IanEvening all! So it was my friend’s birthday today, and she decided that she wanted to go on a boat trip to the Blue Lagoon and Gozo. Follow along with me as we explore!
We started the day by driving to the port where the boat would be sailing from; they had a strict boarding time, so we left early. Surprisingly, parking was a breeze! We were able to park on the side of the road for free, which is unheard of in the UK!
We had to run to the shop quickly because it was windy, and my friend wanted a hoodie. I also grabbed some sun cream as I didn’t have any. In the end, my friend loved the hoodie and my Mum wanted one too!
Our first stop on the tour was the Blue Lagoon, which was awesome! The water was the bluest I have ever seen, and the view was stunning, with a little hike! It was awesome! You could swim in there, but we decided not to! It was amazing!
Our next stop was Gozo, and we first stopped at the cathedral, which was awesome and very majestic! It was steeped in history, and it felt special to be there and realise all the history that had taken place years ago!
The next stop was the church, and it was awesome! There were a lot of symbolic things to see, and you really felt like you were in the House of god.
We spent a good 30 minutes just in awe at the church! We only had about 2 hours and 30 minutes in Gozo, which wasn’t really enough! We headed back to the coach that got us back to the boat! There was a LOT of walking, but I guess that will be good for me!
We got back out to sea at sunset, and we got to experience the most majestic sunset I have ever seen. It felt special!
The photo above is one of my favourite sunsets I’ve ever taken! It was amazing! It was a long day and lots of walking, but it was so worth it! By the time we got back to port, it was already dark.
And with that, my friend drove us back to the hotel, where she had a birthday tea, and then she decided to go to Burger.Ink, which was awesome! Once we had finished, we headed to the hotel and enjoyed a cake and a drink. Once we had finished, my friend headed back because she had a family call scheduled. Mum and I headed back to our room, and that finished another stunning day!
Tomorrow we head to Popeye Island, where the movie was filmed. It was recommended to us, so we may as well use our last day there! I also have another massage booked to relax me, ready for the journey home and back to reality! So join me tomorrow for our last full day in Malta!
