Most of the beaches in Malta (and Gozo) are not sandy. They are rocky but not very rough rocky. Fairly smooth sandstone rocky. Usually, I see people laying on the sand taking in the sun. Here people were laying on the rocks! Reminded me of seals that huddle around on a rock for sunshine!

This morning we walked again the same route as last night except this time we took in the whole city by daytime! The water – again, I cannot possible tire of staring at it.

St. Julian’s area was teeming with people and loud music everywhere. I was sure there was some kind of festivities going on. I pulled one young guy aside and asked “Is there some celebrations going on or is it like this every Saturday?”

“It is like this every Saturday”, he assured me!

We are now in Tas Sliema. Beautiful weather. Even more beautiful walk by the water (Balluta Bay).
