Travels

We had kept this day aside to be a beach day. It turned out that this was a national holiday, which meant that the beaches would be crowded. Anyway, after the usual coffee, Internet and pipe we got ready to get to the best sandy beach at Mellieha Bay. As expected, the beach was fully crowded. Based on information from a person at the hotel found our way to Anchor Bay. This too was crowded but it was more inviting. Bebo got a chance to romp in the waters of the Mediterranean as we sipped a drink. European beaches are usually far more crowded than in America and they are not as sandy. There was little surf too since these were all Bays and not facing the open ocean. Bebo was done in about an hour and then we headed out to the Red Fort, an old fort on a high ground. Got a superb view of the bays which we took in and eventually drove over to Mellieha where we had dinner at a Latin restaurant, the food and service was good. On the way back to the hotel stopped in a small town to look at an old church from the outside. Eventually got back to the hotel the early-afternoon and spent the afternoon in the pool. After a shower walked around St. Julian and had dinner at one of the numerous street side café’s The food was quite good and finally we called it a day. This was a relaxed day and most of the time was spent around water. Srijoy enjoyed it a lot.
