We went on a short bus ride from the village we are staying in, Marslforn, to a geographic wonder know as the Azure Window today. The Azure Window is an incredible rock formation surrounded by a landscape that, I imagine, is similar to the moon. If the moon was also very beautiful and in the Mediterranean Sea. It was absolutely breathtaking. We then continued our journey by walking the several kilometers back to our apartment and stopping at various sights along the way. We stopped at an amazing church in the middle of nowhere, salt pans where seawater is dried to harvest the salt and a gorge that opens into the ocean. It was a busy day, full of wonders and tons of cool things to see. To keep us going during this long walk, we packed our usual snack of nuts and dried fruit and some personal pizzas crammed with veggies. They were also quick to make (the hardest part was chopping veggies and cooking the potatoes) and baked while we were packing up our snorkels, sunscreen and towels.
