Sunday 30th September
Storm, cliffs and prickly pears
Storm
The weather breaks in the early hours. Lightening, thunder and heavy rain. It
even drowns out the street noise.
I had become expert at recognising the sounds from the poorly maintained cars - sloppy cam followers, exhausts, suspension...
At 03:00 rubbish is collected. At 04:00 green bottles are recycled. At 05:00 brown ones...
well that how it appears to be.
The Maltese government is intending to encourage a better class of tourist. They don't want their island to be the poor man's Ibiza.
Hmmmm...we're getting to know the "Club Med" ditties too...We must pay a visit to Danny DeVito's cabaret bar some time.
Morning swim
 It's still raining - that doesn't stop Jack and I having a swim in the hotel
pool.
The sun soon reappears, and the rest of the Nutters join us. |
Midday meal
|
We order food. There's a one hour wait for some goat's cheese snack! We are in the med! There's no hurry! |
Dingli Cliffs
|
I attack a prickly pear growing wild. It attacks me with its very fine hair
like prickles. The fruit tastes - well - OK. |
Evening
  We go to "Bognor" on the front at Bugibba for our evening's food and beer!The Jennys, Bernie and Maky try the club and pub scene in St Julian's. (Clubs - a bit sad, no atmosphere, loud music) |
The Holiday Makers From Hell
Are they Italian? Glaswegian? From the North East? 8 noisy bastards are lined up on the next balcony until 04:00 - Arrrgghh!! We do not sleep.
