The country of Malta has 3 main islands,  Malta and Gozo are the 2 bigger ones,  Comino has only 3 inhabitants,  and a dog.   Today we joined a trip over to Gozo by bus and ferry. 

  On the island we visited several places of interest.   One of the many Megalythic sites on the islands is Ggantija. There were 2 temples there built between 3600BC and 3000BC, older than the pyramids of Egypt

We visited a place called an inland sea.  There is a huge opening cave from the sea that fills a Lake with salt water.   Small boats then take you out to the sea and into small caves along the coast

Along the same coast, we took a small train (without a track) to visit some salt flats,  some of them dating back to Roman times.  They run along the Rocky coast approximately 3 km

We ended out your in Victoria,  the capital of Gozo, named for Queen Victoria to celebrate her golden jubilee.  St. George’s Basilica,  one of 2 of the island,  in on the center of the old town.

There is a Citadel there from 1515

The views must be wonderful from the top. We just stayed near the base and these were our views of the island towns nearby.

It was a very full day. But enjoyable!
