## Corrections to claims found elsewhere

- No boat ticket includes the Blue Lagoon landing booking: it is free and booked separately by each visitor.
- The Comino ferry leaves from Marfa or Cirkewwa in the north of Malta, not from Sliema.
- The Blue Lagoon (Comino) is not the Blue Grotto (south coast of Malta) and not Iceland's Blue Lagoon spa.
