The way was always harder and harder. Our walk was very slow now while we zigzagged along these huge rocks. Sometimes we had to hop between two separated rocks and so we had to be very careful to keep balance. Despite this, I made all my way through these rocks with my camera in my hand. I was risking a lot - but i was always used to this type of exercise.

Finally we surpassed the Mistra rocks and we had a relaxed walk along a small path and flat wasteland with plenty of wild grass. Now we increased or speed so as to reach San Blas bay which was very near and so have our next break.

We arrived at San Blas safely and had another well deserved break. This bay is really beautiful, but small. It is very similar to the most popular sandy beach of Gozo, Ramla l-Hamra, (the reddish Sandy beach) with the advantage that there is usually much more less people, but with the disadvantage that there are no pizza-bars, or shops to buy drinks. Although from Dahlet Qorrot to San Blas was a relatively short distance, it took us more than an hour and a half.

We left the sandy bay, and walked along the sea shore. This Photo is a look-back to the path we have walked to reach to San Blas, and the way we walked from there along the seaside.

We started to climb up, because it was impossible to keep walking by the seaside. I took this picture of this cute bay becasue the day before, I and Malin have walked till here and Malin managed to have a short swim in this paradise. I was was too coward to swim because I felt that the water was too cold. I only dipped one of my feet till the knee.

We walked up the slope accompanying the seaside. The slopes had a carpet of these wonderful red flowers, called groundsel, or more commonly known in Malta as "Silla". This is the most common red wild flower in Malta and is used a lot to feed cattle and rabbits. The slope was quite difficult to climb because the plants where very slippery, and there where other spiny plants too.

Yet another wonderful sandy beach, similar to San Blas and Ramla, but this one is very small and cannot be reached since there are no roads or passages to arrive here easily. Unfortunately there are no names of this site on my map.

Here we arrived near some large golden rocks which lines most of the coastline of this area. Their colour is very similar to the golden sand of the beaches shown in the other photos.

More and more rocks but not very difficult to pass by. We started to climb hills again and leave the coastline. Our walk was now again upon vegetative wasteland, and plenty of wild plants and grass.
