Saturday - We were up early this morning to meet our taxi to the airport. The hotel was nice enough to prepare a take away breakfast, which we ate after checking in our luggage. The flight was good, although any flight is better than a Ryanair flight. Once in Fiumicino airport we had to find the right bus stop and then wait 1.5 for the bus to Perugia. The bus trip was long (almost four hours) but we had no problems getting to our favourite EU destination. We ...

Friday - Fine We had a good last day in Malta today. After checkout we took the bus into Valetta, and then we walked though the pretty centre to our hotel. The hotel is really nice, it's down a nice little alley with open arches, and it has a real Mediterranean feel to it. It's a shame we are only here for one night. After a short break we hit the pavement. Wow! And after the 5hr walk around town I definitely wish we had another night here in the capital. ...

Thursday - Fine Due to a bet that I lost with Kim it was my shout for lunch today. I also had to do the house work before we left. It was very warm out today, and Kim demanded a seafood lunch.

We grabbed a table by the water and Kim ordered swordfish, but for me I had the pork medallion. The meals were fantastic and we washed them down wi...

Wednesday - Fine We woke up this morning and found that the skies were clear. We were keen to get going on our cruise after seeing the weather. We walked down the street and boarded the boat. It looked like lots of people had the same idea as us today, because although the boat was of decent size the boat was full and Kim and I weren't lucky enough to score a seat for the trip. Never mind the idea of today wasn't about sitting down. It was about swimming, an...

Tuesday - Rain Well the nice evening last night didn't stay for long, the rain came at about 6am this morning and didn't die down enough to leave the flat until 1or2pm. We went for a bit of a walk in some light drizzle, up the road past a few farms over to the west coast of Malta. I think it's only a 2km walk from where we are. We went for a look at the popeye village. It was the movie set built for the 80s flick with Robbin Williams. The village is in a grea...
