Malta - I am home!
... was born in Australia, love the country and possess a deep sense of pride in my nationality I also enjoy a similar connection with Malta. I guess that is an advantage of being born of migrant parents after they migrated! Beyond this I also gain a certain ...
The Red Tower

Lazy day in Sliema

Go to Gozo
... inside, wondering what we would find here. It's not long before we see the kind of scenery that I was expecting on Malta - dramatic cliffs falling into the sea, with small, approachable bays set back from the Mediterranean blue waters. Our first stop ...

Middle of the Med
... 3. GOZO: The trip to the island of Gozo proved that we should have spent our entire trip out on the smaller, 'secondary' island to Malta. The crowds were never big, but they were nearly non-existing on Gozo. We spent the morning at the Inland Sea - an ...
Malta, MT
... at The Sportsman's Motel/Espresso bar. As you can see amenities even included a beautiful above ground pool, over looking Malta's very own grain storage warehouse. The central location included easy access to a Dairy Queen, train tracks and an ...

Retracing my roots
... spend the remainder of my time on the big island relaxing and working my way through the book I'd purchased, The Kappillan of Malta, by Nicholas Monsarrat. It gave a detailed insight into the hardships faced by ordinary Maltese during WWII, and thus also ...
The Silent City
... as I was doing well for time I decided to try and find the cart ruts. These are one of the biggest mysteries of Malta's prehistoric period. In places where bare limestone is exposed, parallel grooves can often be found, usually about 1.5m apart and up ...
Adventures on a tiny island...

A good piece of advice
... sunbathing for an hour or so. I followed another road back up the hill to Xaghra, which offered more incredible views. Whilst Malta had the history, Gozo certainly matched it with scenery, and I was glad I'd followed Mario's advice and headed west from ...
