Malta-1
Għadira to Buġibba Square via Xemxija - 10th February 2023
The weather gods shone a little on me this morning – after the mini-hurricane yesterday – granting me a window from 7 a.m. to approximately 1 p.m. where the chance of rain fell to 40%. Though they refused to let me keep my hat on.
I came wilfully unprepared on this trip, sacrificing in order to just have hand luggage and manage the necessary, much faster, transfer between terminals at Heathrow. I had picked a place to shop but the weather shut it all down.
Anyway, as is the case in most tourist isles, any scrap of reasonable beach is developed beyond any sense of reason. Having said that, the first part of this walk took me up into the cliffs and hills above Għadira and, apart from the first mile, I saw not a soul for the next five. Bliss.
