An Island small enough to walk around where taxis are way to expensive
This was my first couch surfing experience ever and let me say it was a good one. I stayed with a guy I met on couch surfing and his girlfriend. They were the most hospitable people I have ever seen and we had a great time relaxing and catching up on travel stories.
Malta is a very small island. You can get anywhere on the island from the capital of Valletta within hours. I am sure the gas is pretty expensive here as the taxis were a rip off…but I had no idea where I was going. Pretty much every day I took one of those busses where you jump on and jump off. I can’t say it was the best experience because I could not figure out their route or which one to take, so I just ended up wherever. I went to some Old Stone Age ruins which were beautiful then to the grotto where I had the chance to meet some Venezuelans, so I spent the day talking to them and having drinks.
The next couple days I went to an old medieval fort and hung around there for most of the day taking pictures and going to shows as it was a pretty chilled out day, and I was not a fan of the heat….
The last day I spent time just wandering around the town and seeing all of the sights and walking along the beach front until I reached their apartment. I can say it was a lot of walking….
How do I like Malta? I loved it!!! They have a good combo of food and also enough things to do on the beach that you will never get bored. I have some friends that live there now that I will probably go and visit!!!!
