We're on our way back to Rome after a lovely time in Malta. We had fun rambling around the smaller island of Gozo. A couple of days we got to hike/bike on some trails in the lesser-known parts of the island. The sea caves were cool to see from on top of the cliffs. We got a little nervous a few times riding our bikes so close to the edge. Everyone in Gozo was extremely nice to us...even giving us vegetables from their gardens as we walked by. We'll definitely miss the slow pace of life on the island (especially compared to busy Rome).
Our next adventure is going to be to Abruzzo in mid-March for more hiking and wine tasting. In Abruzzo they make one of our favorite types of wine--Pecorino. No, it doesn't taste like the cheese. It's called that because the shape of the bunch of grapes on the vine looks like the head of sheep. We'll try and take some photos.
Here's a picture of the local Maltese brew. It's a lager. We failed to find any microbreweries on either island.
