I took more photos…

… because that is one of my goals for 2020!

I spent last weekend in Malta, a tiny island in the middle of the Mediterranean, filled to the brim with Brits, and Western clothing shops. Despite the beauty of the old civilisations, it is crowded, even in Winter, and I struggled to find any true refuge from the noise.

From Stone age farmers, to Romans, to Arabs, to Normans, to Knights, to French, and finally to British, the nation of Malta has changed hands many times, only gaining independence in the 1960’s and joining the EU in 2004. It boasts some of the earliest stone buildings in the world, before the Great Pyramids, and Stonehenge, as well as many beautiful beaches and landscapes.

The museums, however, were lacking, and as well as looking like high school science project displays, did not hold the answers to many of my questions. Despite this, the country continues to win multiples tourism and creative art awards, and could be worth a visit, but rumour has it don’t go in Summer.
