What a beautiful vlog of Mtarfa coastal area Steve 🌊🛥🏩☀🎥 . Wow the place keeps changing & looking different! Memories : Whilst on night shift 👮 @ old Mtarfa PS (then situated @ Musa Battery) one Summer, early 70s, the AFM patrol boat came in and berthed at that old jetty 🛥 . On going over for a chat I was invited onboard to join them for dinner - pan fried freshly caught Lampuki & chips 😋. Unforgettable! Those were the good old days 😊. THANKS for sharing good man 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Cheers 👍 🇲🇹 ♥ 🇪🇺 ©. ..

Sounds great my friend lampuki and chips ..heaven !! you really live it up on your night shift ?

My parents bought a 25 year lease on a timeshare apartment at Ramla bay in the mid-80s and we used to go there every MAY for up to a month at time( or do 2 wks and let friends or family have the other 2 wks) all through my childhood.Great memories!! Cheers for uploading.👍👍👍

The Gozo ferry used to come in at Marfa when I was. Kid. We used to go to Marfa ex few times every summer, loved diving into that clear water where the ferry came in, not when the ferry was there of course. A long long time ago in the 60’s. Great video, thanks for bringing it all back .

Yes in 1992, we went back around three more times but it changed some how didn't seem so good, then, we stayed at the panorama hotel the top of the hill near to the church , we had some lovely holidays there, but it went down hill after a time, why this happen i don't know, so then we stayed in a villa in gozo.x

Hi Steve , thanks for the memories , I stayed a month at the hotel at the end of the video , I forget what its name was though , very quiet apart from when they started doing disco`s at that big hotel complex over the water , went on till two or three in the morning . If you wanted to catch the bus into Valletta say , it was advisable to walk up to the ferry terminal , you could nearly always guarantee a seat , but if you caught it at the bus stop just around the corner you`d end up standing all the way , packed like sardines .

I had seen the 'Ramla Bay Resort' last time I was in Malta on the way to the Gozo ferry. I don't recall what it used to look like, yet it sure looked big in 2019. Malta has plenty of horse stables yet I see none listed in that area. Maybe a private stable. Gozo has at least two great horse stables as well. One is called 'Lino Stables', it's in Xaghra, Gozo, and the other one is called 'Dreams of Horses Farm' it's also in Xagħra, Gozo. Did you know that there is a 'Ramla Bay' in Gozo as well?

[@emanuelfarrugia4821]

@@EnglishmaninMalta Ramla Bay in gozo has a very unique sand, it looks a bright golden orange color, yet the wetter part of the sand does look red. I have not seen that in real life yet I have seen it in photos. In 2019 I was 2.7 kilometers away from Ramla Bay in gozo when I was in Nadur, yet I never had the time to visit it. Ramla Bay in gozo is northern eastern Gozo as you know.

[@alanmercieca3086]

@@EnglishmaninMalta I don't ever recall riding horses in the Maltese Islands. Yet I have ridden horses in the USA, I think that you'd like it if you choose a good horse stables that is prepared to actually teach you rather than just looking to rent horses to you. I myself would choose horse riding in Gozo if I did horse riding during my stay in Malta. The great views, the less sounds of society, yet you may hear a rooster or clay shooting going on, I myself love Xaghra, Gozo where the horse stables are, those two horse stables are well known for teaching, and being kind. It's nowhere near as developed as Malta as I am sure you know, They have a very nice church in Xaghra, Gozo as well.
