On our second day in gozo we went to Ta Mena Winery in Xewkija and visited a family friend Karol (tuta) his nickname means blackberry in Maltese because when he was younger he was playing near a blackberry bush and got covered in them.

We then went to citadella (the old city) and had lunch at Ta Rikkardu on the rooftop , we got a share platter with olives, ġbejniet, sun dried tomatoes, capers and Maltese bread with kunserva (tomato paste).

We walked through the city and found a free art exhibition.
