After the Storm …

Woke this morning to bright sunshine and no wind! Welcome back Summer!

A short hop across the street to the convenience store took me in the middle of the streets entertainment for the day

The penthouse apartment residents were shifting house! This is how they do it here…. a crane lifter with a platform and down to an open truck with wire cages! Obviously an event as all the neighbours were out watching and providing advice (loudly).

Quite a production!

Russ and I collected Kev and Sal and headed south to St Thomas Bay – for coffee and a swim! Usually a flat calm inlet where you can either swim off the rocks or from a small sandy beach!

Not so today

The surfers were out – yes you can surf in Malta! About a 6ft wave rolling in and crashing of the rocks. I guess a hangover from the recent storms! And rather magnificent!

Sat at a cafe on the point in the searing sunshine! Waiting for our coffee Kev got a little hot!

The trusty sarong – a coat of many uses and providing colour to the day! I promised no Facebook post but the blog wasn’t mentioned!

We wandered around the rocks towards the sandy beach which was piled about a meter high with seaweed driven in by the waves. Only option was to leap off the rocks and roll with the waves. Floating, rolling and cooling off – it was fun! Especially for the Parisian (Sal) who hadn’t seen the sea for a while.

Tummy’s rumbling after all this exercise, a short hop back to Marsakala for lunch – a NZ beef Steak!

Sally’s lunch! A very pleasant time beaching, eating and drinking had by all.
