Rest assured though, we are having a good time, and finding plenty to do on this interesting island. It might be a small island, but by the time we go home, there will still be bits we haven’t seen. We haven’t even seen Valetta yet!
We are getting old hands at riding the buses now and we love their registrations …
… as you can see they all start with the letters BUS followed by their unique bus numbers. A lot of the buses are bendy buses which means they can get a lot of people in. The streets are quite narrow so there have been a few exciting squeezes. Arriva have only just taken over the service but some of the buses are not looking as new as they should!
We have done 3 more coastal walks since our last post and 1 inland one. We simply love to see the sea and when there are sandy bays and dramatic rocky headlands and high cliffs to take in, it becomes all the more exciting. It is rather different to the coastline round home.
We had a special treat on Thursday when our walk took in the filmset of Popeye. A whole village was created round a small harbour mouth and we got to see it without having to pay the entrance fee.
We’ve never seen the film, but might have to track it down when we get home.
All our walking means we need some suitable fuel to sustain us. Our ham sandwiches have been supplemented by some delicious mini pies from a pastizzeria we pass on the way to the bus station.
Here we are enjoying the pea and cheese varieties.
Back with more news soon, but perhaps not too soon as we’ll be making the most of our last evening tomorrow and the evening after we’ll be flying home.
Lots of love, the Malteser Bears xxx
P.S. we hope the Suffolk Branch have had a good trip to York

Mmm pea pies sound yummy - hope you got the recipe for Oakley to try and recreate them. Thought you might have had some spinach pies in honour of Popeye though! Have you dipped your paws in the sea yet?
We did Aunty M and it was very cold, you'd never have thought it was the Med.
Love from us all xxx
