Crowds gather for our arrival!
Even the local police had to be called in to control the crowds...Well we finally made it to the island of Gozo just off Malta...infact we have been here almost a week so I thought I hade better update the blog...
Firstly thank you to everyone for the splendid send off, the cards, gifts and kind words meant a huge amount to both of us, to have the support and good wishes of so many people help to confirm this is the best thing we have ever done / will ever do!!!
The farmhouse we have rented is just outside the town of Xhagra (pronounced sharah), it overlooks the beach (1/2 hr walk) and has a great pool and terrace...We have only had one small disaster so far, when we managed to lock ourselves out going to bed!! The master bedroom is seperate from the rest of the house, which is slightly strange....still we found ourselves stuck with no keys to get back in the house or into the bedroom.....a kind neighbour let me climb the dividing wall and walk along the top to get back in, I did quite well considering the alcohol intake and felt like spider man!!
The weather here is excellent, sunny and 25 degrees....not one
Welcome to Xhagra
They cant believe I 'm coming to Town! bad day yet!! Sorry, I know you have rain!!
Very little else to report as we have spent most days relaxing by the pool sipping wine and enjoying fresh fish on the BBQ....we have ventured in to Victoria, (the capital) the beach and a few bars / restaurants....exactly the pace we wanted for our first stop!
talk soon
Mark & Sharron
