Hello dear readers! I was just starting to get back in to the swing of things and posting regularly and then a pesky trip went and got in the way! What a travesty, right?
Admittedly, I could have been better prepared and had something scheduled and ready to go whilst I was traveling but let’s not get carried away! Committing to writing one post a week is a miracle without thinking about being prepared enough to write beyond that.
Anyway, the consequence is I don’t really have a “proper” post to share with you so I thought I’d give you the short and sweet version for now and we’ll write about this trip in more detail at a later date.
Those of you connected with me on other social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram or Twitter will have seen that I was in Malta last week. I said in my travel round-up post at the start of the year that I was itching for some Winter sunshine and after narrowing it down to a few options, Malta seemed like the best of them.
It’s funny how often we’ll set ourselves criteria for a trip and then wind up booking a trip that falls a bit short of that.
Let me say, my main criteria was to go somewhere with warmer and sunnier weather than England so Malta ticked that box at the very least.
I was thinking back to the Algarve last year and craving something similar, which meant discounting somewhere like Morocco, because I was craving something relaxing.
I definitely found time to relax in Malta still and enjoyed the weather of course but ironically I think one of the things that swayed me towards choosing Malta was the balance between having a nice hotel to relax at when I wanted to, whilst still having a destination that offered more.
And it didn’t disappoint. I’m going to blog about it in more detail at a later date but I’m glad I ended up going to Malta, it’s a great country to visit and theoretically it’s somewhere I’d go back to.
I don’t know when because there are other places I want to return to and a million other places I haven’t yet visited that I’d like to visit someday but I’d never rule out returning to Malta.
Anyway, I’ll blog about it in more detail at some point but for now I just want to share some photos from the trip.
That’s a wrap for now! If you haven’t been to Malta or considered visiting before, I’d highly recommend it!
It was a lovely week away and I left with fond memories which is all you can ask for from any trip.
Until next time!

Yeah, the weather was pretty good. I only had one day which was a bit miserable but I spent that day chilling around the hotel so it was still better than being at home in England! 🙂

Thank you, it was lovely to get away fro a bit.
It particularly sucks when you’ve been ill and are waiting for more exciting things but hopefully July rolls around quickly for you and you can then start having some adventure of your own!

Lovely photos! We really enjoyed Malta, but like you, we treated it as a relaxing break with the opportunity to see a few things while we were there. That meant I chose a hotel in an area a bit out of the way, as we didn’t want to stay right in the thick of it and be out constantly. And tbh we didn’t rate the area we stayed in, so I wish we had just stayed in St Julians or Sliema! Ah well. We’ll know for next time, haha.

I really liked Malta and I was quite happy with where I stayed, the area was nice and there was pretty much a bus stop on its doorstep which made it easy to get around the country. I’d definitely return there if / when I go back.
I’m glad you enjoyed Malta other than the area you were in 🙂
