Malta – Day Ten

After breakfast we set off on another bus adventure, this time to St Paul’s Bay to visit Malta’s National Aquarium. During our hour-long journey, we saw many different styles of architecture, landscapes and neighbourhoods.
The aquarium is split up into different zones that feature both marine life and the history and hidden treasures of Malta. There [...]

Malta – Day Nine

It was a choice between visiting the fishing village of Marsaxlokk or the Hagar Qim temple complex.
We checked the bus time tables and found that the bus to Marsaxlokk would arrive earliest so we decided that we would go there for the day. Then Mr C noticed a bus that was heading to the temples [...]

Malta – Day Seven

For some reason I was feeling out of sorts when I woke up, possibly because I could feel the beginnings of the lurgy coming on. We were a little late for breakfast but thankfully there was only a small queue.
After breakfast we had planned to catch the ferry to Birgu but the plan was flexed [...]

Malta – Day Five

After breakfast we walked to [...]

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 [...]

Malta – Day Two

Our 3.30 am alarm call allowed us to get to the airport at 5am in time for our 7.05am flight. We encountered a slight hiccup when the in-car SatNav directed us to a blocked road which, too late we remembered had happened last time we flew from Manchester airport. It was four years ago so [...]
