... self rule now, but it means nothing, as the European Union calls the shots.
We made many stops to enjoy the view and learn about the various forts. At one point we boarded little boats that looked rather like gondolas, six to a boat, and toured the harbor. Our guide was great. We discussed politics, health care and taxes. He is not happy with the EU. Qaddafi offered Malta oil at $10/barrel, forever ...
I've just popped over to Malta for a day & 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).
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).
Anyway, I'll keep this blog short so ciao for now!

... his home there. Every day at 12.00pm the military perform a cannon fire salute, Robyn reckons she had prepared herself for it, but nearly jumped out of her skin when it actually happened. When we visited another church with the largest dome in the city we meet a lovely 86 year old Maltese man sitting as a guardian at the door. He found we were from NZ and proceeded to tell us how he had fought with the British against the Germans and Italians in ...
Malta, Malta sewtersojourns... without her. She speaks no English and I’m starting to envision the scenario when she is left behind. She didn’t want to come with us because she was tired after the Montserrat tour and she was already mad at Juju for bringing her. I run back to the cathedral where Juju last saw her and I come back without finding her. Somehow she just shows up a few minutes later. Later we head to a museum and into a theater to hear ...
Valletta, Island of Malta, Malta hiwhthi... transportation to all 3 sights and return to Valletta. A great value (€22). Once I returned to Valletta, I decided to follow my initial plan and walk around the old town looking at the architecture. It is truly fascinating that many buildings seem to have been there forever and it is even more so now that I have seen how much destruction was inflicted on the ...
Valletta, Island of Malta, Malta elaqidPOLSKI: Kochani, chcialam Wam wszystkim zlozyc zyczenia zdrowych, snieznych i pieknych Swiat, spedzonych w rodzinnym gronie. No i Bardzo Szczesliwego Nowego Roku 2009! Oby przyniosl same pozytywy... Wlasnie wyszlam z imprezy bozonarodzeniowej. Pierwszy raz Wigilie spedzam w barze... Najpierw jednak udalo mi sie zobaczyc kawalek Malty (w ciagu dnia) - bardzo ladna, jeszcze tam wroce! Potem polaczylam sie przez skype`a z Mamutkiem i Karolem. W tamtej chwili ...
Malta, Malta bogna... considering the location and the duopoly situation. The overall topography of the BL was interesting with cliffs and falls and we were perched on a fall with the tiniest of openings to the lagoon. The whole experience was unbelievable and one that will last quite sometime for us. Then it was time to bid farewell to the highlight of this trip for us. We took the return ferry at 2:30pm which took a slight detour to show us the incredible caves of Comino and sail through ...
Comin, Malta omkar... in Malta, and I hope my photos do them justice. I walked to the highest peak between the two bays, the wind was howling, the waves crashing against the rocks far below, and I felt alive! Whilst it was sunny it was pretty windy but nothing was going to stop me swimming in those waters, it was special and I wont forget today for a long time. I hopped back onto a rickety old bus and took the 40 minute journey back to Sliema. I failed to mention it before but the trip was worth ...
Golden Bay, Malta andrew.galea... around her 'hood. WHAT. but it was still cool. Then of course we stopped to try traditional Lenten bread, made w/o extra sugar (just a ton of honey or something instead) because people genearlly give up sweets for Lent. Also tried these little fig and date bars, seasoned with things like cinnamon and lemon. sooooo goooood. I also explored Valletta, the current capital of Malta. To get there you ride on these seriously vintage yellow ...
Mosta, Malta ashygag... and traded with all the surrounding islands and then just disappear. I guess they are not the only ones to pull that one since the Indus valley civilization did the same. If only I could have a device that allowed me to watch what happened to all these civilizations and all the ones we haven't found yet. It is also sad that the Maltese didn't really care for this prehistory until recently and had done little to preserve it. It was not until ...
