| 18th May 2009 Jackie | Gozo - From: Sore Stomachs in Stunning Malta Me and my family got a late holiday deal to Gozo, we had never even heard of Gozo but thought we,d take the chance, that was 7 years ago, we had the most beautiful holiday and we saved to go back again for my 40th birthday 3 years ago, we took our grown up children and our little grand daughter with us last year. All 3 holidays have been wonderfull, Gozo is a beautiful island and very clean. We are now saving for our next trip back to the island. If you ever get the chance to go i would reccommend it to anyone. Its the most beautiful place in the world. Ta Pinu Church is a must!! |

| 2nd March 2008 julie roche | food poisoning Trie Angeli Silema - From: Sore Stomachs in Stunning Malta we were impressed with all of malta with the exception of the Tre Angeli restaurant Silema where my husband had the carbonara resulting in severe food poisoning i went to the restaurant afterwards to complain i suspect either poor food hygine or salmonella to be thecause but the owner wasnt interested, Be warned avoid this place. |
| 16th September 2007 B.Bibby | Food poisoning Hilton Hotel Malta - From: Sore Stomachs in Stunning Malta My wife and I suffered food poisoning after eating from the dessert counter at the Oceana Restaurant in this Hotel during our stay 4.09.07 - 11.09.07. The items in particular contained dark chocolate. My wife has continued to suffer since returning home. Has anyone else who stayed at the Hilton from end of August through to today suffered in a similar way? |
| 16th September 2007 Bernard Bibby | Food a question should I eat to survive - From: Sore Stomachs in Stunning Malta my wife and I have just returned for a weeks so called holiday in Malta. We stayed at a 5 star hotel in the St Julians area of Malta the one with the tall tower. Within three days we both had problems after eating from the sweet counter. A week later at home we are still not 100% have any of you had any similar problems after visiting this area of Malta. Regards. Bernard |
| 31st July 2007 truepathfinder | To September Visit - can't wait - From: Sore Stomachs in Stunning Malta We are not cracks...we don't drink either, we visited the entire island and came away with the same conclusion - never never again...and I was very ill there and was told lots of people got ill there so believe who you like, but we're respectable people and if you like Malta, fine, but think you must live on a different planet if you think it's wonderful... |

| 7th April 2007 N/G | wow - From: Walking in Shanghai's Enormous Carbon Footprints A good read, tell me do they all really look-a -alike?. It does make a joke of our pathetic gesture of low energy light globes but with global warming being flavour of the month, politically we must try. Love N/G |

| 25th March 2007 Pam | Malta - Not Impressed - From: Sore Stomachs in Stunning Malta We have just returned from a two week visit to Malta. We lived there for over 2 years, returning to the UK in 1970. We fell in love with the place when we actually lived there but had not returned since. Whilst on holiday, we stayed in Bugibba as this was supposed to be "the" holiday area. We found it to be dirty, covered in dog's pooh, and in a very bad state of disrepair. To be honest, a run down building site. The hotel was supposedly 4*, but beyond the foyer it was a different story. There were no amenities in Bugibba/Qawra and if you didn't drink (which we don't) there is absolutley no entertainment. Our outlook on Malta has changed, so much so we will never return. During the first week I was confined to my room with sickness and I have never fully receovered, still suffering now and I am on antibiotics. |
| 15th March 2007 N/G | Confused - From: Great Expectations in Dubrovnik Great trip we told you to get more sleep. I could have sworn we spoke to Ed this evening he was on the train Parramatta line and here he is in Croatia. You confuse us oldies Love N/G |
| 14th March 2007 Mum McCarron | Another Gem - From: Great Expectations in Dubrovnik Great read, maybe I can come next time. I will be good I promise xxx |
| 3rd March 2007 Johan Galea | a local rambles - From: Sore Stomachs in Stunning Malta Hi My name is Johan Galea and I am maltese. 3 things , 1. The main roads have been almost all removed and made up from scratch to "european" standards . Eu paid for them or the italians but who cares I can actually drive my land rover without feeling sore yay! . 2. Thanks for reminding me how nice Malta is. I tend to overlook it since I ve been here all my life. 3. Those ninu caves in gozo , if you twat the stalagtites lightly with your fingers they make a kind of resonance , like a musical instrument , it was part of the show apparently until one broke off. 4. Twenty years ago when I went to ninu caves the old lady was really old and she did not go down the stairs either , she must be 100 years old by now :) |
| 29th December 2006 paula | im half maltese - From: Sore Stomachs in Stunning Malta my mum is maltese, i have alot of family who live in malta. i love going there, its magical. your photos remind me of what malta is like. malta is stunning, i could sit fr hours on a maltese bench and just watch the lifestyle that people have when they are there. the person who wrote a coment on the 11th of april 2006 is a jerk. what does he/she know..? it isnt the pits, its not dirty.. and so what if the roads are broken its not every where!! - have they seen parts of england??some are worse.. probably the only reason they were rude to them is because they have had enough of annoying tourists like them! dont let THEM put you off going to Malta!! its a wonderful place and when you go you wont want to leave!! :) Bye and im glad you have taken a trip to malta, and wrote a journal about what you did there!! x |

| 11th December 2006 Daniel Muscat | VIVA MALTA - From: Sore Stomachs in Stunning Malta I really enjoyed this article about my beautiful country. I must say that Malta is a great holiday destination, and is highly recommended. Summer is most enjoyable here, as the village feasts are celebrated every weekend. If you want info about a particular village feast, of Balzan (the village where I live), visit www.geocities.com/festabalzan of www.stgabrielbandclub.com !!! Thanks for giving a good impression of Malta!!! |

Looking forward to seeing you both Love N/G |
| 28th November 2006 Jenny | Jealous lament from Sydney - From: Two nights in Paris Hilton Hi guys, I have just been forwarded your Paris blog entry by Toni who thought I might enjoy a reminiscent moment or two of my time in Paris last year. Instead I am left green with envy. If you expect us to feel sorry for you on your SIXTH visit to Paris - then don't! : ) Would love to catch up when you are back in Sydney (I think it has been 2 years since we have seen each other) and hear all about your travels. Jen |

| 8th November 2006 tardree | Correction - From: Apons Let Loose in Spain It was a rather sweeping stament, so yes, maybe I should clarify and say the Spanish people I met were arrogant and unhelpful. Ed |
| 8th November 2006 anonymous | arrogant, unhelpful..and angry. - From: Apons Let Loose in Spain 'The Spanish are rude, arrogant and unhelpful! '. The 44.000.000 spaniards? You did a great work speaking to all of them in a week. I can't remember having talked to you so please remove me from that list. Next time try saying something like 'the spaniards I MET are rude, arrogant, unhelpful'. |
