Ancient Malta and water!

SPRING CLEANING ALMOST DONE
Blog update 7th April 2013 Kalkara Creek Marina, Malta Hi to all still reading this blog. Tomorrow we have been in Malta for one month (including one week UK visit) and the wind has blown hard most days though the sun has been shining too. When ...
Underground
... been wonderful, with this tiny island nation far exceeding our expectations in nearly every way possible. It's funny how Malta was little more than an afterthought during the planning stages, chosen mainly because of its proximity to Sicily. ...
Day 2 - Mellieha
... my first real brush with the locals. My uncle in Australia, Freddy, like most ex-pats had a large family still living in Malta and apparently there were a few young female relatives of his that would be keen to show me around, sounded interesting. One in ...
Gozo!
... historical buildings, the affable Maltese people and the stunning Mediterranean swimming spots. We drove to the top right corner of Malta, then boarded a ferry (in our car) which makes the 20 minute journey to and from Gozo throughout the day. We ...
Farewell to Malta.
... we are taking time out to enjoy the island and tonight we are being very touristy and going to see a dinner show called Malta Nights. I remember going to something similar in Florida where they did a jousting competition in the arena while we all ...

Arriving in Malta
... island well, because there doesn't seem to be any of the typical weathering you see in coastal cities. Culture After the war, Malta became a protectorate of the United Kingdom. I believe they gained independence in 1964. This said, I think the culture is ...
I almost rode a seahorse
Still happy here on Gozo! I`ve seen a lot of the island now (it`s tiny.) Being a diver, they drive you all over the island to either launch a boat or for you to gear up on some remote location, walk to shore with your equipment before you jump off into ...
Malta
... very interesting and touching. Malta has been invaded countless times in history! We then had a tour of the knights of malta hospitallers which was also interesting. Later i had traditional Bragioli for lunch which was sliced beef wrapped around bacon ...
St Paul's Bay
... the rocks use to be along the shore line. It is a fun place with lots to do but it has no resemblance to traditional and historical Malta that I have grown to love so far. I did strip down and have a swim in the bay however, it was something I wanted to ...
Walk Along the Ta'Cenc Cliffs
... We took the bus out to the far southwest corner of the island, a place called Xlendi Bay. I've been wanting to see a decent beach in Malta (or Gozo) and I was really pumped up about it. The bay is a short corridor in from the sea. The beach is really a ...
Driving on the lefthand side...
... I relaxed there for a few hours before going to a small village called Quala, where you can look over to Comino and Malta. There`s also a tiny beach there, with white sand. It`s lovely, and you`ll have it all to yourself since not many ...
The silent city
... a hillside and being in the centre of the island, is pretty much recognisable for miles around. It used to be the old capital of Malta, but nowadays it is called the silent city - for it is a weave of narrow back alleys and streets and only residents are ...
A Family Holiday in Malta
... everywhere. Another day, dad and I decided to go and see the set from the Popeye movie. It seemed easy enough to get to, Malta's bus system is wonderful. Just two quick bus rides and we would be there. Well, what we didn't know was that the second bus ...

Blue
... weren't desperate enough to resort to sampling the hotel buffet's sad-looking ice cream selection. Of course, it may also be because we've found a new addiction in Malta - Bajtra, a Maltese prickly pear liqueur - so sweet, and soooooo good ...
Disney Mediterranean Cruise: Malta = Small
... on and on about the fact that Malta was SO SMALL At one point, she was discussing football (soccer) and she said that Malta got to play Italy or something. And that they lost, but not by too much and that they were so proud just to be ...
go go to gozo
Doing a tour to Gozo today, wanted only a small group but by the time we had all been bussed up to the departure point for the ferry there was 38, nice and cosy, not! Anyway met a nice man that is staying at our hotel, he is from Wakefield ...
The Maltese experience
... at home. Our transfer driver collected us and we saw some of the sights as we headed toward Paceville where our apartment is. Malta looks a lot older than I expected, with a Mediterranean feel. I admit I am not a fan of Paceville as it appears similar to ...

Meandering around
... going up one hill and it was almost like driving up a waterfall. The sea is much rougher today, with waves crashing against Malta's rocky coastline - it looks much wilder. We drove down as far as Sliema and then started winding our way back along the ...
Magical Day.
Sometimes you have those days that you don't want to end. Days where you would like life to just pass you by and leave you where you are. To enjoy the moment forever. I call these magical days. Some are lucky enough to have a lot of these sorts of days ...
Vittoriosa
... favourite swimming spot and have an early morning swim. I planned to go to Vittoriosa today, one of the famous "3 cities" of Malta. Vittoriosa is a walled city perched on a peninsula on the other side of Valletta from where I was staying in Sliema. Like ...
