Today we went to Għejn Tuffieħa, also known as Golden Bay with my cousin Noel. It was an interesting drive. We passed where they grow the produce. We had lunch at AGiOLIO which is right beside the beach. I had a bbq chicken pizza, and Joe had one with rocket leaves, Parma ham, and had Parmesan shavings on top. It was soooo good. The pizzas are thin crust, and delicious!
We stopped for coffee at a place in Birgu called Riviera del la Marina. We had our usual espresso and cappuccino. It was nice to sit and talk with all sorts of boats docked near by.
For supper, we went to a little place called Rampila. It wasn't far from the hotel so Joe wouldn't get exhausted walking. We ordered a platter with buffalo mozzarella, tomatoes, and rocket leaves. Rocket leaves are like arugula. For our mains, Joe had rabbit again and I had pork fillets filled with Brie, sun-dried tomato, and asparagus. Joe liked the rabbit, and said it tasted better than the one he had yesterday. It looked like they gave him a whole rabbit! The pork didn't really have the flavour of the pork we get in Canada. The pork was probably raised here, so it would obviously have a different taste. We couldn't believe the price of the water. If we had known, we wouldn't have had two bottles at €5 per bottle that was 750mL! Water in Valletta is expensive, even in the little grocer on the main stretch. I thought €1 for a 2L bottle was steep!
We had lots of adventures today :)
Ċaw!
