Go to Gozo, they said. It’ll be beautiful.

Despite the rain (or maybe because of it), they were right.

Today I took the ferry from the main island of Malta to the second island of Gozo.

A wet, empty blue deck of a ferry on an overcast day, with white cabin structures, railings, and storage boxes lining both sides and a bridge or control cabin visible at the far end. Rain-soaked flooring reflects the grey sky, and rust streaks mark some of the white surfaces.

The village of Mġarr, as seen from the ferry shortly before landing:

A hazy, overcast view across calm harbor water toward the hillside village of Mġarr in Gozo, with sand-colored buildings rising on the slopes and two prominent churches crowned by a spire and a dome on the ridgeline. A marina full of yachts and boats lines the waterfront in the foreground.
