Sandstone on GozoI went to Malta for Christmas and Hanukkah with the family (15 and a half of us). I don’t really know what I thought Malta would be like, but it wasn’t really like I expected – I thought it would have more of a Greek island feel to it. It’s lovely with beige sandstone buildings and sea wherever you look. We had a drive around Valletta on the first day and it deserves its world heritage site status. Then off to the island of Gozo where we were all staying.

We had hired three farmhouses to accommodate the various family groups and this worked out well. I spent the week sight seeing, walking, exploring temples and towns and we played lots and lots of silly games. On Christmas day we amused (or bemused?) the locals with a treasure hunt around the village of Xaghra. Maltese people are really friendly and when the 4th group of treasure hunters passed there were families waiting to cheer us on.

Great holiday…
