A great day in Gozo

On June 2,2010 we took a day trip out to Gozo. Gozo is a slightly smaller island than Malta where the Maltese like to go there for the weekends. You can get there by taking a ferry that goes between Malta and Gozo. The first thing we did when we arrived there was go hiking in Xlendi (pronounced Shlendy). We eventually came to a beach like place, except instead of being covered in sand, it's covered in soft rock that crumbles when you touch it. We also discovered that if you mix it with water, it becomes a clay like substance. Our next stop was a craft village. We stopped at Gozo glass, bought some for some of our friends and family, and looked around at some of the other shops there. I bought a cute little parasol for my American girl dolls before we left for my favorite part of the day. Ramla bay! It's my favorite beach in the whole world, not only because it has alot of rocks scattered around so its easier to make forts, but the sand is a really pretty red color instead of the usual yellowish brown color. We played there for an hour or so and then left for our favorite restaurant on Gozo called Oleanders (we like to call it Olivanders). Another place that we like to visit on Gozo, though we didn't go there on this day trip, is a place called the Azure window. It's a very nice place, especially for those people who really like to clime (like me). I just thought I might as well mention it since we went there the other two times we went to Gozo on this trip.
