In reply to H.P. Baxxter. Looks like there's no way out once you're stuck on that route! Must be hellish especially in summer.

I was about to suggest “the Aylan point” but it might hurt his loved ones.

In reply to Daphne Caruana Galizia. Not a significant change, but there is a certain quaint charm to Gozo. In any case, to the detriment of humanity, I do enjoy the ferry trip and the driving about more than I do Gozo itself.

In reply to jo vella. Many of the people crossing over to Gozo can afford to take a year off work and a road trip halfway round the world.

If driving to Cirkewwa and catching the ferry is stressful to you, I’d love to know what your average day is like.

In reply to Neil Dent. Would humanity be better off if it didn't find pleasure in the little things like taking a trip to Gozo? Lighten up.

If you can afford it, yes.

Yes, but it’s the transition from the metropolis of New York City to the relatively rural coastal area.

Spending the weekend in ebbug, Gozo when you live in Zebbug, Malta is hardly a change, is it.

I agree with you completely. In summer, there is a better choice of beaches (outside August) but that’s about it.

A trip to Gozo is worth ten thousand Ryanair flights…..and for the reasons you state? Heq grander raging mela. Enjoy Gozo for eternity – Definitely your loss.
