Cool pics, the plants and bus pics are the best, I think!

Looks like a nice place to holiday. Nice shots.

 

[Medvedya]

For sure it is, but have anti-mosquito spray on stand-by though! I think that they have some kind of special stealth mode on the islands, because I never heard them coming.

Nice pics! One of my friends goes there every year and loves it, I think ill have to try and get there some time.

Nice pics med did you see the Popeye village personally I think its a waste af a nice bay. I dont like to mention this Med but there appears to be two bits of string hanging from the bottom of your shorts

 

[Medvedya]

But I have lurvleey knees dontyatink?

Popeye Village - We drove past it, but we were rushing to catch the Gozo Ferry.

Swell piccies, mate.
I'll bet it's a great place to vacation. I've never been there. It looks somewhat barren though.

There's a full crate of beer near the coast of Malta somewhere - I ask my dad to find out exactly where. Next person to go - be sure to take diving gear to recover it. Keep in mind it'll have been there since 1974 (if it hasn't been recovered already).

Great pictures, Med. The beer one was the best - for all the obvious reasons.

Great pics... Nice place....

pD, dont know if I would drink a beer from 1974 dude... Beer doesnt age like Wine...... I'd be afraid of getting some sorta new disease named after me......

 

[plan_D]

Hey, I'm not going to drink it. I want them to drink it for the exact reason that it doesn't age like wine.

Nice Pics, looks like you had a great time.

A bit of news....

I've managed to swing an internship at the National Army Museum in London!

http://www.national-army-museum.ac.uk/

Bit of a surprise, since I applied for it with a 'Wadda I haf ta lose' view - guess they liked me!

Needless to say, I am like, well chuffed! I confirm all the details for it in the middle of next week. 8) 8) 8)

 

[Nonskimmer]

Well now. That looks pretty sweet indeed.
But what exactly does this internship involve? I'm just curious. It's interesting enough, no doubt.

 

[Medvedya]

Not very glamourous I'm afraid - It's basically being an unpaid dogsbody in the museum.

However, it's a start, and I badly need to get started on this sort of stuff.

 

[Nonskimmer]

Well it's sure to be an experience.

 

[Gnomey]

Nice pics Med! Malta is cool. Gozo is great too. I have been to the Azure Window, it is really nice - especially for cliff diving Don't remember the mosquitoes being so bad there though!

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

I think it would be pretty fun of a job, to work at a historical military museum.

 

[evangilder]

That should be fun, Med! Being a museum volunteer myself, I can tell you that a lot of the time it's pretty unglamorous (trash detail, sweeping floors, dusting cases, etc). But when you see the eyes of the children light up and see the folks take interest in what you are preserving, it's worth it. During the air show, I got a cut on my head and my hand crunched in a tow bar, both are funny but uninteresting stories. I wouldn't take anything back though.

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Ahhhh Tow bars. I hate them. I get my thumbs smashed in them all the time.
