My wife injured herself at work, requiring her to be in a wheel chair just 4 weeks before we were due to fly. We spoke to archers over the phone regarding this problem, and they made all the arrangements for wheelchair transfers and people to meet us at both airports - this all went like clockwork. we were met as soon as we past from the arrivals exit, by a minibus driver to transfer us to Qwara ,(he wouldn't take a tip from us even after taking both our cases and loading and un loading the wheel chair and taking us into the hotel reception).
We had a sea view room with a balcony on the first floor next to the lift. The hotel Qwara Palace was very nice with a choice of three or more main meals at evening dinner or you could eat at the pizza restaurant or bar restaurant. The main pool area was large with plenty of sun beds, one smaller pool for the little ones was a nice touch so was the indoor pool with two whirlpool tubs too keep those midday rays of delicate skin.
We took our first trip out, on the evening we arrived. it was via horse and cart around the local area, a little pricey but well worth it. the next morning we were met by our rep with drinks and a host of local information.
We booked two trips with her . the round Malta cruise and a trip to Gozo with lunch. both trips were good but with a wheel chair, the stop at Comino to swim at the blue grotto was not so easy, access was limited for my wife (to many steps)so she was unable to do much during the three hour stop.
Night time in Malta is when it really comes to life, fireworks can be seen most nights and all the locals come out for walks along the proms next to the sea front. We went every night for an evening stroll- well a push anyway to the next town Bugiba and back passing street traders but were never hassled-so refreshing.
We hired a car one day to travel round the island at our own pace, driving on the left same as here. Unfortunately I did travel too fast through the tunnel at Triq Mikiel Anton Vassalli regional road and yes the speeding fine does catch up with you in the UK and yes you do have to pay it (the wonders of the EU).
Our trip to Gozo was very nice an escorted tour visiting Azzure window and the inland sea, several small villages and lunch overlooking a small bay. the afternoon we visited the Ggantija temples the oldest megalithic free standing structure in the world. this is where my photos look like I've captured Bart Simson banging on the wall.
Our final day trip was to Valletta. It was from here at the Barracca gardens (free to get in)that you can see the firing of the noonday gun and also enjoy the fantastic views of the harbour. Whilst in Valletta you should go to fort Almo and see the George cross awarded to the Maltese people and reflect on what they went through during the war.
The old joke about Malta, is it will be nice when its finished- a lot of building work is being undertaken on the islands and some of its charm has been lost in its strive to become a part of the modern EU . but look beyond this and some fantastic places still exist.
A test of how good a holiday is to me, is "would I return" my answer in this case is "I wish I was still there"
Sample the history and culture of sunny Malta with its friendly people and small reminders of home.
