The first day in Malta was full of joy and excitement! We arrived at our hotel and quickly realised we were so out of the way! There was not much to see around our hotel apart from the beautiful view of the bay (even though our balcony overlooked houses). The hotel was clean and the staff where very friendly but lacked any information that they should have provided! Exploration time as hunger approched, as we walked one direction from our hotel we soon realised there was nothing there and we turned around and walked the opposite direction! We walked and walked and walked until finally and hour later we came to a restaurant! Looking at the menu we where excited so we took our chances and it payed off apart from a little lack of service! During dinner we looked outside to realize it was pouring with rain… (We came to Malta to escape the rain) . After dinner we made a break for it in the rain to then hop in to a nearby hotel and order a taxi.. the taxi man showed up in a huge rush and ordered the €15 euro up front to then drive like a mad man the whole way back . In Malta you are definitely taking your life in your hands getting any type of transport! Finally arrived back at the hotel in one piece and headed for a good night’s sleep in a rock hard bed with very humid conditions!

Exploration day number 2……
