The view or two from my "office"

The back of the Ġgantija 'temples', Gozo. 3,600-3,200 years old ( Neolithic).
To the right, Rotunda St John the Baptist church, mid 20th century. The 74 m dome is the third highest in the world and taller than St Paul’s in London. it serves the tiny community of Xewkija.

Only another 75 days to go before I get to Malta.
 
I’m on my way home after five and a half months of cruising the world. Qantas First Lounge at LAX. Lallier is the bubbly on ice. The grilled squid was tender and delicious, and the buffalo mozzarella, prosciutto, mint, basil and stone fruit salad had the most delicious raspberry dressing. Finger licking good! I even ate all the arugula stalks.

I'd better finish my trip report before then, then. 😊. Are you going to Victoria on Gozo? If so you’ll probably have your accommodation already booked but PM me if you want a suggestion for a really really good place that might be an alternative.

Already have an airbnb at 8 Old Bakery St Valletta booked for the 5 days. Gozo is defiantly on the list as a full day trip. Also have our tickets to Hypogeum. The only downfall..... flying Ryanair FCO-MLA-FCO

I would like to go there one day, aside from the superb collection of small Ford cars (they drive on the correct side of the road), it was also the filming locations for Madame Blanc Mysteries, set in France, but filmed on Gozo.
