Not much going on today. We ended up canceling our trip to Ramla Bay. The tour guides didn't have much to say about it so we decided that it might be nicer to stay at the hotel and just hang out by the pool rather than be stuck for 4 hours on a beach where we can't get into the water.
Tonight, we had dinner in the Cabana restaurant by the pool. It was a warm evening and they had a singer who was accompanied by a guitar player for the entertainment. He was really good and covered songs by Pink Floyd, Eric Clapton, Dave Mathews, Snow Patrol, The Beatles, etc. We ended up ordering a bottle of wine after dinner and just listening to him play. He was really good.
Tonight is our last night in Gozo. Tomorrow, we are taking a taxi to the ancient ruins of Ggantija and then moving to the Hilton in St. Julian's on Malta. I chose San Lawrenz and St. Julian's as our two destinations because they are in sharp contrast with each other. St. Julian's is supposed to be as lively and bustling as San Lawrenz is slow and relaxing. We are still hoping to be able to take a day trip to Sicily while there.
Overall, we would highly recommend Gozo to anyone who is looking to relax and unwind. It is a beautiful island and the Kempinski Hotel is very nice. The breakfast buffets are included in the cost and are to die for! The hotel staff is very friendly and helpful and the rooms are very clean and quiet (except for the occasional naked German lady on the adjoining deck who is clammering to get back into her room).
