Gozo trip 6/23

This morning we began our day with a long bus ride to Ċirkewwa to catch the ferry to Gozo. As a group we hiked up to a tradition Maltese restaurant with an absolutely beautiful view of the islands. When we arrived an extremely kind Maltese man offered to show us how to play boċċi. It is apparently a very popular and traditional game in Malta and Gozo so much so you can almost find a club in every city.

After our meal we ventured to the Citadel. Which was the center of Gozo's  administrative work as well as its military and religious life. The fortress featured a beautiful Cathedral, courts, the Bishop’s Palace, a prison, multiple museums and an amazing view of the island and ocean.
