In late september the company I work for invited us to a weekend trip to Malta. Thanks! We had pretty much fun on the island.
Malta is a small but densely populated island of the Mediterranean Sea in the southern part of europe, next to Sicily. A so called New Member State of the European Union (since 1.5.2004).
I think it takes you only about 3 hours to travel by car across the island. But you’ll probably need more than a few hours to visit at least a few of the numerous ancient ruins.Honestly I’m not the best friend of ancient ruins. Since we only had a few days on the island I thought we should really have a nice time there and relax. So we went directly to the Golden Bay beach, visited Valletta (the capital), and then back to the beach to enjoy the last sunrays of autumn like lazy cats.
I think beside Cuba Malta has the weirdest cars worldwide. Even public transport uses busses from the 50ies. Going by bus in Malta is like a trip in a time machine. My all time favorite on the island was the one and only “Malata Joe” ;o)
…and one more car…
Obligatory on Malta is to visit those cliffs (sorry, forgot the name) by boat. A must, especially because of the funny captains – “look at the water! look at the water! nice color! nice color!” ;o)
One really strange thing was that huge boat I saw in the port of Valletta. No idea who is using that boat nor for which purpose it was built. One told me that it’s for sale, so if you still have no idea for christmas…
I think it appeared in one of the latest james bond movies.
