Malta is very small. You can cross the island in 30 minutes. When I saw the map I thought that Gozo, the biggest Island on the North of Malta, was very far from St. Paul’s Bay. In fact, it’s 20 minutes by boat. The bus, full of tourists, brought us to the small port from where the boats leave to Gozo. The thing that struck us at the entrance of the boat was the mess between cars and foot passengers who were taking the boat. The smell of diesel and fear to be run over by cars chased us away to the deck. During the trip we were admiring the blue sea and panorama of Rabat with its churches, buildings and rocks. The highlight we wanted to see were the fortifications on the highest point of the island. It was like a long labyrinth with prison and some cannons. Then we took a taxi and we did a visit of the entire island. At the end of our tour we arrived at Ramla bay, one of the most beautiful beaches in Malta.
