Laferla cross …well almost

We came to the parking lot close to Laferla Cross, but we ran out of time and had to leave immediately. But I managed to take this picture over the view from the parking lot anyway.
Nice view from the parking lot

Għajn Tuffieħa Tower is a fortification that stands on the cliffs overlooking the shore at Għajn Tuffieħa Bay on the north west coast of Malta. It is one of Lascaris towers that Grand Master Juan de Lascaris-Castellar of the the Knights of Malta ordered be built (1637). A watchtower, it was originally armed with a half pounder gun and garrisoned by four men.

Telephone lines in the view - me not like
The estate agent wanted us to look at the other apartments in the building in Baħrija where we’ve been looking at the penthouse. It is bigger and cheaper. But there is only a small balcony on the front and the view is no longer unobstructed. There are power lines or telephone lines just above the horizon. Those lines would drive me crazy every day when I look at the view…
Chelle and Isak were with us so they also saw the flat in Baħrija. They thought we should go for the penthouse. 
Spinola Bay

Today I passed by Spinola Bay and took this picture. Most photos I have from this area is either in bright sunshine or from the evenings with all lights on. But this is what it looks like a cloudy day. Not to bad I think.

It's possible to see all the way to Baħrija from Marfa Ridge
Marfa Ridge is a classic spot to go to when we have friends here. I really like the view from here. It’s possible to see all the way to Baħrija from here, if you look hard enough.

Cars outside Mellieha
We drove north today and just outside Mellieha they had some kind of car racing competition. We stopped to take a look, but unfortunately the race just finished. I took some pictures of the view instead.
Nice view over the valley
Could this be the one?

We’ve seen a few more flats and penthouses today and we finally found something that could work.
We want a “breathtaking, unobstructed view”, large terrace with evening sun, peace and quiet and it must be a good area for walking Gizmo.
So, this penthouse shell we saw today is situated in Baħrija, a small village far away from stress, people, noise. I felt very relaxed out here and the there is a large open space just outside the house where we can let Gizmo run free. The view are really nice and I would probably have my pentax ready at all times, to capture the beauty.
The penthouse has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms (main + en-suite), combined kitchen/dining/living with a large terrace. From the terrace the view over Comino and Gozo is fantastic. There is also a small area that could be a good spot for a washing machine. On the back there is a smaller balcony/terrace with sun all day long.

Checking the view from Il-Fawwara, near Dingli cliffs
05527 days
Dingli cliffs was the next viewpoint on our sightseeing tour with Aida and Frippe. Just on the side of Dingli cliffs is Il-Fawwara, a place a like a lot. It’s peace and quiet there and amazing views over cliffs and the sea. This is a good spot to watch the sunset from.
Today I noticed something I haven’t seen on my previous visits to Il-Fawwara: the word NAZAE written in stones in a short piece of stone wall. I’ve googled it, but can not find any explanations.

Another thing I noticed for the first time today is that you can see the white tent protecting the megalithic temple Ħaġar Qim from here.
