Malta 4
Lightning trip to look at some hotels and food was on our minds.
Quiz question. Tell me the reg no. of a bus in Valletta.
Saturday lunch. Marsasloxx looking at traditional boats in the harbour on a warm December day. Even though it was half past one we decided on a quick lunch. Fish soup followed by prawn & porcini risotto and langoustine ravioli. Good stuff but the restaurant shot itself in the foot by serving a complimentary platter of biscuits with beans and humus before any of our order arrived. After a lovely fish soup we were both full. The mains also took a long time to arrive and they were obviously freshly cooked but we were full before they arrived. Nice boats.
Saturday evening. Walked into Valletta looking for a bit of local colour and chose Lucianos. Feta salad at 4 euros was so huge that we couldn't finish it but before we'd eaten half of it the mains arrived. Rabbit in white wine and garlic and beef olives. Server apologised when she saw we were still ploughing through the salad. We asked them to hold the mains and they did. Probably too long. When they brought them back to the table partners beef dish was cold. They re heated it but the damage was done. We paid up and left not eating much of the mains.
Sunday Lunch. Wagamama and Sushi. I apologise but we were in a rush.
Sunday in St Pauls Bay in the north. A holidaymaker hotel with holiday maker food. Awful. Saved by the cheese course where real local cheeses were available. The smallest glass of wine I've ever had. Room was crap. One wifi code per device. We had 4 devices. Bathroom had a unlockable glass swing door.
Monday on the road on the way to the airport. Stopped at a cheapo sandwich shop and bought 2 warm egg and sausage pizza slices and an apple pie for just over 2 euros the lot. Delicious.
Answer BUS + any number up to 403. BUS is a reserved eg. no. for busses. Now ask me about cabs...
