After breakfast, I caught the bus from Marsalforn back to Victoria and had a brief look around the Citadella. It was really too hot to do much walking around so I wandered back down to the bus terminus and caught the bus to Dwejra.
Dwejra has a few notable sites, the main one of which is the Azure Window, an arch rock formation. Along the cliffs is also a hidden bay, the 'inland sea' where fishermen shelter to this day. I took a boat trip out from the inland sea though a crack in the cliff and out to the sea proper. The Azure Window is very striking and the diving in this area is meant to be fantastic. Further along the coast is the Fungus Rock, which used to be covered in fungus and mushrooms that were picked by the Knights of St John and used for medicine.
The scenery was quite spectacular but I didn't do any swimming as I couldn't be bothered changing and clambering across the rocks into the water.
Caught the bus back to Victoria and attempted to do some blogging in an internet cafe, but the connections were pretty bad, and I lost a bit of what i was trying to do. Met an Australian woman who was on her first holiday abroad on her own and very keen to talk to people! Her family was originally from Malta so she was interested to see what it was like - surprisingly she didn't have any family left on Malta, they had all immigrated to Australia.
Went back to Marsalforn and had a lovely swim in the bay - the sun was out until about 7.30 so it was wonderful to relax.
