Good start in Malta despite mixed weather

Greetings from Malta which at present is fair heaving with transport enthusiast . Ryanair were their usual obnoxious selves but the lounge offered cream teas at Liverpool . As I went to get on the Ryanair woman grabbed my hand luggage which is all I have and said it had to go in the hold I decided it was best to do direct action and not argue so as I walked across the Tarmac I just ripped off the stick from my case and off the boarding card hiding the bit that showed something had been torn three was no problem getting it stowed and I had a really great flight chatting to a lovely couple from Liverpool who were on their second Malta visit. The hotel is good in bits like very clean but breakfast was useless and it is slightly noisy but bearable but nothing English language on the television and the only free wi go is in reception areas which is pretty well back in the dark ages . The weather was great first thing this morning at Valletta but later turned into short sharp showers and remained on and off all day tomorrow might be similar. There was plenty of bus action going on around triton fountain area and I did manage to cover several more of thenpopularcareas such as sliema. It's about twenty degrees in the day if you get wet is drugs quick. Day two of bus coverage tomorrow may do a bit of the remembrance service bus diversions but I don't want too much Valletta when there are so many other areas to cover. A fair number of truck gems being used in new road construction and an interesting truck scene at st Julian's bay with Bedford tuk uploading a wrecked car at sea level in stormy weather . It was good to be able to catch up with friends from England some from Manchester bus museum and a lot from another group on tour. Off to bed now and ready for an early start on Sunday morning.
