Malta Day 2



The jeep tour of Gozo was very nice and informative.




 Lots of churches



Gozo only has about thirty thousand people on the entire island. In the summer tourism doubles the population. Other than tourism, the main business is agriculture.
This is Calypso's Cave



 
 This is a grain windmill. It was being repaired while we were there.






    
 These are the temples on Gozo from ancient aliens. They have four different chambers and several alters in each. Robby says that they are speculated to be older than Stone Henge.



Coast line. The rocks are full of skeletons of maybe turtles or sand dollars. Gozo only has one sandy beach the rest are this rocky stuffs.  


Azure Window
Almost got splashed by the waves


Gozo's one sandy beach

A lot of these are just pictures of the island. It is a very pretty island, so is Malta. The weather was too windy for the boat tour which when to the blue grotto which I really wanted to see. Gozo is suppose to be famous for honey and sea salt. We got to see the salt plates which in the summer dry out sea salt. 

Gozo doesn't have a university or many businesses and most of the Gozo people have to take the ferry to Malta to work. The ferry is the only way onto the island. There isn't a connecting road or airport.
