The island of Malta might not be famous for golden sandy beaches, but there are a few of them. One of these beaches is at Golden Bay. What a surprising name! There are mostly cliffs along the island’s coastline and the beaches are usually small. Golden Bay Beach is close […]
I had visited Malta twice before. However, I had so far not had the opportunity to visit the second largest island of Malta – the island of Gozo. Even though it is just a short distance northwest of the main island it still has its own culture. Not to mention […]
In the center of Malta lays the fortified city of Mdina. Until the medieval age, this was the capital of Malta and today it is one of the country’s major tourist attractions. The city has less than 300 inhabitants but is located just next to the much larger town of […]
A lot of the tourists visiting Malta seem to end up staying either in St Julian’s (Maltese: San Ġiljan) or St. Paul’s Bay (Maltese: San Pawl il-Baħar). The latter includes the area of Buġibba where we were heading on a day trip from Gzira. That’s where you find the Malta […]
Valletta is not like any other European capital. The tiny city is built like a fort on the northern coast of Malta with the sea on three of four sides. The walls create an impressive sight when arriving from the water side. The city has developed a lot during the […]
There are huge advantages to know people at your destination. Malta really was a destination with such a benefit. Old classmates, acquaintances and even relatives have settled on the island. We would probably never have gone to Xemxija unless Susann’s cousin lived there with her partner. But we are happy […]
Last year we went to Madeira with the inlaws – Susann’s parents. It seems they liked it and by the end of the year, they had asked us where to go to in 2019. We were of course not late with looking for opportunities and the option of Malta soon […]
One Thursday evening in the beginning for February my mother and I boarded a flight to Gällivare. It was time to visit a relative in Malmberget in Swedish Lapland. This time Susann and Little A decided to stay at home. It was probably a good idea, considering that the Lapish […]
Some might think that visiting three capitals in six days is a bit too much. However, we had visited the places multiple times in the past, so it was really nice to just enjoy our favorite parts. Starting in Budapest we had continued to Bratislava to revisit our old home […]
It feels like yesterday that we were living and working in Bratislava. Thinking about it brings back some of the best memories. In reality, it is now almost five years since we moved back north, but the Slovak capital is still a place we love to return to. This was […]
It took us quite some time after Little A was born before we brought her with us to one of our favorite parts of Europe – the central eastern part. After two trips to Italy in a short time, we were finally on our way to Stockholm Arlanda Airport. There […]
We visited Bergamo for the first time in 2015. At that time, we traveled down to the Italian city after our wedding. That trip was quite an adventure with some unexpected turns of events. When we returned in September 2018 it marked the end of our short return trip to […]
