Day 15: Exploring Malta

This was my day off in Malta as my wife and son were to arrive later on in the evening.

After having some porridge for breakfast I decided to take a drive around the island. Did not take until first stop when I saw another motorbike approaching which turned out to be one Latvian guy living in Malta with his wife and a dog.

After some talks we decided to drive together, he was going to show me all the sights in Malta as this was his free day as well from work.

This was the ferry port to Gozo, lots of divers as well in here.

Visited many other places as well, total trip was 115 km in 5 hours.

After this tour came back to hotel and took some soup and bread and rested a bit.

In the evening I drove to the Malta’s airport to see when Anne and Max arrive and to find the taxi as well. I had already booked a taxi from airport to the apartment and agreed to meet with the driver at the airport.

Airplane was half an hour early we managed to get back to the apartment before 20:00.
