you can buy phone cards for calling international very cheaply in Malta - say 5p pm roughly, calling from a landline, or do you mean using your mobile ?

sorry, laptop stuff not my area

other choice is to use Skype from an internet cafe

cheers, yes it was the calling cards ( to use from public phones or posible hotel ) that I was after, great to know that they are available , so likely won't bother with laptop then anyway

Cheap rate calling cards are widely available from all the gift shops/grocers etc. all over the island. They are all much the same - I have used these two quite often, no problems.

From their sites you can see there are several retail outlets in the Qawra area selling them.
Enjoy your holiday.

thanks again, I will look out for them. save on phone calls means more on food and drink!

Notice the weather not looking to good for next few days!

it rained in Gozo today - only a few mm, but the most we've had for months ! Its still a little cloudy, but worst I would expect for the next few days are isolated showers with plenty of sunshine in between. Good news is that its now great for walking, and it will get green very quickly

Hi Mark,

We were on the fabulous beach at Ramla Bay (Gozo), on Wednesday last week and it rained on the afternoon as we were coming away. Not much but I did have to wind up the windows on the car and it did wet the road. It went really hot and sunny after!

We were warned about the jellfish in the water and that they could give you a nasty sting but we didn't see any,

Hi Trev

quite right, it did rain last Wed - even more today ! glad to hear jellyfish didn't get you ! in reality, for most people, the fear is worse than the reality of jellyfish stings - like a bad nettle sting - still bad enough to avoid if you can !
