We missed too our "sister-in-law" Glenda for not taking at the chance to visit her in Malta, during her summer job: the ice cream.
He has a dream "small" family .... wants to make a trip to Japan, his friends are waiting for Manga and between a cone and a cup, the goal is approached.
Veronica and I start from Bologna with a flight cost and very little low .... if booked 3 days before leaving ...
However, the known Irish company was on time, arrive 40 minutes early even with the airport in Malta.
Rent a car, ehh hell, here you drive on the left, we are in a small plot of land south of the former Anglo-Saxon in the Mediterranean. We'll take your hand, the last time was in Australia but spent too much time.
It is not so bad, I follow the flow of cars and think twice before crossing an intersection, the cars will play .... let's leave them to play.
Our "Boutique" Hotel in St. Julian's, The Hotel Giuliani is a real gem and the only panoramic terrace with swimming pool ... that is the price of the ticket. Good choice, in the middle of the story (Valletta) and the "Movida" ... Paceville. In the evening we go to "collect" Glenda in the extreme south of Malta, Masascala.
True and I went we made a dinner of fish, romantic in its way ... England play and all are attached to the screen, I expect at any moment a scream as big as the whole island, England .... collective exultation - Algeria 0-0, long faces, but .... beer works wonders.
Saturday is the day fixed for visiting Malta in the length and breadth, we have the sea, seeing the city sights, churches, castles and cliffs ......
We leave early and return in the evening completely cooked .... all that sun, so incredible, so far. Golden Bay, Paradise Bay, Mellieha Bay .... The Red Tower, Mdina, wonderful walled city, a jewel.
We return to St. Julian's candlelit dinner .... .... .... walking distance to Paceville to "review" when I was twenty.
Sunday, the plane leaves at 14 but we have all morning to shoot a little bit more. Arrive early at the Blue Grotto, a name of security. A bath in these waters would not be bad.
The megalithic temples of Hagar Qim and Mnajdra, times past ..... 4 / 5000 BC .... so much stuff, but nothing special.
Then travel to Valletta, another beautiful fortress city, we have an hour to make a quick breakfast and a look 'back in racing .... Mom, we also meet the Japanese magician Giramondo (cycling) Keiichi Iwasaki (www. feel-the-earth.com ).... has made us partakers of his show on the road. What a laugh .... e. .. is that this is a traveler.
We are so sorry to bring back Glenn Masascala, but the machine must be set in Car after almost 300 km route, which in Malta are .... so much stuff.
From above we reviewed the Blue Lagoon in Comino, mother sea .... little time to even go there, but Malta is really two steps, we will return, gave us the impression of a small island, full of interesting things to everyone. History speaks for her, many civilizations have passed by here, so many memories of the past coexist in harmony.
A quick but intense, week-end. It 'happened by chance, in the right time. Sometimes life gives you unexpected surprises that make you break my heart with joy, but it is so cruel without notice when you turn your back.
A journey, a couple of days with a friend, a real tornado of energy, enough to pull the plug and find a positive.
This strange tale Maltese .... to remind me of this long period of our life, to remember what we had to remind me that here again e. ..... to say thank you, as a big THANK YOU Blue Grotto! Without you, perhaps today we would still be a little sad.
I am sure that we realize our dreams.
Glenda, in life you have already taken flight soon .... you land in Japan.
