Having endured a non-existent English summer in London, I was thankful that my old travel buddy Davies and I had booked some Mediterranean sun as an insurance policy. I was looking forward to some proper summer weather! When choosing a summer getaway, I was looking for somewhere warm and relaxing, with enough to do that could be covered in a long weekend, and somewhere ideally, that was a new country to visit. Coupled with the fact that I had heard good things about it and the fact that it is served by Ryanair, this island in the sun ticked all the boxes and I was excited to see what Malta had in store for us. My boss (kindly) let me go early on a Thursday afternoon to catch my flight, but as usual, my journey to ... read more

13.august, kolmapäev! Jajah, kuidas see oligi, et plaan oli rahulikult normaalsel ajal koju kulgeda ja mitte midagi erilist teha. Noh, saimegi autokesega siis 11 ajal siit Melliehast minema ja vurasime Paceville'i. Tuju nagu eriti polnud ja nii. Midagi seal mölutasime algul, mul oli nagu vaja Fuegosse minna ja poisid läksid kuhugi mujale. Ütlesime, et muidugi saame seal mujal varsti kokku. Hahah, mis te arvate, kas me saime terve öö jooksul Fuegost kaugemale kui üle tee Nerosse? Lonkisime sinna ja pidime kõigile siis ükshaaval igas baaris tsau ütlema jne. Mul oli see blabla jutuajamine vaja korda ajada, aga enne oli vaja julgust koguda. Z oli new baris esimesed tunnid tööl ja siis nad seal Francine'ga pläkutasid. Tegime nendega väheke pilti ja väheke nalja ja väikse hoovõtu eelolevaks ööks. Tegin oma ringkäigu kööki, ajasin asjad korda ja olime ... read more

Ok, you know when sometimes people come back from their amazing holidays in the Caribbean Islands or Fuerteventura and keep telling you about the PARADISE that they visited! Well, no need to be jealous anymore if you've been to Comino . Yes yes yes! The wonderful name "The Blue Lagoon" gives it all away (I'm sure you've all tried the famous drink!). It is such a pretty place, there are tiny boats that take you there from Malta (not too cheap though) and they generally run every 1hr and only operate until 7 pm if remember correctly, so you need to watch time! It is literally like from postcards from the destinations I mentioned right at the beginning. The water is just unbelievable: so clear! You know when you go swimming in such water, you kinda ... read more

We stayed in a very good location Qawra, right next to the bus station from which buses ran to prety much everywhere. So we wisely acquired ourseleves weekly tickets and visited every single corner of Malta by getting there on a bus! Some of the prettiest spots include Marsaxlokk! A tiny colourful village that is characterised with fisherman who go out on the sea in very specific, traditional, colourful boats called the "Luzzu". La Valetta was of course lovely too, lots of shops and generally with quite an urban feel to it, although the old buildings and churches didn't take the historical aspect away. We admired some amazing views and tried some nice food as usual. We def had an awesome time :D... read more

Kolmapäeeev oli tööpäev (loe: öö), aga ooo, kui sündmusterohke. Kris oli terrassil koos Gianniga, kes on see väike veider Bulgaaria poiss. Mina olin gaziiiibos taaskord. Ma töötan iga kord seal, vähemalt graafiku järgi olen algselt alati gaziiiibos, nii et mul on väikestviisi oksendamiseni sellest, aga samas tean, kus kõik asjad on ja oskan pimesilmi jooke riiulist leida või sangriat teha. Huh, talent missugune. No igatahes oli mind jälle sinna õue lükatud ja Kris kaugel üleval. Manageriks oli kolmapäeval seesama Ian, kelle pärast Hassan lahti lasti, nii et saatsime tema poole valgust kartvaid eestikeelseid lausejuppe. Kuigi ta ise nillis täiega Krisi. Tüüpilisele maltalasele kohaselt võttis kohe tüdruku sihikule. Mina ei leidnud kunagi Ianit üles, kui teda vaja oli ja Krisi sõnul seepärast, et ta põhimõtteliselt elas Krisi juures terrassil. Üritas jõle lahedat venda mängida ja näitas om ... read more
