Tonight we went out for a farewell dinner. We chose the same restaurant we had
dinner for Laurel’s birthday on Monday night. It overlooks
Spinola Bay. We say goodbye to both Laurel and Malta in the morning. Laurel
flies back to Australia and we fly back to Rome. It has been nice having a familiar face (and friend) with
us.
Malta is not normally a country Australians
would visit but a friend of Laurel’s visited here last year and enjoyed it so
we thought ‘why not’. I am glad we
came. The Maltese are a relaxed
and friendly race which makes travelling here easy and enjoyable. It is a Mediterranean country with a
dry and rocky landscape surrounded by a rugged beautiful coastline. The local food and wine have been yummy
with seafood, roast vegetables, dips not to mention the delicious Maltese bread 'ftira'. I would like to try to make
it one day, similar to sourdough.
For us, the past three weeks with Laurel
have been like a holiday within a holiday. It has been busy at times sight seeing but that is what you
do when you visit new places with only a short amount of time.
As usual time has flown and now we move
on.
