The islands off the main island, that was our plan on the fourth day. While we were in the planning stage, we had considered taking the ferry from the northern tip of the island – Cirkewwa, but then we decided to be a little lazy, and arranged a tour with Hornblower Cruises for Comino Blue Lagoon and Gozo.
We were picked up on time from the hotel on time and dropped somewhere near the Bugibba area where the boat was docked. The trip began at 10.30 and as we progressed, we realised that leaving ourselves uncovered from knee-down wasn’t a great idea. Thankfully, from the infinite innards of her handbag, D pulled out a shawl and the journey became much more pleasant!
The boat hugged the coast at the start, passing St. Pauls Islands and the statue of St. Pauls, and then briefly halting at the Ahrax Caves. The shades of water were simply amazing.
