Malta ~ Go - Go - Go -

Malta is the friendliest Island in the world. Small but large enough to enjoy months of exploring all the historical places. Meet and chat to the locals and enjoy the Maltese cousine. From April to October the weather is close to perfect. Lots of sunshine. Three hot months to enjoy the beaches. Festas and fireworks on every weekend. Its a great place and a safe holiday destination.

* 100% Maltese scene *


You can easily say " it cannot be more Maltese then this ". The old (but much loved) colourful Maltese bus and the the Maltese karrozzin. Can be called other other names but its still very much part of the Maltese scene. Both slow but very reliable and offers good fun.

Tuesday

Her last visit ~ warm welcome and farewell



The world’s famous cruise line Queen Elizabeth 2 called at Grand Harbour for the last time before setting sail into uncharted waters.She berthed in Malta for the last time as onlookers waved nostalgically at the ship from the surrounding bastions, leaning over to get a last glimpse of the 40-year-old iconic cruise ship.


The liner returned to Malta on her way to Dubai for her conversion into a floating hotel.


The QE2 was not named after Queen Elizabeth II, who launched her in 1967, but after the previous Queen Elizabeth vessel, which in turn was named for the Queen Mother. This is why Roman numerals are always used for monarchs, the Arabic number ‘2’ was used for the ship’s name to distinguish her from the monarch.


The cruise liner has been sold for £50 million to private equity firm Istithmar (which holds a minority shareholding in Corinthia Hotels International), which pledged to recreate the ship’s original interior decor.
The ship sailed on 25 world cruises and carried more than 2.5 million passengers during its 40 years in service.

In Malta, the ship was given a welcome with a salute fired from the Saluting Battery while tug boats celebrated with their water cannon.

MaltaPost published a commemorative stamp set and a special hand postmark marking the ship's last visit was used at Valletta Waterfront.

Saturday

Colourful fireworks of the Festa.

Fireworks all over the Islands from Feb to Dec. Non stop action at every town and village all over Malta and Gozo.
Colour, smoke, noise and thousands of excited local people and tourists. Loved by most people and hated by a few. However, its all part of the Maltese local Festa tradition and shall always stay that way.

Wednesday

Stepping ashore on Comino Island by Capt. Morgan boat


A boat trip around the Maltese Islands is not complete without a short stop at beautiful Blue Lagoon and a stroll on little Island of Comino. Admitidly, not much to see on Comino but a admiring the views and the clear blue sea around you does make your day. Boats normally stop there around midday when one can have a swim by the boats and after enjoy lunch and a drink onboard.
From there boats make their way around Gozo and back to Malta. These trips take about eight to nine hours and something not to be missed.
