-Not the best day for going with the ferry. That’s what I crossed my mind when we were waiting for departure at Cirkewwa. The waves were not huge, but big enough for the ferry to sway from one side to the other. It was a nice boat trip to Gozo anyway, and we came to Mgarr harbour without any problems.

Last stop for the day was Dingli cliffs. Unfortunately it was raining when we got there and the clouds were really low, so there wasn’t much of a view either.

On our way to Lapsi View Bar & Restaurant

We are getting hungry and decides to try one of the restaurants in Għar Lapsi. The first one was full and we would have to wait half an hour. That’s no good, so we went to the other restaurant instead.

While we were eating, it got darker outside and it started to rain.

Flood in Birżebbuġa

When we were done shopping at the market in Marsaxlokk, we continued through Birżebbuġa on our way to the Blue Grotto. There was a flood at the same place as when we drow by with my mother and Lasse in September.

A lot of water... wonder if we can drive through with the car?

It was a lot of people here this sunday, more than usual. I guess it had something to do with the Christmas parade and entertainment! The kids were really good at dancing and the younger kids were so cute! :-)

Sliema-Valletta Ferry

This was actually the first time I took the ferry to Sliema. It was much better than taking the bus, so I definitely do it again.
