The Experience

“Don’t worry, you’ll get the hang of it after the first corner,” our guide Mario grinned, handing me the helmet. I wasn’t exactly confident — my only quad experience was a bumpy ride in Greece years ago — but the engine’s purr kind of settled me. We set off from the pickup point in Malta just as the sun started warming up, crossing over to Gozo by boat. The salt in the air was sharp and clean. Mario led our little convoy through narrow country lanes, past stone farmhouses and fields that looked like patchwork from above. I kept lagging behind to take photos (sorry to whoever was stuck behind me).

The first stop was Dwejra — you could hear the sea before you saw it, crashing against those wild rocks. There was this weird silence between waves, broken only by someone’s laugh echoing off the cliffs. Mario told us about Fungus Rock and how people used to risk their lives for some plant growing there — honestly, I still don’t get why anyone would dangle over that edge for a bit of fungus, but maybe that’s just me. The salt pans were next; we watched an old man scraping crystals into buckets while his grandson chased a crab across the stones. The air smelled faintly metallic and briny — not unpleasant, just… different.

Lunch happened somewhere near Ramla Bay (the “red beach” locals call it). My shoes filled with sand immediately but I didn’t care — we ate simple food at a tiny café where everyone seemed to know Mario. Someone tried speaking Maltese and got a round of applause for effort (I chickened out). Afterward we cooled off by swimming in Ghasri Valley — cold water that made my skin tingle for ages after. The cliffs there are so close together you almost feel hugged by stone.

The last bit was honestly my favorite: back on a private boat heading towards Malta again, we skimmed past Comino’s blue caves with spray hitting our faces. It felt like the day had stretched way longer than it actually had — maybe because every stop had its own rhythm and story. I still think about that salty breeze sometimes when I’m stuck in traffic back home.
