From Qbajjar over Zebbug to Rabat
Post by Ann Fenech, participant in the blog competition of the Kempinski Hotel San Lawrenz, and contender for the prize of a weekend break (photos added by us):
Living abroad, I cannot make it there as often as I would like. However, I still make sure to skip over to Gozo whenever I am visiting the islands.
Spring in Gozo is particularly gorgeous… particularly the peace and quiet away from the summer crowds. The season is also perfect for walking. My favourite trek is from Qbajjar, where my aunt has an apartment at our disposal.
From then on to Zebbug by walking along the coast and up a (steep, steep!) hill – but there are so many good vantage points on the land beneath you that no one will mind stopping for ‘a few photos’ on the way 
And then on to Rabat, approaching the Citadel from behind. What wonderful views! From the blue sea and saltpans, to green landscapes with people working in their fields and on to the majestic limestone bastions of Citadel rising in front of you: a veritable kaleidoscope of colours that will truly soothe your senses.
By the end of the trek you definitely deserve some pastizzi (ricotta is my favourite 
) and a refreshing bottle of Kinnie (beer wouldn’t go amiss either). After a relaxing sit-down watching life go by you in some tiny bar or other, the last leg of the journey is a trip back home on one of the iconic grey and red buses.
The question should not be what I like about Gozo, but why ever don’t I spend more time there!
