Is it in Malta or on Malta? (Because it’s an island.) Who knows? But fuck it, it’s my blog so I’m sticking with in!

Let’s face it. Week 3 was pretty shitty. The weather wasn’t great for a few days, I worked a lot, I got a bit lonely and I didn’t do as much exploring as I would’ve hoped. I’m pleased to report that week 4 was a darn sight better though! Here’s why: Monday (Day 22): Monday ..read more
