Copenhagen, day 1, 230825
Very Early Start, A Very Danish Day The alarm went off at the unsociable hour of 4:00 a.m., dragging us from sleep in anticipation of an early flight from Humberside to Amsterdam, with a connection on to Copenhagen. We got ready, still half asleep, grabbed a quick cuppa in the hotel breakfast area, and made…

Valletta, Malta, day 6, 280625
We didn’t rush to get up today. We had to check out by 11:00, and our flight wasn’t leaving until 20:15 (or so we thought). So we had quite a bit of time to kill. After we’d had a cuppa, packed our bags and left them with reception until later, we ventured out into the…

Gozo, day 5, 270625
After feeling well and truly medicined by the wine pairings that accompanied our 7 course blind tasting menu at Legligin the night before, the last thing we thought we’d be doing was catching a fast ferry to Gozo. After having a cuppa in our hotel room, we skipped breakfast and headed to the fast ferry…

Ħaġar Qim and Mnajdra Temples, Marsaxlokk and Birgu, Malta, day 4, 260625
Day 4 and we had planned a bit of culture by visiting some ancient temples in Malta, which I learned about whilst doing research for this trip. Dated around 3600BC, they were built before Stonehenge and the Pyramids of Giza. They are located on the southern coast of Malta, near the village of Qrendi. It’s…

Valletta and Mdina, Malta, day 3, 250625
After we’d had breakfast at the rooftop restaurant again, we went to catch a bus to Mdina as planned. We thought it best to go from the main bus terminal, which is close to the Triton Fountain, and a short walk from our hotel. After we’d sussed out how to get there – line 52,…

Valletta, Malta, day 2, 240625
It was a leisurely get up before we headed to the rooftop restaurant for breakfast. We managed to get a table outside, overlooking the city. One of the front of house staff showed us the ropes. Breakfast was a combination of traditional English breakfast, continental and Middle Eastern. Once we’d eaten we headed out into…

Valletta, Malta, day 1, 230625
After a very early get up, we arrived at Gatwick South Terminal with time for a light breakfast before boarding for our 06:15 British Airways flight to Valletta. The aircraft door wouldn’t shut so there was a bit of a delay whilst we waited got an engineer to arrive. We eventually took off at 06:40,…

Sandals Royal Bahamian Resort, day 10, 060425
Today was our last full day on the resort. It was mainly a chill out day, spent on the beach. There isn’t much to add because of that, only that we enjoyed being busy not doing anything. Lunch was brought to us by Logesh, which was a big bowl of chilli nachos. We’ve noticed that,…

Sandals Royal Bahamian Resort, day 9, 050425
Today started off with steak and eggs in La Plume. The French restaurant is actually really good at a la carte breakfasts. The steak was a well-seasoned medium cooked sirloin, and I had two fried eggs (over easy of course), and hash browns. JC fancied a mimosa as well, so we had that too. Our…

Sandals Beach and Caribbean Critters, day 8, 040425
Friday 4th and we’ve been here for a week now. We’ve settled into the Caribbean way, chilling out and enjoying the weather down on the beach at Sandals Royal Bahamian Resort. We had breakfast at La Plume again, then a quick change into beach attire before heading down to our usual spot. Sun-beds, towels and…
