Travels

This was our last day in Malta. We packed and loaded the car in the morning and checked out around 11:00 am. Drove towards the old town of Vitoriosa and this was a great experience since we had some unstructured time. Drove down narrow lanes, by the Grand Harbor and eventually found ourselves at a fort. This was the first time I drove inside a fort along incredibly narrow and steep cobblestone paths but eventually reached a point with incredible views of the Harbor, Valetta and the surrounding areas. Then had lunch at a local pub where the food was good and cheap. Since we still had some time we decided to explore the less touristy side of Malta and ended up driving through sleepy small villages and also saw an ancient temple site from the outside. Also saw a terrible accident, finally decided it was time to get to the airport and unloaded bags there, returned the car, and checked in for the flight to Heathrow. The airport had some Internet terminals and Bebo got his fill of the familiar games!

The flight was uneventful and more or less on time. The taxi was there and it took about 30 minutes to get to the hotel is Hounslow. The Best Western in Hounslow was terrible. We did a room service and then called it a day. Avoid there Master Roberts Hotel in Hounslow.
