So I'm back with many glorious photos from the early parts of my trip to Malta. Hope you enjoy :)
Marsaxlokk
Within the first few days of arriving in Malta, my sister and I were driven to Marsaxlokk (pronounced Marsa-Shlock) a name which literally means 'South-East Bay'. It seems fitting then that this fishing village is located in the South-East area of Malta. It was quite a wondrous sight, finally seeing the boats my Nannu (Maltese term for grandfather) has spent so much time recreating as miniature models in his workshop. Also, there were cats. Need I say more?

| There were MANY stray cats in Malta but thankfully most of them are well-fed because there is a campaign for everyone to look after them. There are several cat shelters situated around the place. |
Valletta
Next on the agenda was Valletta, the capital of Malta and safe to say it was pretty magical - especially with all the Christmas lights still up! Also a common aspect of public transport (particularly in Valletta) is the use of horse & carriage to get around. It is mainly there for the benefit of tourists but it was pretty darn cool nonetheless.
So this is the end of Part 1 of my travel diary about Malta and I hope you enjoyed it. Keep posted for more updates (which will happen... after my uni assessments hopefully).
Much Love!
