Xlendi and Xaghra

In my last Gozo post I described how we spent the morning of Day 4, with a visit to the polyclinic and pea cakes in the square.

After picking up my daughter's prescription we retired to the pool to relax.

Once the sun moved around and the pool was in shade, Rebecca went inside for a nap and John, Prentice and I went to Xlendi for a swim.

Xlendi Bay is a popular swimming, snorkelling and diving area. There is a very small sandy beach leading into shallow waters but many, like us, choose to swim in the deeper water off the long stretch of rocks bordering the beach. The water is

The village itself is pretty small, even by Gozo standards. In fact the number of roads listed in Xlendi, in Wikipedia, total just 20!

There is the "front" as shown in the picture below, a few restaurants at the side between my feet in the top picture and the "front" (for an example see my first post listed below) and a few restaurants on the road leading into town.

There are a couple of grocery shops and then the residential streets mentioned. Apart from these that is about it.

After our swim we went back to the villa to change and get ready for dinner.

We went to a place called 'The Hideaway' in Xaghra which does very tasty, cheap food.

We had a lovely evening sitting outside.

This was our view . .

While we were eating we saw lots of lightning flashes and heard a couple of rolls of thunder but, for now, the storm stayed in the distance.

The calm didn't last though as you will find out in my next Gozo post. 😁
