Our last day in Malta

Diterbitkan: 09.08.2018

Once again, it's the end of a vacation. After our very eventful week in Malta, we didn't want to go very far from our accommodation today and planned to relax on the rocky beach in St. Thomas Bay. However, the sea had other plans for us. Despite the good weather (windy but warm), the sea was very rough and the rocks were completely submerged, so we couldn't lay there. In the end, we decided to go back to St. Peters Pool, where we went at the beginning of our trip. It was sheltered there and the rocks were high enough that the water couldn't reach them.

When we arrived there, we were not alone, but we expected that. After all, today was a beautiful, warm day, despite the rough sea. It was warm enough to sunbathe in a bikini, by the way! But in the sun and without wind, it got really hot. Our already damaged skin didn't handle the sun well either. After a while, we decided to go to the city beach in St. Thomas Bay. We found a bench by the water where we could dip our feet into the cool water despite the strong waves. The water was still icy cold, but some particularly brave people were swimming in it. Despite the cold and the rough waves. The coolness was really refreshing in the heat!

After a nice last day, we made our way back to the accommodation. We had a pleasant last evening on the rooftop terrace. With the wind and without the sun, it got a bit chilly quickly though. The next day, we left for Germany around noon.

We were only there for a week, but we pretty much saw the whole island - it's not that big! :D And that was actually the great thing about it: You could reach everything easily from one spot in a short amount of time. We had fun in Malta. Even though the weather wasn't ideal and we also had some rain, we still had an interesting and beautiful time there. A week was enough for us, it didn't need to be longer. We were a bit disappointed with the food. It mainly consisted of pizza, burgers, pasta...the options were not very diverse. We expected something different from Maltese cuisine, but eating out here is also not cheap. Actually, I would recommend renting a car to anyone who wants to see a bit of Malta and be mobile. However, you should think twice about it with the left-hand traffic. Luke is a good and safe driver and quickly adapted to it. But I wouldn't have gotten into a car here myself. I advise anyone who is even a little unsure about driving to refrain from it. The bus connections are supposedly good here (we didn't try it ourselves), but they don't reach more remote areas, which I find particularly exciting on vacation. Malta is also less suitable for a beach vacation. But if you're into sightseeing and don't just want to lounge on the beach but also enjoy the occasional beautiful bay, I can only recommend this island. There is a lot to discover and the neighboring island Gozo is worth a visit. I don't think we will visit Malta again anytime soon, but who knows, maybe we will be drawn back there in a few years :)
