Today we hired loungers and beach umbrellas (as they do here) and spent several hours at Golden Bay – the sand is a golden colour though somewhat marred by numerous cigarette butts. The sea was as blue as ever and refreshing for swimmers. On our way to a rather late lunch I jumped out for a quick look at “Sweetpea Village” where the 1980 Popeye movie was filmed- very cute! Matt and Kat “won” 1,200 pound of travel vouchers once we had endured a session with a timeshare man – we’ll see if they are any use long term!
We enjoyed a final dinner in Malta with Matt and Kat down on the waterfront – very nice local wine, pasta and gelato from a favourite shop as we wandered back dodging the sprinkles of rain! Back to Italy tomorrow, where we hire a car and brave those roads and drivers. We plan to stay in the country regions of Umbria and Tuscany rather than the big cities.

Sounds all very relaxing!!! Here I was thinking the 25odd degrees we got the other day down here was warm! Glad to hear your enjoying your galavanting!
