5 Carries Flat Marsalforn

I've just popped over to Malta for a day &amp; a bit (as you do!) to say a quick hello / goodbye to my parents (and bring them lots of goodies over for the last time in a while).<br><br>The weather is a little warmer than the UK, but not as warm as it's going to be in a week's time (ha ha ha).<br><br>Anyway, I'll keep this blog short so ciao for now!<br><br>Anita x

... them all by replying to their greetings in Maori and had great satisfaction at silencing them even if only for a few seconds.<br><br>Malta<br><br>We really enjoyed this beautiful city again with its imposing huge brick city walls. We visited a cathedral which was last reconstructed in 1700. Legend has it that Publio, who was a Rome governor at the time of Saint Paul&#8217;s reign in Malta and who later became the first Bishop of Malta, used to ...

... history of Malta, and head back on the bus to the ship before 2:30.<br><br> At dinner Jenny tells us that she and nine other people were abandoned by their tour guide in Malta, so they ended up taking a cab back to the boat. I doubt the parents would have thought to do that if they were lost; we probably would have ended up yelling at each other and in the process get robbed. I am so lucky to have survived another day on this trip.<br><br>

... assignment. I'm actually looking forward to the Family Psych, Media Psych, and Contemporary Fiction papers because I'll be discussing things I enjoy talking about: feminist issues and Brit lit. :) The only assignment I'm really concerned with is the American Studies paper. I still don't have a topic and this has been the most vague of all the vagaries handed out by these professors. When asked about the topic, he simply said, think of ...

... museum was that it was a working museum, it was a work in progress, it was not finished yet. In the first building there are display cases, and the main exhibits are set up in an orderly fashion with descriptions, but there are also miscellaneous parts laid under the planes and along the walls. Then if you go into the back room (and you can, there are even description panels), you can see several planes/parts of planes that they are currently restoring, as well as work tables ...

... the sun was shining and it was about 80 degrees - so I wasn't complaining. After a great breakfast, we headed over to the pool, which overlooked the Mediterranean coast and enjoyed a few hours of sunbathing, pool games, etc... They even had tents set up with massage therapists and tarot card readers (in separate tents - but nevertheless I thought this was a strange combination!). Eventually, we had to check out, get showered and head ...

... down the hill to Marsalforn, with spectacular views along the way. At one point Victoria's citadel could be clearly seen between two other hills, as well as a large statue of Christ on a hill just outside Marsalforn. I planned to head out that way for a closer look, but later changed my mind as I decided to spend the day on the coast. Marsalforn was a nice little town, less bustling and hectic than Marsaxlokk and Marsaskala in Malta, but that may have been due to the fact it was a ...

... whilst the local council was digging the preparations for a new road. The archaeological teams moved in and over the next few decades they would uncover an amazing array of artefacts dating back to the 1st century BC. Entire marble statues, kitchen utensils and mosaic tiles were uncovered from the wealthy Roman family that lived here all in amazing condition. The Maltese government had gotten this particular tourist attraction right when they built a replica of the villa next to the site ...

... and weight immediately. By the time we'd finished eating on the bench in front of somebody's house, it looked like a couple of dogs had a fight over a bowl full of pasta there, and I was wearing some of our food. An old lady smiled at us from the window as we got up to leave, but when she stepped out later to see her front porch, she probably threw a curse or two our way. On we walked, to Gigantija, the oldest free-standing structure in the ...

... t think that was really a hard dish to make. Whatever, we ended up walking to Paceville and going to a karaoke bar for a while. But they had no pool sticks so we left to go to a internet cafe which had tables. Played 3 games and on our way out, Florence discovered a Roulette machine. He played for about 30 mins with the help of Michael and went from 0.2 Lira to 5 Lira. Not too bad. He collected and we went back to the hostel and to bed.
