The corona fright on Malta increased during our stay and we decided to stay closer to Marsaskala, the place where we were staying, for a day. We had already explored the playgrounds of Marsaskala as well as the playgrounds in Sliema. In addition, we had visited the fortress in Birgu. […]
During my three last visits to Malta, my base has been in or around Sliema. This time was different, but that doesn’t mean that we skipped the place entirely. Little A and I took a short trip to Sliema also this time. Luckily it was easy to combine with a […]
Staying in Marsaskala during our trip turned up to be great for exploring new parts of the island. During earlier visits, we had mostly seen the part west of Valletta. This time Little A and I could enjoy the eastern part of the island as well. Valletta is a must […]
After arriving on Malta, for a week’s vacation in early March, it was soon time to enjoy what the island had to offer. As I was traveling alone with our 3-year-old Little A, it turned out to be a trip where we explored both new places and new playgrounds. Luckily […]
