Well this is our last day in Malta and the kids are going to do their own thing today and I got packed up with drinks and food and ready to explore...I wanted to go back to one of the beaches we passed in the car the other day..so I walked to the bus station waited 30 minutes for a bus and 1.50 Euros 💶 later I was at the stop leading to this amazing sight!!!
I walked down to the beach
and then along the front and up that big hill to the summit and the view of the next bay...
It was a tad difficult coming down here...
This bay is also quite spectacular and I checked at the beach hut and for the great price of 10 Euros I could rent this baby for two hours!!!
No deposit...no waiver forms to sign.....just given a life jacket which they put on the seat for me to sit on a paddle and away I went..
Great to be back on the ocean again..come along for a paddle...
Where I hiked...
Where I have paddled from...
And a nice surprise around the next headland ....this fabulous cave!!!
Then paddled across the bay and back it was very hot and a lot of fun...
Rested on the beach ate my lunch and had a swim in the Mediterranean 🌊 and peeked with my bad eye at the sun bathers...you know what they do in Europe 😎😎😎😎😉😉
Then started my journey home and I walked to the bus stop only to find a sign saying the buses were temporarily suspended...no worries plan B....walk!!
I walked about three miles and decided to stick out my thumb and only a few minutes later this airport type transportation van stopped and the driver told me to hop in....
He was from Sierra Leon and was really nice and when he found out I was from Canada he shook my hand and asked me so many questions......he said he was going close to where the apartment is and dropped me off....I tried very hard to pay him but he would have none of it.....such a 👍 guy!!
The kids had a wonderful time too..they walked a little on the promenade and then had lunch and then went on a 90 minute boat cruise around one of the small islands....
How nice we all had a great day!!!
Tonight my treat and we went back to our home restaurant the owner greets us like family.....tonight was pizza for us all.
On the way home..
Janet and Malc have spent what seems like hours packing their suitcases...joshing Janet!!!!
The last game of Scrabble......no comment!!!
It has been wonderful to spend time in a new country with Janet and Malc we do not see each other often but always it is so nice we all get along and care for each other.....
Did I mention we leave at 4.45 am tomorrow morning......YES!!!!!!
You read that right!!!

Cool pics! Safe travels.
Thanks another great journey ...we have a good life don’t we???? Les
What a nice day! That is a very slick kayak, your pictures are amazing, the Med is awesome.
It really was a great time and the kayak is ok for warm water and calm waters...and yes I am proud of some of the shots thanks lp
When you took the kayak on the Med, your photos reflected a whole different world, as if the towns and the cities were nowhere nearby--just beautiful.
P.S. I meant to ask you--How much tide ebb and flow does the Med have around Malta or does it have any? When you were using the kayak, just wondering if you experienced any tidal action.
It was a great time I love being on the water that was only a kayak for very safe and close to shore activity and no swells there is a very small tide maybe a couple of feet but if you check out the video of the tanker on the rocks you see there how big the storms can be..best wishes Les
