PHOTO GALLERY:
6 hours walk along the Eastern Coast of Gozo
March 2004


Page Description

Map of Eastern part of Gozo
This photogallery consists of many photos from a holiday to Gozo that I and my girlfriend Malin did between 18-21 March 2004. The photos are mostly taken for a special planned event that is a long walk of about 12-14km we made around the Eastern Coast of Gozo with our friends Simone camilleri and her boyfriend Piotr from Ludz. (click on icon to view the way we walked on a large detailed map). The walk started from Hondoq ir-rummien, to Ras il-Qala, ghar dorf, Dahlet Qorrot, San Blas, Mistra Rocks, ir-Ramla, and finally Marsalforn. This walk took us 6 hours, and was a mixture of exercise, adventure, wonderful views and fun.

This particular page contains 10 photos taken during the walk from Dahlet Qorrot to the Mistra Rocks as indicated in the map here. For each photo below, there is a brief text explaining the photo. Names are taken from a map. Also one can click on the photo to view a large format high resolution photo (1500x1100 / about 300kb filesize) or click on the text-link below every photo to view a medium sized compressed photo (1000x750 / 120kb filesize). Enjoy this photogallery which involved so much work and time [MarZ]

The path suddenly got tougher and less easy to surpass. At this part of our voyage there were some tree trunks and several branches. The pat was also uneven, sometime we had to hang down, and sometimes climb up a meter or two. Here is Malin in a n-shaped trunk of an old tree.

Another tree making our way more difficult. Malin is amazed by some mushrooms growing on the bark of the tree trunk. Beside this tree there was an area of charcoal and burned branches which my fantasy went to imagine that there was a thunder strike at this spot.

Once we surpassed the trees and wild vegetation, the way was becoming more rocky. We were approaching the Mistra rocks, which Piotr claimed that it was the hardest part of our voyage.

A cute little opening in the rocks filled with the blue green sea. Another good example for an isolated private swim - if you owe a boat of course.

Along our way the rocks where gradually 'growing' larger and more numerous. So far we had no much problem to walk along the rocks.

However, after several metres, the way did not remain easy, we had to climb and jump on some rocks. We have just arrived at the hardest part of our voyage hence the rocky terrain of Mistra Rocks. There was a certain level of danger becasue one, being uncareful for an instant, may easily slip or fall and gets well hurt on the sharp rocks. Well the hardest part of the adventure begins - Good Luck for us!

The rocks were really massive and huge as it can be seen in this photo. Although we did not need to make any cliff hanging, the way was very tough and you must take care on every step you do.

I think here started the hardest part. We had to walk very carefully along numerous large rocks. We left it to Piotr to lead the best way along this perilous part. I wonder how some plants manage to grow along these rocks.
