A day off from walking today as we were off to a small island close by called Comino Island. No need to wear the walking boots as it was a day for swimming from a sandy beach. The majority of beaches are rocky outcrops on Gozo so I was looking forward to being able to walk out into the sea, We had to get two buses to the port where we would get a ferry for the short journey across to Comino.
You have to get a timed pass (either am or pm) to go onto the island. I assumed this would restrict numbers on the small island but that didn't seem to happen.
This postage stamp sized beach was 'the sandy beach' which was not what I had envisaged at all.
Once you managed to squeeze through the crowds the water was warm and a delight for swimming. I only wish I had brought goggles with me as there were so many different kinds of fish swimming between us. Above the beach there were a number of fast food and drink outlets which detracted from the beauty of the island. I wouldn't be tempted to return but I did enjoy the swimming.
The ferry back to Gozo took us round the island to see some of the caves.
Once back on Gozo we decided to get a taxi back to the hotel rather than two buses. A very welcome rest day today.
