Great Duck Weather

Day two back in Malta and the Rain has followed us, but at least we have a car!

We dropped Julie to Kevin’s in readiness to fly off today and went into town to do some business stuff! All went very smoothly as the rain got heavier and heavier.

Feeling very much like a coffee and something to eat, by 11.30, we headed to a cafe we knew had a nice indoor area.

Rivers running down the roads and streets! (On the up side providing the car with a much needed rinse)

The breakfast menu finished at midday and at 11.55am we ordered our full cooked English breakfast and a large cappuccino for €9 (the first bacon and eggs I have had since leaving NZ)

Russ has had a change from the green sweater today and is sporting his Orange jacket (that his workmates gave him for his leaving present). Definitely brightening up a dull day!

Still raining heavily (I seriously didn’t think it rained this much in Malta – just showing it’s human side!), we thought we would pop in and see my cousin Anna! Who was at home and we had a great catch up with her.

No sign of the wet abating, we thought we better head home before the work traffic. I must say Maltese drivers are much more cautious in the wet weather!

We took a little detour to Senglea to see our favourite town.

Two massive tourist ships in for the day. Earlier on our travels, we had seen a hop on hop off bus (with top deck open) quite full with the passengers all sightseeing with umbrellas up! How miserable! Their impression of this beautiful island may not be as we know it – a day in the rain is not too much fun!

Across in the grand harbour (Vittoriosa side) the big boys are resting for the off season.

Back to our home in Figura to snaffle a car park, before the evening shoppers come out (all things opening again at 4pm after siesta), and here we are hunkered down for the evening – just two Kiwi wanderers left to tell the tale!
