Day Nine – Trip to Comino and Blue Lagoon

4 Sep 2018

We were all interested in doing a boat trip to Comino and Blue Lagoon which is next to Gozo. Larry volunteered to organise the trip. He made the arrangements with a tour company in Paceville. We were all ready at 9am and we made it to the tour company. There were 12 of us. It was going to be a hot day and we were prepared a day of swimming and wallowing in the waters of the Blue Lagoon. We were all then ushered to a bus stop and boarded one of the hop-on-hop-off tour buses for a ride to Sliema. Sliema is where all the tour boats depart on various trips.

We were early. We boarded the boat and waited a while before the trip began. Drinks including beer and wine were included in the package we had. It was a pleasant boat ride and we got to see Malta and her shoreline from the sea.

We booked ourselves on a power boat trip that would take us into the grottos around Comino.

The Blue Lagoon. Packed with people and not a beach space in sight. You pay for umbrellas and beach space. Area is surrounded by rocks.
We decided to swim off our boat. It was more pleasant and less chaotic. It was a wise decision.
