Malta
... else, we are just looking forward to time together just to relax and take things as they come. Picking up our hire car at Malta airport was really funny - the man behind the desk really couldn't have cared less - you might want to take a look at the ...
hoho
Today we have tickets for the hoho bus, apparntly the new bus system is having problems so this seemed the best bet. We walk up to the top where the stop is and find the road all barricaded off. Not looking good for getting on a bus here, so there are ...

Last day in Malta.
... enough of the science lesson! The end result was a fantastic display of archaeological relics and yet another surprising aspect of Malta that I did not know. Following that we went to a craft village and this place was pretty impressive. There were a ...
Paceville
... soul! Svetlana told me that Wednesday night (tonight) is the first big night of the week at Paceville, the nightlife capital of Malta. I mentioned earlier that she has planned a big night on Friday with some of her friends but I thought I would take ...
Malta II
... in the future, you can be sure that I have died, but in an interesting and stupid way. :) Yesterday I went to the MTV Malta music concert with about 50000 people packed into Floriana. I didn't particularly like the music, but the atmosphere was good so I ...
Highs and Lows
... , it feels like a dime-a-dozen type of place, with no distinguishing characteristics that would lead you to believe you were even in Malta. But I still wouldn't classify that as being bad ... In fact, I wouldn't say that we found anything bad today, ...
I am officially Maltese.
... with one another again and it is something that I did not consider I would have the opportunity to do before I set out for Malta. I have even become known by some of the local people who seem to visit the convent each morning to see whether the nuns are ...
My brother Nicholas.
... beach with Olga, she is leaving tomorrow night which is not great but we are enjoying the time we have together whilst we are in Malta. My Maltese lessons are going well, today I bought some things to go some way to paying my way at my Aunties house and ...
Malta III
... to Gozo. The boat was huge so I had no seasickness issues. Gozo is really beautiful and much less populated then Malta. Calypso's cave had a great view though I couldn't enter due to risk of collapse. The ancient megalithic stone strucures at ggantija ...
Exploring Gozo
... of it. The trip is only about 30 minutes. I didn't realize that the land that seems like it could be another peninsula of Malta is actually Comino, and beyond that is Gozo. It's really not much distance at all. I'd guess 1km of sea between each island. ...
Going Flat Out In Malta
... . I think at one point we had argued over whos turn it was to wear it. Heaps of fun for all! I have been in Malta for seven days now and havenīt really stopped drinking. When i arrived at the airport i remember looking out the window and being ...
Quiet Day in Sliema
... pretty sure I left my dreams and thoughts from this morning in my wake. Today, the 21st of September is the celebration of Malta's Independence from British rule, hence a public holiday. To be honest there was not a lot of difference in Sliema where I ...
Pretty gardens!!
... aloud on and its all old historical looking buildings with advertising everywhere!! Actually that is how i would describe all of Malta - "Old, Historical with adverts everywhere!!" We also went into the Grand Master's Palace and Armoury but couldn't take ...
Golden Bay & Ghajn Tuffieha
In my first 10 days on the main island of Malta I had managed to tick off many of the places that I had pencilled in when planning the trip thumbing through my trusty Lonely Planet guide back home. It is a surreal process spending hours reading, ...
Malta!!!
... on it." He stormed off in a huff and some Hungarian women went off on him for being a prick. What a welcome to Malta! Trust me though, everyone else I have come in contact with is just absolutely warm and nice. I flew on both EasyJet ...
TSS: Day 3
I didn't make it up for the sunrise this morning either. I did get up early and was at breakfast by 7:30, only to realize that no one goes to breakfast that early. So I ate alone, went ...
On The Rock!
... we always intended to pay them all a visit here on the rock in the Mediterranean and so glad we didn't slack off and not come. Malta is only tiny (just reached 400,000 people) but it is a groovin nation. Lots going on as we have found out and lots of ...
My last day...
... life's journey. Well this is me signing off from my journal and a wonderful month spent on the Mediterranean islands of Malta and Sicily. I needed this holiday, and whilst travelling on your own is sometimes a poor reflection on the social state of ...
Dedicated to a friend.
... in London had been abysmal and I was not keen to spend 1 week of my precious time in dreary surroundings like that, especially when Malta had been such a haven for me. Something clicked in my mind during my run and I had decided upon the destination of my ...
Oldest Ruins on Earth
The Hibernia House is more of a dormitory for students studying English here in Malta. The 'room' I'm staying in is more like an area for 24 residents staying a month or less. I met a couple of British guys who are studying to be surgeons who are doing a ...
Oslo - Gozo
... who know me, know what I chose. I sped through the Maltese landscape with my very own chaffeur, only minutes after landing on Malta. The ferry over to Gozo takes only 30 minutes or so and the ferries are huge as well as inexpensive!! Not many people ...
GOLDEN GRAND HARBOUR, MALTA
We left Marzamemi at 7am and reached Malta at 1730. A crossing of 68nm starting with a calm sea and then increased swell followed by turbulent waters with increased wind of 22knots against us to end it and Dunkolu slamming into the waves until we ...
We made it!!
... , Cypus but we weren't aloud to get off the plane so we just sat there for about 1 hour and then were on our way to Malta!! We were finally there!! Lots of tears (Mum and Nana!) and hugs and kisses from what was the strangers!!! Bec and I were in a ...

Island Adventure: Malta 4
Hi Everyone! After such a long tour day, we decided to take it easy. A short walk and coffee in the hotel lobby filled up the morning. I had an interesting lunch at a Chinese restaurant. It was buffet style, but different than the buffet style I'm ...
Make the Mosta it
Another leisurely start to the day and then we amble over to Mosta. Mosta is most famous for the Rotunda - which is a huge circular shaped church, boasting the third largest unsupported dome in the world. It's very easy to find since it can be seen for ...
Malta - Making New Friends
... to him. And Joe has the stories to prove it, which he will gladly share with you in great detail over a beer. Strategically located, Malta has held the world's attention since the days of the crusading knights (the Knights of Malta). As a child, Joe was ...
Tombs, Temples and Tasty crepes
... violated - but hey, we haven't had a collision yet and that in itself is an art form! The Hypogeum is one of Malta's most important historical sites. It is an underground temple and was discovered in 1902 when workers building new houses dug down to ...
