Paradise Bay Resort Marfa

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

... Again it had the most amazing city walls, a well preserved Gothic church and a magnificent Cathedral. Ryan&#8217;s neck was quite sore here so we decided to indulge and take a horse and cart ride around all the old cobble streets of the city, in every city since, when we see a horse and cart, Ryan declares he has a sore neck!!!!!! We so understand why many of the British population choose this distination as a holiday destination.<br><br>Tunisia ...

... wake-up call, I carefully slouch as I sit up so I don&#8217;t bump my head against the ceiling. I climb down the ladder to go to the bathroom and this time I remember to lock the door before I start taking a shower. Still, Dad fidgets with the latch outside. "It&#8217;s urgent!!" he shouts. <br><br> By 8:00am the ship arrives in Malta while we are eating breakfast at the Garden Buffet. When I look through the window I see the sun ...

... from Europe and will never see the island away from the resort areas or Valletta. It's a shame because this place is pretty amazing as are the people. Help is never more than a question away and people go out of their way to make sure you get where you need to go. On my way back to the hostel I got off the bus where I thought I had boarded it and ended up wandering around for 30 minutes. Let's just say I was exploring new streets rather than ...

... that looks like a fort. To the left, stood an old watchtower built by the Knights to provide security and advance warning to the population in case of invasion. I had to walk over there and get up close and personal! Another place I would have liked to spend more time. Below, I had a good perspective of the sea and it looked so inviting. Several backpackers were walking back up. I bet they had a good time down ...

POLSKI: Dzis jest mi juz duzo lepiej niz wczoraj. Wigilia to w Polsce najwazniejszy moment Swiat. Na Zachodzie, a takze na statku, najwiekszy obiad je sie w pierwszy dzien Swiat. Dzis mialam z czego wybierac. Mimo nocy formalnej, udalo nam sie przesmyknac na stolowke i zjesc te pysznosci. Moze nie byly takie jak w Polsce, ale zawsze taka swiateczna atmosfera troche podnosi na duchu. Rano robilam zdjecia dzieci (i doroslych) z Mikolajem, wieczorem powtorka ...

... We reached Comino at 11:30am. The views enroute were excellent but quite nothing prepared us for what we were about to see at Comino. The Blue Lagoon, made famous by the movie with the same name, starring Brooke Shields from our parents time was what was Comino famous for. As the boat approached its destination, the sight of the Blue Lagoon was simply outstanding. Water, the colour of painted sky, was absolutely clear and incredibly blue/green. BL is famous for the crystal ...

... its significance in my life but it was THE BEST THING EVER! :) Following the game I was charged up, went for a run to St Julians and back, downloaded the day's photos to my laptop and was showered and ready when my relatives picked me up at 8:30 for dinner with my cousin Michael and his wife Josette. We drove to Vittoriosa and had dinner at a restaurant that was built in a bastion of the main castle there. It was a fantastic way to end an amazing day for me in Malta.

... in posting some pictures up to keep things interesting... so things like the bruises really should be under the Verona entry, although it happened upon my beginning travels in Florence, thanks to iron chained off pedestrian walkways. augh. So she figures you're too entertained by the entries or photos (or both) to notice these things but she was wrong :( very sad. Hopefully this will teach her to update her photos more often!!! :)

... and 60s and did a lot of walking/hiking from our apartment that we rented for 2 nights from a funny and nice lady named Karmen who picked us up from the ferry station. Really enjoyed having our own place and ate all our meals in which not only saved us money but also anymore questionable food from restaurants and further belly ache. Our flight out of Malta on our last day was not until midnight so when our return ferry from Gozo landed back in Malta around 6p.m. we had to kill ...
