Fort-Chambray, Gozo, Malta – August 2012



12 days (August 8 to 20) – 7th time for me; 6th for Cynthia.
Weather, always sunny, with a few clouds, sometimes; 28 to 30Centigrade (80-85F). More humid than in June (last year) though…
Well established daily routine; running (6 to 7 laps; 30-35 min) and swimming (avg. 15 laps) every day, then alternatively, early in the morning. Healthy eating. Down at least 8 pounds.
Week of Immaculate Conception (August 15). Santa Marija, patron saint of Victoria. Major feast and traditional fireworks. Decided to pass – celebration much same as in Nadur for their feast which we attended last year. Lots of bell ringing, we noticed more this year. There are “only” 5 churches we can see from Fort-Chambray!
Planning to be back in December this year. Putting the flat on the market for rental while not here (few web platforms, plus local agent).  
Dinner “al fresco” at Tatita’s in St-Lawrenz, hosting Carol and Michael. Second time there. Very good. Reviewed for Trip Advisor.
