Malta – Day Five

The breakfast room was even more chaotic than it had been the previous day and we had to queue before we could be seated at a table. I sampled the Maltese options and found that they were not choices that I enjoyed for breakfast. However, I am glad I tried them.
After breakfast we walked to [...]

Malta – Day Four

The breakfast room was rather chaotic and the local cuisine options that I had intended to try had run out, requiring me to fall back on my trusty continental breakfast choices.
After breakfast we walked through the city gate to St John’s Co Cathedral which was a lot quieter than the previous day when the cruise [...]

Malta – Day Three

The buffet breakfast was excellent with a full selection of both continental and cooked breakfast options including traditional Maltese options. Also available were items that needed cooking to order such as pancakes, omelettes and fried and poached eggs.
Comfortably replete, we left the hotel and walked down the hill towards the Templar Memorial and the siege [...]

Stories Not Included

During our recent Malta adventure I unfortunately lost my camera along with the photographs for the first part of our holiday. Luckily just before we travelled I had upgraded my mobile phone (paying less for my contract) so I was able to take photos after my camera had gone missing.
I have now replaced the camera [...]

Gloucester – Day Two

After a good night’s sleep, it was time to find out what was on offer for breakfast. Cold buffet options were on display but hot food was cooked to order. I was pleasantly surprised to see that my favourite breakfast options; tomatoes on toast, mushrooms on toast, egg on toast were listed as options on [...]
