Lazy Sunday Afternoon

Finally our body clocks are adjusting, we actually slept until nearly 6am….we were up enjoying our morning coffee in time to welcome the young polish crew (from the neighbouring apartment) arriving back from a night on the town…..looking somewhat less jolly than when they left to taste the party life of Malta at 9pm last night.

Sue and Trudi took off to the Sunday car boot market in Birgu, an old haunt and still as busy as ever at 7am. Extremely hot and dusty and picked up a few great bargains – mainly lightweight summer clothes!!! They may not make it back to New Zealand but will certainly be useful in the current climate! All purchases came home to go straight in the washing machine.

By 9am we were back and Russ was fed and watered and ready for a swim. A short stroll to the little beach on the corner with the Sunday families.

A Maltese family with 2-3 year old girl triplets enjoying the cool water.

This image was capturing the container leaving port and, as a bonus, the rear end of a female swimmer (for all you blokes still wrapped in winter woolies)

Back to apartment for a quick shower and off to Kev and Rols (the apartment we will eventually inhabit before this trip is over) for lunch. Family time – good food – laughter and relaxing. Now back in Birzebuggia for a quiet evening while we plan tomorrow’s adventures.
