Sun, sun and more sun

Having been here three weeks we can honestly say it was an inspired idea....we are achieving all our corporate objectives. 1) Relax, 2) Get a tan, 3) Relax.....some of us are doing better than others in achieving these goals! Sharron has a great tan and has slipped into a coma!!

We took a short break from the above last week when we visited Malta which took, door to door, the same time as our flight here, mainly due to using local bus transport! However we managed to arrive without any hotel reservation into Valletta to find the four hotels it has were running a VERY good occupancy precentage (happens everywhere I go!) we managed to get the last bedroom in Valletta at the 2 star Grand Harbour Hotel...all in all a basic, clean hotel in a great position...(I completed an appriasal for moving this Hotel into a four star boutique hotel which I left with the management!)

We had a great three days on Malta and visited Sliema (for half an hour, more than enough!) and Mdina / Rabat....stopping for half a litre of Rose wine at the Xara Place (Relais & Chateau) which cost 5 Euros!!

Valletta is a great place to stay on Malta, plenty to see, good restaurants / bars etc....I was even happy to take in some culture and visit the Grand Palace! The views over the Grand Harbour were excellent from our roof top bar, the harbour is a regular stop over for cruise ships. It has also been used in various films inc Gladiator, Helen of Troy...

Oh well, three weeks down one to go before heading back to the UK before getting our flight to Delhi!!

see you there!!

Mark & Sharron
