then took me back all the way to the Airport, even if it did mean getting frequent scares from the Maltese Sunday drivers.
