Malta in summary:

beautiful Mediterranean island, Influenced by the English with a horrible public transportation. I love it here. :-)

I have been meaning to go to Malta for a while now. I paid 22E for my flight from Oslo to get to Luqa. That was my cheapest ticket I ever bought given the distance travelled. Thank you RyanAir and my apologies environment.

Upon arrival all building seem to be of the same color - yellowish and orangish colour which looks boring The island is actually composed of three islands. Malta is tiny but it takes for ever to get to places using the public transpiration. There is usually one bus per hour and often they are late or never show up. If you miss your bus you then have to wait another hour for the second one to come. It happened to us a few times. Once we ended up stranded in the middle of nowhere trying to hitch a ride back home. But the adventure doesn't begin until something goes wrong :-) We had a great time. I met wonderful people: Croatian, Italian, Chinese, Polish, Israeli, English and Canadian

We saw the most important POI’s. The most impressive one was the Golden bay where we went for a hike. We did a bit of climbing to get to the top and it was worth it. We were just on time for the sunset which was beautiful.

Food is cheap. Hostels are cheap. It is off season now so there is fewer tourists which allows you to truly explore the island and get to know it better.

I made a few good friends including my Italian/Chinese friend with whom i did a lot of sight seeing. We also met a few Canadians on the way with whom we hung out at the Strawberry festival and went hiking. I usually slept only a few hours a night and I am now sleep deprived but i dont care haha I managed to go out too fI went to a few bars and met some locals. They are easy going people and it didn't take long for us to hit it off.

We didn't really plan that much. Usually it was a series of coincidences that happened to us that brought us together. It was random sometimes but it always worked and we always had a good time.

What I enjoyed most was not the places I saw but the people i was with when seeing these places. I was very lucky to come across them. It was thanks to them that I had such a good time there. I am thankful to them for that. I also met up with my high school friend who I haven't seen in 7 years. It was awesome to catch up :-)

I am off to Cyprus now. Will travel to Paphos for one night to get to see the city. I found couches for all my nights there which is really cool.

Stay tuned and check out some of the pics from my Malta posts :).
