We went on a tour to a huge market area which was also a large fishing village (Marsakala).The small fishing boats were abundant and looked well-worn. We had more than enough time at the market since we did not have a shortage of shoes, pjs, ladies’ underwear and just plain junk. The next stop was the Blue Grotto where we went on a small boat in and around caverns where jellyfish
swarmed along with different colors of water. (mostly blue) The cliffs above were being used as fishing perches as well as rock climbing. The water was beginning to become quite choppy as we were ending our excursion, so I was more than happy to disembark our small craft. Next we went to an old walled city (Qrendi) that was walled for security against pirates. The streets were curved and narrow (arrows should shoot straight) and the windows and doors were very small. This was all for the protection of the inhabitants. Our guide was a knight of the Order of Malta. That was pretty neat in itself.
