I just wanted to add, for the benefit of first time travellers to Malta, that in spite of what has been said elsewhere on this forum, Mosquito's are present! No question about it, I knew my memory didn't deceive me. not as bad as Greece or other places that some could mention, but precautions should be taken if you are affected by them.

I was disappointed to read that one visitor absolutely refuted the notion that mosquitos could be found in Malta. I say only this in reply, we saw them, we heard them, we were bitten. What;s more, the shops sell all manner of repellants, which is proof enough for me.

Not that they in any way spoilt our holiday, far from it. In fact the only thing I didn;t like about Malta, was the Kinnie! Sorry all you Kinnie fans, but I just didn't like the taste of it.

Now the Cisk, well that was a diferent matter . . . . . :wink:

Oh, and I got my Smirnoff too. Thanks to those who said as much.

And finally, if I had to choose, then I have to admit that Gozo was more like the Malta I remembered from 28 years ago. Very nice, peaceful and quiet. Just what the doctor ordered.

Sounds like you all had a great time.Got to agree about the mozzies though.We visit Malta alot to see my hubbys family and im forever being bitten,no matter what time of the year we go.

I also love the old buses,but you sure know you have been on one afterwards,especially if you have been on an extra bumpy road.Mind you i find it all adds to the character and charm of Malta.
Glad you had a nice time. :D

Thanks for the pictures that you posted Tony I enjoyed looking at them. Glad to hear you enjoyed the place. Like you though the last two times I've been over there I have had to be a tour guide and it really takes it out of you.
I'm loooking forward to my next visit because we will be alone and can relax and do things in our own time. :)
