While in Malta last month, we spent a couple of days on the smaller, quieter island of Gozo. We opted out of car rental and took the public bus instead, which worked just fine for us on the first day. On the second day we hired a private taxi and driver for five hours, which we shared with one of our couchsurfing hosts and a Finnish guy I’d met in Xewkija the day before. At €50 between the four of us, it was an efficient and economical way to get around the island.
One of the places we visited on Day 2 was Marsalforn, a little resort town on the north side of the island. Their bay was pummeled by waves whipped up by the strong winds that day. While the sun was blazing, the sea was ferocious against the sea wall — a sight to behold!

Our Finnish cohort decided to take on the walkway in the bay. You can probably guess what happened… (click to enlarge thumbnails; hit escape key to return to the post)
Of the four of us, I was the only one to explore further afield, and was rewarded by some interesting rock formations around the corner. The rest missed out!
