And just think, Gozo did all this and won all these awards despite not having a landing strip. Take note Joseph!
I love Gozo but what about all the rubbish that is dumped everywhere? I walk 4-6 miles a day on the island and try to return with the car to collect and recycle crap. It is never ending. Arghhhhh.
