Malta (5) - Malta at night

Nach unserer Rückkehr wurden wir von allen gefragt, wie uns Malta denn gefallen habe. Keine Frage, es war ein schöner Urlaub, wenn auch nicht der schönste Urlaub war, den wir je hatten. Das Wetter war meist traumhaft, das Essen war gut und der Wein sowohl lecker als auch günstig. Und wenn wir beides gerade mal nicht genossen haben, dann waren wir mal wieder unterwegs, noch ein paar Nachtbilder zu schießen.

After returning home we were asked if we liked Malta. Well, it was nice even though it wasn't one of our best vacations ever. The weather was fabulous most of the time, food was yum and the wine was delicious and cheap. And whenever we were not busy enjoying either of them we were out for some nightshots.

during daytime a great place to enjoy a glass of Aperol Spritz (bitter orange liqueur with Prosecco)

All over Malta there's always a "festa" where the local saint is celebrated. Everything is illuminated and even the churches look as if it was Christmas. This one was the Feast of St Publius in Floriana.
