Bongu (good morning) Gozo

Left Birgu this morning, cab to the ferry terminal at Cirkewwa, and a 25-minute ferry trip to Gozo.  When you depart Malta you don't need to buy a ticket or even have a boarding pass...you just queue, follow the procession of people and on you go.  On the return trip, you need to pay for the crossing before departing Gozo.

Although there seemed to be quite a crowd, the queue moved quickly and the access to the ferry was via pathways and an escalator...a wonderful surprise for those of us with suitcases!  No lifting required!  We found a table and chairs in the cafeteria at the front of the boat, and we were on our way in no time at all.  Smooth.

We knew we would be too early to check in, but the owner of our accommodation in Gozo was happy for us to leave our suitcases at the house.  From the ferry terminal we caught a cab to Piazza Savina, a square close to our accommodation, and then we navigated our way on foot through the narrow streets to our new abode.  Met the owner - David, who gave us a key, we left the suitcases and headed off for a wander-lunch-wander until David let us know the house was ready.
