Exploring Malta
Views from Marfa Ridge
Oct 11th
It's possible to see all the way to Baħrija from Marfa Ridge
Marfa Ridge is a classic spot to go to when we have friends here. I really like the view from here. It’s possible to see all the way to Baħrija from here, if you look hard enough.

Sightseeing with Kalle and Frippe
Oct 11th
Cars outside Mellieha
We drove north today and just outside Mellieha they had some kind of car racing competition. We stopped to take a look, but unfortunately the race just finished. I took some pictures of the view instead.
Nice view over the valley
Checking the view from Il-Fawwara, near Dingli cliffs
Oct 4th
Dingli cliffs was the next viewpoint on our sightseeing tour with Aida and Frippe. Just on the side of Dingli cliffs is Il-Fawwara, a place a like a lot. It’s peace and quiet there and amazing views over cliffs and the sea. This is a good spot to watch the sunset from.
Today I noticed something I haven’t seen on my previous visits to Il-Fawwara: the word NAZAE written in stones in a short piece of stone wall. I’ve googled it, but can not find any explanations.

Another thing I noticed for the first time today is that you can see the white tent protecting the megalithic temple Ħaġar Qim from here.

The police station in Għar Lapsi is so cute!
Oh, a balcony… just what I expected to find on the cliff side

Interesting spot for a balcony
Blue Grotto
Oct 4th
Blue Grotto
In the afternoon we took 2 of our collegues from Sweden (Aida and Frippe) for a sightseeing tour to the south side of the island. First we went to Blue Grotto and took some photos from the viewpoint just opposite the cave. Between Blue Grotto and Filfla island they are drilling for oil.

Utsikt från Mdina – Ta’Qali stadium och Mostas kyrka
Sep 22nd
Framåt kvällen åkte vi till Mdina, Kalle, mamma, Lasse och jag. Är så himla mysigt att gå i gränderna på kvällen. Är fint att titta på utsikten också.
Vi åt middag på en restaurang utanför murarna.
Heldag vid Blue Lagoon på Comino
Sep 21st
Idag tog mamma, Lasse och jag en tur till ön Comino som ligger mellan Malta och Gozo.
Vi tog bussen til Cirkewwa och därifrån båt ut till ön. Men vi fick vänta i över en timme på bussen. En efter en åkte de förbi – fullastade!
Det var mycket småfisk i vattnet trots alla som badade. Jättemysigt att snorkla!
På väg hem…
På hemvägen fick vi åka förbi några grottor.

Ser trevligt ut 
Är det tillåtet att ta sig in i grottorna?
Båttur till Blue Grotto
Sep 20th
Visst var det fint, men båtturen vi gjorde på Gozo vid Azure window var både bättre och billigare!
Dessutom blåste det ganska mycket, så vi trodde nog hela högen att vi skulle trilla i plurret…
