Dear fellow geocacher,
How are you today? I really hope you will find this cache quite a good challenge to solve at night or during the day. I will not tell you if it is a tube, a box, or an ammo case or just a nano! Nor if it is hidden or can be seen in clear eyesight.
You can take a visit at the Blue Grotto, a natural arch and cave not very far from ‘Wied iz-Zurrieq’. The area is very beautiful for a nice walk along the countryside. The path from upstairs will get you ‘zig-zaging’ down the road to a last viewpoint. I will give you as much information possible.
No more than three streets are found down here. One shop sells souvenirs, gold and ceramic figures. To take a refreshing drink you can enjoy a beer at one of the six or seven restaurants. Or just have a good meal with the best views of our smallest island ‘Filfla’. Remember that you may go up again so do not eat too much!
Do not worry about the coordinates! Take ten minutes rest on the benches! The sea birds around here are usually Seaguls and Shearwaters or sometimes Storm Petrel. You can see over one hundred different kind of birds in this area during migration. Six or seven of the twenty six plants growing in the surroundings are endemic. Twenty nine species of butterflies visit the area during most of the Spring season, while two endemic species live on ‘Filfla’.
‘Filfla’ was used as a target for military practices until 1971 and became a bird reserve in January 1980. The only known structure on ‘Filfla’ is a chapel built in 1343. No other structures are known to have been built on it! On its Westerly direction is another smaller island known as ‘Filfoletta’. Even today, military unexploded shells are still found oftenly around the island’s sea area.
One of the most two largest great white sharks caught was captured down here. Over five point nine metres long!
Now it's time for the cache. I must say this one will not be easy!
Good luck.
Always yours,
