We liked the 222 bus so we caught it again to Silema and made our way to Valletta from there. From Valletta we took bus 81 to Marsaxlokk, an incredibly pretty tradtional fishing village. It was very relaxing mooching around in the sunshine, admiring the traditional Luzzu boats being reflected in the glistening blue water. As we looked out at the boats, lots of pairs of friendly Osiris eyes looked back at us :) We decided to continue our relaxing and sat down fo...

Most people were getting it for free with their hop on and off tourist bus tickets. The cruise was stunning...

We caught the bus to Victoria, Gozo's capital. Before we prope...
