In 2019 without Covid masks?
6:52 The apartment buildings in the background appear very dark and uninhabited, showcasing an overly dense development.
23:20 And Now, For Something Completely Different…The Larch
I guess you're going to somewhere that starts in G and ends in a ? It's a must and I stayed at the Lantern last year by the way. Popeye are friendly and handy and the Tuna (caught that day) salad from Electra.
What if you jumped in the water and hit a rock underneath, and how do you get back up on land.
Oh yes, I remember you looking for and finding the ruts. Awesome work Gabe!! Many thanks, Jul and family by the Salish sea. Peace ✌🏼 ❤
How did the other people get out of the water.
Just because there are fossils of marine life doesn't mean the water level changed, land level may have done. The med. was dry and the sea broke through at the straits of Gibraltar carving deep channels as billions of litres rushed in. Malta is a top of a mountain
Isnt it dangerous to jump from such a height when you dont know the depth of the water and the surface underneath? Arent you taking a huge risk?
Sublime and beautiful and such a veritable feast .Happy days ❤❤❤
Awesome job on the bike amazing video water looks gorgeous great video ❤
I seen playground for water polo in the sea. It is awesome. There are not a lot of countries where you can play water polo on the beach. Only Croatia, Malta, Montenegro. Many countries have beautiful beaches, but beauty is spoiled by fact that you have not opportunity to play water polo. I never seen playground in the sea in Portugal, Spain, France, Turkey…
Look lot younger after your shave gabriel
Really epic swimming spot! So cool you found it! The picture in your room…it was meant to be!
I could almost feel every muscle aching trying to ride up that hill! You never gave up, even walking the bike up in that heat. Lovely clear water to cool off. Very weird and abstract sculpture. Well deserved Aperol Spritz after the day’s adventure. If they have Lemoncello Spritz that’s nice and refreshing as well. Great video. Thank you and cheers! 🍸
Gabriel you said in s previous vlog you were considering a cruise , how on earth would you cope with so many people at every turn 😂
Great stuff! Xwejni in pronounced Shweyni. Linguistically, the name translates to “a little galleon”. This reflects the bay's maritime history as a past anchorage for ships, as well as pirates who used the location to raid nearby villages. The entire original population of Gozo was taken away into slavery in 1551.
You went from looking 60 to 30 in one video!!!!!!!
Omg you didn't even HAVE TO go up that hill 😭😭
Have you ever or maybe will you ever do like a series where you go from one place to another ie Argentina To Alaska type thing..
What amazing place!,,greetings from Mexico
Malta is my favorite place in Europe. Like you, I only had a day tour of Gozo, so it is nice to see more. I think there was a cave or something on the island that was connected to the Odyssey story.
It's always disappointing to see just how few fish are left in the Mediterranean. They need to start setting up a lot more marine reserves to help build up fish stocks.
Traveller, why are you swimming in a harbour rather than at a beach like normal folk? 🤔
Wow, what a beautiful place! The water looks amazing! Thanks Gabe…..stay hydrated and safe during your travels. ✈️✈️✈️✈️
Beautiful
I Wikipedia'ed Marsalforn and it said it has under 1,000 residents? Looks bigger that that!
I never felt it in my feet, I've never felt it in my soul
But I heard it the alley, now it's in my rock and roll
If you want to know a secret, you got to promise not to tell
If you want to get to Heaven, you got to raise a little Hell
Nice real nice. Thanks Gabriel, Cheers.
It’s beautiful—I just got back from Gozo a few days ago. It’s still one of those places that isn’t crowded even during the summer holidays; aside from maybe Victoria or the more touristy villages, you can still get a sense of what it used to be like, beautiful, old traditional farmhouses. Especially when you are getting inside, you can sense how it was in the past, unforgettable feelings, silence at night, the crowing of roosters, the sounds of nature, the starry sky overhead. It’s a place I’ve been returning to for many, many years. What’s great is that there are trails that take you all the way around the island—I’ve walked almost the entire island . I feel right at home there. The people are friendly and helpful; what bothers me are the fireworks celebrations and the hunting season—the gunfire. But oh well… This place has a rich history; it’s worth exploring the island on your own terms and at your own pace. Even though it’s tiny, every visit feels like the first time. Warm regards
Ooh. Could you show us the Ggantija? Archaeological site, Malta has some amazing Ancient Sites I thinks🎉
E-bikes should not be difficult to pedal. You seem to be putting a lot of effort. There should be a change of speed on it to assist on the hills.
Ouch, you could have passed straight near the salt pans to Wied l'Ghasri 🙃 and yes we can see Sicily but the visibility has to be very good and at early morning in Winter.
01:50 Sea water is surprisingly clean right there in the port area.
4:43 not so crystal clear water. Someone dumped a shoe there and In Malta they pump the untreated sewage right into the Mediterranean.
I wonder what long term travel does to cholesterol levels and tryglicerides and blood pressure.
No pain no gain ❤
