Mixjiet fil-kampanja - translation below

Kull meta tfittex xi haga dwar Ghawdex dejjem tiltaqa' ma' l-istampa tax-Xatt (L-Imgarr) bil-vapur t'Ghawdex, il-jottijiet u xi erba' dghajjes tas-sajjieda. Xena sabiha, veru, imma dik hi biss il-bieb ta' barra.

Ghawdex hu perfett ghal dawk li jhobbu jimxu. Is-servizz ta' transport pubbliku jezisti imma ... Insomma, f'Ghawdex issib ukoll hafna aktar kampanja minn Malta u l-mixjiet fil-kampanja qed, kull ma jmur, jsiru aktar popolari. Il-problema hi li hafna ghelieqi huma propjeta privata ghalhekk tajjeb li zzomm mal-moghdija mhux tghaffeg fil-hamrija. Fi zmien il-kacca hemm cans kbir taqla' xi tir comb. Problema ohra hi li Ghawdex fih hafna gholjiet, ghalkemm jghidulu l-gzira ta' tliet gholjiet (biss).

L-ahjar zmien biex timxi hu r-rebbiegha. Il-harifa u x-xitwa tajbin ukoll sakemm ma tkunx xita. Fis-sajf tinharaq wahda sew. Sigar kbar ma ssibx hlief xi harruba imma dejjem tista' timxi ma' xatt il-bahar. L-aktar fit-Tramuntana u l-Lvant fejn tista' tghum fl-istess hin. Il-bqija tal-kosta hi rdumijiet.

Xi kunsilli lokali Ghawdxin hejjew jew qed ihejju mapep u gwidi dwar mixjiet fil-kampanja Ghawdxija.

Country walks - translation of above

Whenever one looks for information about Gozo one often sees the picture of Mgarr Harbour with the Gozo ferry, the yachts and a couple of fishing boats. A quaint picture, true, but that is just the front door.

Gozo is perfect for those who love walking. Public transport exists but... Anyway, in Gozo there is more natural environment than Malta and country walks are progressively becoming more popular. One problem is that most fields are private property so keeping to the path is advisable rather than walking on the soil. In the hunting seasons there is a greater probability of getting hit by leadshot. Another problem is that Gozo is quite hilly, although it's called the Island of (just) the Three Hills.

The best time for a walk is spring. Autumn and winter are pleasant too if it's not raining. In summer you might get severely sunburnt. Huge trees are scarce except for a solitary carob tree but still you can always walk along the coast. Especially the North and Eastern parts where you can also swim at the same time. The rest of the coast is cliffs.

Some Gozitan local councils have prepared or are preparing maps and guides of Gozo country walks.

    The written form of your Mother Tongue is WAY COOL! Those double consonants and all the X's make me want to hear you speak this unique language!

    Your written language looks very strange for me. What group of languages it belongs to (Romance or is similar to Albanian..)?

    I love to see the Maltese language written down - it seems to have so many zz's and xx's! Marion.
