After our city experience we decided to go out and broaden our horizons. So we were advised to take the local bus near the school that leaves frequently. The great adventure is that you mustn’t look for the tickets. In the Maltese bus you can buy it on board. The price is similar to the pharmacy’s ones in Russia – with detailed cents (1,16 €). So before taking the bus, prepare your change.

We took only 15 minutes to arrive at the beach. The long wooden stairs led us to the sea. The fist impression we had: finally we found the sandy beach! After three days spent on the rock central beach we were happy to sit down on the hot yellow sand. But than we were surprised: all the water was full of seaweed. It was difficult to go in the water and move on the water’s edge. The beach was dirty of empty bottles and papers. The rubbish was everywhere. After a couple of hours we decided to go back. The last bus left the Bay at 7.15 p.m., so we risked to walk until Bugibba. Fortunately we asked the driver of the bus if he could give us a lift. It was so kind of him to help us. We were very disappointed with our Golden bay experience, but than our Maltese friends explained that it depends on the day: sometimes the wind blows in the beach direction and brings the city’s rubbish.
