EUROPE 2025 : A WEEK IN MALTA

Saturday 4th to Friday 10th October

We spent a week in Malta; staying with Mylene and Coenraad. She rented us an apartment with a wonderful view in Spinosa Bay.

They know Malta well, so I was very happy not to have to plan anything! There's so much history in Malta: Ancient, Roman, Medieval and all the way through to WW2. Valetta, Mdina, Rabat, Mosta, Hagar Qim.

I swam in the chilly sea and we all did a fun boat trip to the Blue Grotto.

We enjoyed good food too.

One night in Marsaxlokk we all shared a salt baked fish at Rizzu.

The night was made more festive and hilarious because entertainment had been laid on for an Estonian tour group.

Mediocre covers of Sweet Caroline and Zorba the Greek; as well as Maltese folk tunes and exuberant dancing by the Indian waiter! The best travel times are mostly not planned and can't be curated!
