In Gozo the lady working at the Tourist information office right by the harbour, sold me a guided tour of the island in less than 3 minutes.. I was not sure it was a good deal, but I had only few hours and wanted to see as much as I could. Well, I had a very good time! Paul, the guide, drove me (and others) up and down the island, telling us all he knew about Malta, its history, language and culture.
We started from Victoria and its citadel, moving then to the salt pans and Marsalform, stopping at Calypso’s cave and then having a look at the fourth biggest dome in the world. Our journey ended at the “Belvedere view”: a breath taking view of the 3 islands of Malta: Gozo, Comino and Malta (of course!).
And as if that hadn’t been enough, on the way back to Malta on the ferry, I had the chance of seeing the sun falling asleep on the sea and the moon taking its place in a sky shading from bright pink to pure white the into clear and and then deep blue. Not a cloud was spoiling such an elegant and magnificient work of nature.
