Wied Iz-Zurrieq

The weather in Malta in April is already warm outside although it is very windy. However, inside the limestone houses it is still cold. Therefore, it is really tempting to spend a lot of time outside on the move. Today we had a nice walk to Wied Iz-Zurrieq. It is a small rocky beach at the South of Malta. There are a few restaurants and some tourist shops. You also see a lot of divers with their equipment. In addition, there is a small bay with some luzzu boats and boat owners driving the tourists to the nearby Blue Grotto. There were surprisingly many people. Stephen and me walked down to the rocky beach, found ourselves a non windy corner and stopped to have a picnic. Maypole - a small store in Zurrieq - makes really good pastries. We munched away an apple tartlet while watching the boats pass by. It was nice to relax there, watch the sea, read a bit and enjoy the sun when it came out of the clouds. Eventually we were feeling a bit too chilly to stay sitting down and ventured on our long walk back home.
