Just a quic k post today- Went to Ramla bay this morning which was unusually quiet. We soon figured out why- there were loads of jelly fish right up to the shore line- we managed to get a picture.
They were only little- their bodies like tennis ball sized, but there were enoguh of them for [...]
Yesterday evening we went to another Festa, this time in the capital of Gozo, Victoria! Muich the same deal as the one in San Lawrenz, but on a much bigger scale;
There was also a fireworks display running pretty much the entire night.
As well as that, we finally got Hypogeum tickets!! So today we got back [...]
This morning it rained! August is Malta at its hottest, with only a 5% chance of rain for the whole month but it rained. Even if it was only lightly spitting on an off for a hour or so and after 6 minutes or so of it stopping, you would never know anything [...]
Yet another action packed day today- we headed over to the mainland again and, like the bus pro’s we now are, got our selves over to Rabat (via Sleima > Velletta > then the number 80 bus to Mdina)
While in Valletta we wondered over to the east-side to have a look at the Grand Harbour [...]
Twenty Nine years ago (1980) a film was made in Malta- Popeye. On the North West tip of the malta mainland, by the Gozo Ferry, there is “Popeye village”- a small village constructed for the purpose of this film, and left on as a tourist attraction. This musical crime against cinema saw a [...]
So last night’s festival was interesting- it was in a tiny neighbouring village called San Lawrenz. We weren’t really sure what was going on to be honest but what seemed to be the entire village had turned up, all donning their swankiest apparel.
The village itself was spruced up with lights and decorations, and their [...]
Today we took a boat over to the third, and smallest of the three Islands, Comino.
Comino is well known for the “Blue Lagoon” bay, which was quite a contrast from Ramla Bay;
PACKED!! However neither Tash or myself are massively enthused at the idea of just sitting on one spot, so we went off to explore [...]
Malta is Tiny- we flew past the whole thing on our way in to land at the airport. Gozo is even smaller- not even warranting it’s own black dot on most old skool (paper based) atlases. Despite this, transport is a bit more of an issue than I had naively imagined. Because [...]
Today we went to the beach- Ramla. This is one of Gozo’s few sandy beaches, up on the north east coast- most of the coast consists of sheer cliff’s!
The beach it self was awesome- sand all the way along, and not even that busy- apparently Malta and Gozo have suffered this year due to the [...]
We made it. Currently sat on the ferry from mainland Malta waiting to leave for Gozo. Bumped into dad at the airport! Flight was just under three hours ( food was awful)
English is one of their primary languages but it’s not until you get here that you really notice- it was nice [...]
