Well our time in Malta is drawing to an end ( : -{( our last day here was spent on our own we caught a bus into Valletta to buy a few things and have a last wander through its streets. It is quite funny we asked for directions a few times and the standard Maltese response was "go down there turn left or right....what ever it may be and ask again", sometimes we had to do this two or three times to get to a destination. after a while it was frustrating but funny n...

The seaside colourful shacks were set back in a nice little cove and is a favourite tourist spot. The landscape in and arou...
