Malta Vacation Review

This was a succesful holiday, the weather was hot and sunny and the Phoenicia Hotel very well run and good value for money.
The Maltese are friendly,courteous people.Girls in national costume and a Maltese Grandma

Excursions

• We took a tour of the island to Comino with Captain Morgan Tours.This was a good way to see Malta from the sea. Lunch was included , this was a pleasant cold buffet with different meats, salads, fruit and wine.The boat stopped at Comino for about 3 hours to give time for swimming for those who wanted it. This island is a tiny rocky place, the water is clear and blue.Hundreds of people crammed around the  swimming area waiting for a turn to take a dip. This seemed a waste of time to us especially as once wet there was nowhere to change. We stayed on board and finished our lunch off with a huge doughnut and a coffee from the bar.

• An Open Top Bus Tour which has an get on and off arrangement took us to Mdina.This old city is a must.We sat on top of the bus for some of the journey. This was rather scary, the roads are very rough, it was also very hot however it covered a large part of Malta in a couple of hours and is worth taking.

Food

Fish dishes are good. Meat dishes should be selected with care, rabbit is served frequently, I certainly had it  in lasagne and in a burger which turned out to be a bunny burger-- nasty
