Malta

Just to let you know that I've arrived...

In Malta! In the evening. In the dark. Transported by a Catamaran from Pozzallo in the deep south of Sicily to the Maltese capital of Valletta. I have to admit folks I'm really excited to be here as this is my first time and if I think about it, I can count on one hand for certain the number of people I know who have actually visited here! How bizarre. Or is it? Have you been to Malta before? How was your experience? Th ...

Mission: Exploration of Malta. Status: Commenced

Earlier this week I received an email from a friend back home saying how my blog had opened his eyes to a number of things and in particular, the quality and cost of alternate accommodation.

I was hopeful that resulting images from my day out would be picturesque enough to further showcase more of Malta's natural and ma ...

Malta, the end is nigh...

My time here in Malta is soon to expire. It feels therefore appropriate to bring out the 'time flies when you're having a good time' cliché as that's certainly been the case for me with it feeling like I arrived only a couple of days ago when in actual fact, it's been two weeks! You might even recall my entrance to Malta those weeks ago was by boat, at night, and it was on arrival that I was immediately memorized not ...
