Friday

Kath was up and out early for her diving and we had made arrangements to meet her near the Blue Grotto after her dive. We hoped to see her surface but that was nearly scuppered by a tedious bus journey for us. We did manage to get there in time and sat and watched the numerous divers jumping in and clambering out, and we were on the lookout for Kath's pink snorkel. I was a bit concerned by the motorboats constantly buzzing past the dive area. Finally up she came happy to have seen starfish, an octopus, a moray eel and a fish which no one could identify.

Once Kath had changed we sat in a small garden area overlooking the sea to eat lunch. Afterwards we walked up to the viewpoint to see the Blue Grotto and catch another bus to the Dingli cliffs. The cliffs were a bit of a disappointment - I had been expecting something like the Cliffs of Moher in Ireland. We caught yet another bus home but this went through the old town of Mdina so we could see the old city and a really long aquaduct.

We sat in the sun on the prom once back in Sliema and had a lovely cocktail.

Just in front of the boat there are bubbles from a diver - far too close for my liking.
