VIDEO – 2 Harbours Cruise, Malta 2012


A short video of our harbour cruise on 29th February.

Heading out to sea making our way back from the Grand Harbour of Valletta back to Sliema Harbour on a breezy day. We took the traditional Latini cruise boat as opposed to the larger and more modern Captain Morgan cruise. The smaller boat can get into places the bigger boat cannot. Two harbours visiting 10 creeks.

We did a fair bit of rolling around on the waves and some people got a bit wetter than others – especially the couple at the front in the yellow and blue tops on the right hand side.

Don’t forget to take a look at the rest of my photos taken in Malta between 27th February and 1st March 2012

Serious holiday destinations – from Cyprus


So, it looks like Paphos airport here we come!

BUT, don’t hold your breathe waiting for us in UK  ’cos that’s not where we’ll be heading…

Ryanair have now added 14 more routes to their Cyprus programme providing us with a whole list of European destinations.

It looks like Italy and Greece will be visited in the not too distant future but I also saw quite a few other places that take my fancy such as Poland and Lithuania. Now, if they add Norway and another Spanish destination – I will be very happy indeed :-)

Hang on a minute though, first I’ve got to get Luxor (Egypt), Las Vegas, Iceland, Dubai, Petra and a few other destinations under my belt :-(

Maybe these new ones will have to go on the back burner for a little while although with prices starting at €20,99 one way – they are extremely tempting!
