A tiny archipelago of 3 islands in the Med not too far from Italy. We stayed in the north of the main island in a place called Buggiba so we'd be close to the ferries that run to Gozo and Comino (the other 2 islands). Not a hell of a lot to do there, there's a few sandy beaches but most are pebbled (some red rock beaches that looked pretty cool, but not exactly comfortable) or just shear rock - very impressive. Other than that there's a bunch of seriously old remains of structures and archaeological sites. Unfortunately they don't take [View Full Entry]

Malta Photos Europe » Malta » Valletta By Moving edgeways April 6th 2007Work provided a few days off in Malta. Valetta harbour (or harbours plural....) is stunning as is the Baroque old town with its neat grid system. Its a peculiar place with the mix of beauty and chaos of Italy but plenty of British influences too (it seems to be where old right-hand drive cars go to di [View Full Entry]

Well its official, of all the European Counties we have visited during this last 12 months, Malta is the hands down winner for our fave. The people are the friendliest, the beaches are the bluest, the weather was the warmest and the food was the tastiest. Hows that for a good rap hey, well they deserve it. First of all let me say that it was nothing at all like the picture I had in my head of what Malta would be like. In some parts like Sliema where we stayed, it reminded us of queenslands sunshine coast, it was so [View Full Entry]

The engines roar. The small airport building which is made out of limestone passes by. Just a second later, the wheels of the aircraft lift off and this typical sound makes me sure that they are parked in the wheel house. I can see the aircraft’s shadow soaring over green fields, roads with cars and yellow busses and villages. Solar cells on rooftops in Qormi, Attard and Mosta reflect the warm and still friendly late autumn sun. Soon the harbour of Ċirkewwa is under us. One of the white-blue ferry boats is about to leave on its twenty-minutes-trip to Gozo and [View Full Entry]

Alot of people go to Malta for the sun, the diving, the history of the Knights of St John but often miss the amazing beautiful temples there. There are quite a few on the Islands, my favourite is the one mainly photographed here - Hagar Qim. They are said to be the oldest Goddess Temples on the Planet and they certainly create a place of wonder and mystery that you can let your imagination explore. [View Full Entry]

Day 88 April 3rd Valetta, Malta Malta was one of my 2 dream destinations, I was thrilled when HAL substituted it, along with a return for us to Athens and Kusadasi. My other desired destination being Reunion in the Indian Ocean and we were in Mayotte which is close and probably similar. We enjoyed learning more about the Knights of St-John. In Rhodes, last September we had toured their previous home, this time, we saw their great STONE fortress, churches and hospital. The St-John Co-cathedral is the most impressive catholic church I have ever visited because of the inlaid coloured marble [View Full Entry]

Matt: Since arriving in the UK, I have been surprisingly healthy. While Ed has been battling constant colds and a minor bout of pneumonia, I have mocked his weak constitution and told him that my strong European genes made me better suited to living in cold and wet places. And so it was probably karma when found myself waking up on the morning that we were due to leave for Malta with an uncomfortable feeling in the pit of my stomach. The night before I had arrived home late from work and picked up a pizza. Unfortunately our local pizzeria, although [View Full Entry]
