Looking forward to retiring in Gozo, too!
Post by Dee’s husband Michael Owen, participant in the blog competition of the Kempinski Hotel San Lawrenz, and contender for the prize of a weekend break (photos added by us):
Visiting Gozo and the big island was one of the best holidays ever. Even though it took three days to get there from Panama, Central America, and considerable cash, it was well worth the trip. Having rented a car, we were able to explore the whole island and take in the breathtaking views and buildings.
We rented a third floor flat in Marsalforn and it served as a good base to explore. The bay and coastline were incredible. A little windy but this only made for spectacular wave action crashing against the rocks and depositing salt in the pans.
We watched a local band performing down at the seafront and they were as good as any we had heard in the past. (Maybe with the exception of Pink Floyd.)
The people of Gozo are so friendly and helpful giving good advice and directions when we got just a little lost (kind of hard to do). We met Gozo Mark and attended a huge boot sale. The rest of the time just visiting churches, landmarks and just about every tourist attraction.
We hope to return soon and experience a different time of year to give us an idea of what to expect when we finally re-locate to Malta.
