I went on holiday last week to Malta. It's a small island near Italy and it was super hot, but extremely beautiful as well. We stayed in the Mellieha Bay hotel, which I believe is a 5 star hotel and it was amazing! Our room had a balcony with a gorgeous view of the island and of the hotel pool. Pus the hotel had its own beach which was great because we spent most of our days there, just reading and relaxing in the sun, trying to get a tan. Obviously with the occasional paddling of my feet, because lets face it, I can't actually swim! The sea was really clear and was such a gorgeous blue.
I have to admit that on the first day, because I didn't realise how hot it actually was, I managed to burn my feet. They are still burnt now, but not so sore...but come on, who thinks to put sun cream on their feet?? And then on the last day, I managed to burn my back, but thanks to my moisturiser it went down in a couple of days (I will talk more about that in tomorrows post).
On the second day we took a boat ride around the whole of Malta. Now I would not recommend that you do this as you are on a boat all day looking at sea and rocks and more sea...I just fell asleep, oops! However, you do get dropped off at the Blue Lagoon for a couple hours which is a gorgeous part of the island with incredibly blue sea, except for the fact that there was no beach and there is like an inch of rock where hundreds of people try to all squeeze onto (slight exaggeration, but still). It is a very rocky place and is all up hill, with no flat ground, but apart from that, it is gorgeous to look at from above on the higher ground.
We also went to the island next door to Malta, again on a boat, and this was Gozo. Malta and Gozo are really religious islands and they take great pride in that. We got to visit one of the churches in Gozo and it was stunning, we did have to cover up though, but the only picture I have of that is a blurry one. We got to stop off at little markets and a lace making cottage, which was incredibly cute. At one of the stops we went on a little boat rides to see all the caves, but the sea was really choppy, so that was scary.
On our last day in Malta we got a bus that took us into the town and there were so many jewellery shops. But the main reason we went there was to see the church. We could see this church from our room in the Hotel, but it wasn't open to people during the day, only in the evening...so we looked around the outside of it instead. Next to this church was a World War 1 or 2 (I can't remember) shelter and it was a cave with information about the war and was just quite historical.
On our relaxing days, we mainly just sat by the beach, relaxing, sun bathing, reading...eating (a lot). Or going for a swim in the pool, but not me because I hate the idea of being in a bikini. It's okay, because my sister got her own back as I was sat on the edge of the pool and she pulled me in, whilst I was till fully clothed... Thanks Nat!
As we paid for All Inclusive, we could literally eat food all day, so I did (don't judge). Water was also included in this, which was great because I get super dehydrated in hot weather...Stay hydrated people!! Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner were the best, especially dessert at dinner because if we couldn't decide between the millions of choices, we just took all of them #noregrets.
I had such a great time on my holiday and you can check out my Instagram and Twitter for more photos.
I will leave you with possibly one of my favourite photos and it just makes me laugh so much.. I was trying to get my balance and not fall over and Nat, well she was just being Nat!
Thanks for reading,
