Malta   sandy beach with big waves. better to hang out than rocky beach of Malta. 2024-09-11 WED playing with waves. I loved to visit  Tal-Mixta Cave  because of the scenic view, the uphill was so stiff that we couldn't even ride our e-bikes. So we just turned around and headed to Ramla beach nearby. lesson learend : DO NOT STICK TO BIKES AND CONSIDER DRIVING Entrance to the beach. Was not lucky enough to encounter them. The wooden floor was very convenient so that you don't have to walk on sands, and it's a little far to the bathing area. Renting umbrella was 5 EUR, which is not expensive at all especially compared to Korea. There is a shop near the entrance, where you can buy drinks and snacks.  In the main island Malta, we can find sea water everywhere, but it's mostly rocky. The sand beach with big waves was much better to hang out in that sense. Probably only in Gozo. back to Malta (2024.9)

10 Triq Il Knisja, Ix-Xagħra XRA 1010, Malta  I loved the atmosphere in a small plaza with church. However, the pasta was too salty for us, and pork cheeks were crubmly, probably just a matter of persnal taste. 2024-09-11 WED Lunch in the town after  It-Tempji tal-Ġgantija There are not many restaurants in Gozo except major towns such as Victoria, so I decided to eat lunch near the museum. I wanted to eat in  Latini Restaurant Xaghra Gozo , but the staff said that they close early for the day for some reason.  It may be too late if we fail again, so we just had a table in a restaurant nearby. The view from outdoor tables with  Xaghra Parish Church , was pretty nice. They had only one or two tables left, so we have much choice but to sit in a table barely shaded from the sunlight. This may be when I learned the word 'mocktail'. Ginger Ale 2.5 Glass Local White 2.95 Cisk Pint 4 She went for seafood pasta as usual. After I tried rabbit arancini at  Medina , I ...

Triq John Otto Bayer, Ix-Xagħra, Malta   Educational museum where you can learn the geography and history of Gozo. If you're not interested in these, you may skip to Ramla Bay Beach. 2024-09-11 WED Archaeologicla museum. 10:10 After picking up our e-bike near the port, we headed to the Ggantija temple. I'm not a big fan of museum, but it was kinda on the way to Ramla Bay, and one educational experience for a day seemed ok.  At this point, I had to return the stupid e-bikes and rent something else like a quad. 11:10 After one hour of yet fun riding, we've arrived in the museum.  Ggantija Temples "These represent one of the most important archaeological sites on the Maltese Islands and are included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. The site consists of two temples dating back to between 3600 and 3200 BC. The name Ggantija derived from the word 'ggant', Maltese for giant, is Gozitans used to believe the temples were built by a race of giants..." Before entra...
