Remember our question to you from the other day, of whether Paradise Beach lived up to it's name or not? We're got a much easier opinion poll for you today.
We'll introduce today's question by saying that we're not great fans of beach huts - they do rather spoil a fine coastline. However, but we infinitely prefer a British beach hut to some of the Maltese equivalents. What do you think to these examples that we're sitting outside ...?
... are we sitting outside a concentration camp barracks or a 'must have' seafront property?
Sadly, these were not isolated examples. There are some areas of Malta where there are so many shack-like beach properties that we really felt like we were walking through shanty towns. We do understand that the Maltese government is trying to do something about them and it's about time we say.
The good thing about Malta though is that there's far more beautiful coastline than blighted coastline. You never have to walk very far to be back in scenery that makes your heart sing for the beauty of it.
Our second picture was taken not far on from our first and in between we'd seen some spectacular erosion giving rise to caves and arches. We certainly had to watch our paws while walking in the area of our picture as we didn't want to fall down a fissure this deep!
Lots of love, the Malteser bears xxx
