Malta - St Peter's Pool

We had a quiet start to the day (Tuesday), with Sophie and Will catching up on their travel blogs and me getting through some washing. After lunch, we walked down to the tourist information office to find out about Independence Day activities tomorrow and then walked on near Delimara Power Station to St Peters Pool (approx. 3km). We borrowed the masks and snorkels from our accommodation and found some fish and soft corals and sponges. Then Sophie and Will spent most of the afternoon jumping off the rocks into the pool. The highlights were seeing Titty, the jumping dog [https://www.facebook.com/Tittithedog/] and watching some people attempt slack rope walking across a section of the pool! John is seriously considering doing a PADI scuba course with Sophie and Will over the summer holidays.

Farewell to St Peters Pool

At least Will doesn't check the sting on his cheek like he did with the nettles in Japan
