As you can see, we've already been around ;-) Malta is beautiful and has lots to offer to history and architecture buffs such as myself. It's nice to be back. Not many changes since my last visit, but it's definitely very different in the summer. Girls in barely there clothes and guys in just shorts are everywhere! So many runners, weird hairdos, mixed crowds of teenagers wandering around - something I don't get to see in the Middle East. The deli meat selection at breakfast is all pork! All cafes have alcohol on the menu.
You are making me soooooo jealous! Here I am in Doha, slogging away teaching an accelerated summer course and you are drinking in every sight and sound of lovely Malta! Grrrrrr.... Oh well, at least you shared the pics and I can live vicariously through you!
Thanks everyone for lovely comments! Nice to know that although I am away, you are still here! :^)
I am having tons of fun, my feet ache badly from running around, my t shirt tan is getting deeper and deeper, and now I can say "Valletta" with a distinctive local accent, too, lol!
Glad you liked the pics, I have tons more, just have to charge the camera (the battery is dead) and I will be posting some for you.
Oh, and Carlsberg, I've been to Venice many times, it's lovely, but I still prefer Malta.
Lovely is an understatement! It's gorgeous, and I have plenty more pics to share. Kel, I take my own pics of course. Carlsberg, thanks again - been there too, didn't like it all that much, but compensated by driving along the F1 route :p Mattie, I bet you would! You should see what guys wear here! Insane!
OH MY GOD!!! It's Malta!!! I'm so jealous!!! GIIIIIRLL ENJOY TO THE FULLEST!!! And thanks for the photos...Keep'em coming. I have to be honest I haven't visited your blog in a while, but I'm glad I did today :D Enjoy and indulge.
Thanks for sharing the beautiful pictures of Malta. Enjoy the rest of your vacation!
