The Maltese Hungarian

My friend Cindy asked me way back in February if I would like to meet up in Malta. I knew nothing about Malta at the time, but it sounded fun, so I booked a flight. I am so glad I did. Malta is so beautiful. It's warm and sunny and even though it was still just a little too cold to swim in the Mediterranean, it was the perfect little tropical mini-break to get me through the sometimes cold, sometimes hot, always crazy Hungarian spring.

These Vintage Buses are the only way to travel in Malta. Luckily they're cheap and cute!

The aptly named Blue Lagoon

Malta is very quiet and peaceful. In hindsight we probably should have done far more research about what we wanted to do before going, because we ended up wandering around aimlessly, vastly over-paying for transportation. We spent all of Saturday  shopping and seeing the sights in Valletta, the capital, because we had to be near a wifi connection in order to select an apartment for the coming school year. On Sunday, we decided to do water related activities, which started with a ride on the front of a little boat over to the blue lagoon, and ended with us climbing around in sea-caves after being semi-stranded on the practically deserted island of Comino. In spite of our poor planning, I had a blast catching up and getting into trouble with one of my best friends. I miss home and F&M , so seeing a familiar face was just great. (The fact that we were on a sunny island didn't hurt either!)
