Malta impression

---

Took a hop on hop of bus , the northern route what took 3 hours without hopping of.Went to Valletta in the afternoon.
Went yesterday in the morning to the old capital Mdina and in the afternoon again Valletta

Impression of Malta
- Their unknown wine is very good and unbelievable cheap
- They threat beer as in England
- They drive on the leftside of the road but since everybody is doing it its no problem
- One of their export products are potatoes
- 500 public busses owned by 500 independent drivers somebody told me. Still a working schedule
- Valletta another Unesco world heritage site. Real historic looking and people still living in the citadel
- In the churches hundreds of tombstones of the Maltezer knights who were living here for centuries
- Still 28 noble families living here mainly in the old capital Mdina
- Not even half a million people and still their own democracy, president, parliament and member of the EU and usin euros
- On the endless boulevards thousands of tourists and locals walking and sitting in the evenings
- Rich of history. They were all here: the greeks, Romans, Norwegians, Napoleon on his way to Egypt, England and many others still they always survived and became independent in 1964

Sure a place to come back for a real holiday

Hi Bert, Last night thunderweather, not realy very bad, but, that's normal here, all elecricity went off and of course the telephone . And this country is one of the important EEG countries! Mouse "shit" if that 's all there is! Did not know you was such charming! "Old" blog and an old lady! Have been there a couple of weeks on Sicilie, you don't talk about the maffia! Maria Dlores is veeeeery fast indeed! Must be exiting meeting her Did you take in account How many life's you need if want to fullfil al your dreams to go back for a longer time to all the interesting places! Next week we go to the Netherlands for Dana is going to do a sailing course; because I mean every dutch girl, and also boys, need to know the basics of sailing! Although we normaly deliberate this kind of decisions, but she was not realy amused to do this; so I decided. but I'm shure that within a splitsecond she will enjoy. Have fun and take care, Cees

Yes Cees I realise that if I want to go to all places I want and some of them to revisit I still needs lots of life. Perhaps even a second one, No I don t talk about Maffia. You dont talk in Myanmar about the generals in power either. But if you have a good look around you see very interesting things. Hope Dana does not like the sailing so much that she wants to do her own sailing tour around the world.Have fun in the Netherlands.
