A weekend away..

When I was invited for a weekend away to Malta I was dubious.. how much can you really fit in to 3 day break with travelling as well?? Well I was pleasently surprised.
On a fogging Thursday morning we made our way to Gatwick and I had my first experience of flying on EasyJet...a massive queue to board but when I was actually on the plane I had plently of space and got to sit next to family.
After 2 hours on the flight I looked out the window and saw a rocky Island with huge cliffs and said to my sister 'I hope were not going there it looks rubbish!' we then quickly turned and started to decent towards this rocky island.
So by Thursday afternoon I had travelled to Malta, travelled across the island on a bus that should be in a car museum (they start some of them by letting them roll foward to kick start the engine) and made my way to a fab hotel in St.Georges Bay - and was now drinking a pino colada by the pool...I could get used to this :D
On Friday it was much of the same beach in the morning, and then pool in the afternoon followed by another lovely dinner. Then on the Saturday we braved another bus ride to the otherside of the Island to Golden Bay which was gorgeous, and consisted of yes more sunbathing, swimming in clear seas and a nice lunch with a pint of Cisk there local brew!
Now to some this may sound like I didn't fit much in to 3 days...yes I just relaxed, it was lovely and I fell in love with the dusty rocky Island of Malta. Great food and friendly people and for Sep/Oct a nice 26/27 degree temperature.
So if you need a new idea for a holiday destination dont over look Malta, its a lot better than it looks from the air!!
