August

We stayed at ME Malta in St Julian's at the start of August, with a boat day out to Gozo and the Crystal Lagoon on Comino, an evening in Valletta, another at Café del Mar in St Paul's Bay, Popeye Village and, for Si, a first proper wreck dive. St Julian's is the place for restaurants and nightlife, and most of the island is a bus, taxi or boat ride away.

October: Round Two

ME Malta invited us back for Si's birthday weekend in October, to the same room, and the housekeeping team went to war in towels. On the first afternoon the yachts of the Middle Sea Race filled the sea in front of the balcony, which was not something we had planned for.
