Finally got it working!

I don't know what's wrong with this thing but it hasn't been working for over two months. Of course, I'm not referring to the blog, I'm referring to my initiative. Yep, gotta lot to catch up on so here goes...

We left off in the picturesque village of Xlendi on the Island of Gozo, where during a series of hikes we saw extensive ruins including these terraces. We walked across this arched bridge along this path and up these steps to get to the Xlendi Point Fort at the entrance to Xlendi Bay. The Fort has seen better days but is still pretty much intact. Below the Fort are these salt pans.

The streets of Xlendi are very narrow, and the steps are long and steep.

I did manage to get some shots of the ladies during our hike. Here's all of them togetherand a shot while going down to the grotto. And here's Lori! We passed under this arch to get to and from the grotto.

The laundry service was definitely 18th century but washer man was pleasant enough as long as he got plenty of beer and wine.
