Sliema bay
MUŻA – The Malta National Community Art Museum
MUZA is situated by the entrance to the old town of Valetta, entrance is 5eur – well worth the money, this place was huge.
The muesum stretched over 3 floors, with lots of different rooms and exchibits, you could easily get lost.
Most of the artwork is religious and related to the grandmasters of st john. But also lots pf old furniture and tools n stuff.. dating back 4-500 years.
Ġgantija, Gozo
After googeling around a bit we foud the Ġgantija temple on Gozo, supposed to be the / or the second oldest man made building in the world (there is some old stuff in turkey)
We opted out on the hop-on-hop-off hell that is the reb busses/ferries, and did the regular ferry from Cirkewwa to Mggarr on the island of Gozo. Nice calm n easy crossing, on a big car ferry.
Besides the temple itself, there is a small muesum also. Showing old pottery, jewøery amd tools – dating vack 5600 years.. so thats older than the pyramids, way older.
Of course, it has had its wear over the years – but again, 5600 years old..thats a bit, older than the stonehenge.. really cool.
The whole area was really nice laid out, and for us beeing here in start of low season it was not crowded at all. Really cool site – of course it also had a giftshop at the end.. fridge magnets aquired!
Blue lagune Malta
Hell on earth
A small island NOTHING like the pictures say. Totaly overcrowded with eorupean trash, and generel rubbish.
We did not go all over the island – but the lagoon itswlf is a trashpit of kebab stench, cheap rum drinks and a heavy techo beat.
The facilities are non excisting, the toilets are some kind of old testament punishment.
Bathing is limited at best… views are nice :).. but my god so many people on so little space.
Boatride out was nice, hoping to get on the mext one out 🙂
Rabbit stew
National dish of Malta
Slippery when wet
Malta is the most slippery country in the world
St. John’s Co-Cathedral, Vallett
The old city of Valetta was a real nice place, loaded wifth cafes and resturants. And of course lots of churches
Built in th 1570’s loaded with references to the crusades.
The picture above is for remembering one of the grandmasters – and all the battles he was in. Note that the one angel is stepping on a skull – and the other obe a turban.. so, yeah 🙂
Quite an impressive view, gold everywhere and intricate decorations all over the place
Underneath the altar is the toomb of several grandmasters.. quite cool
Malta !
God damnit – finaly after years and years and years of corona covid lockdowns and facemask hell, vaccinations and argh!
We where finaly able to do our yearly wedding-day-week trip again, this time to Malta. Hoping for sun and swiming, beer and tuna.
Arrived in Malta sunday, rain , and got hit with rain in the morning hours of monday to – but the sun showed up midday 👍👍
The hotel is loaded with ‘slippery when wet’ signs, it is slippery – I took a dive down some stairs today, and are only just able to walk. 🙂
Had a walk down to Sliema today, was hoping to get to The Crafty Cat brew pub, but it had not opened – so we got some beers at The Brew
We also visited the Beer Garden, pretty good selection
Hoping to get my back working in a few days and see some more of Malta by feet – right now it feels like we need to spend some money on taxies.
The access to Bolt scooters here is massive – but with the narrow streets and the massive traffic, I cant se how anyone dares to ride them.
