We had a very pleasant meal out last night the restaurant is very near the hotel and wasn't too much of a jaunt which is as well as my legs were near dropping off. A bit of a Kate night really but I slept fairly well and was up ready for breakfast at 7 an once more, I discovered that the hotel breakfast boasted more than just cake but nobody had ever shown me and it was amongst the area used for their noodle bar not somewhere I'd be rooting about in anyway this evening I discovered that there is a Waitrose around the corner so I stocked up on snacks and done fruit for tomorrow so I don't have to worry about finding a shop , it isn't the same standard you'd get in UK and it was full of svetlanas and a carier bag cost about 20p. I went up to the top of the hill at the naxxor quarry's and got just over an hour of film the temperature was warm and subdued light at that time of day really just right for filming. Then I wandered around picking up a road back towards the docks and found no boats unloading so I did some film on the dual carriage way after I'd taken the strange week days route through the harbour which takes you past the hills of the old bus fleet which has been evicted from storage inside giving way to some song contest which you could hear in the back ground, this doesn't bode well for the buds which are already in a poor state although each has a sheet in the window with its number and Malta heritage on but I wouldn't think that many will ever make it to a museum best key the local operators have them back and let them don't hem up and restore the traditional service. Round the back of the dusk carriageway I wandered around as there were a few oldies going there noticed this before the stench should have been the give away its the public abattoir . Then I spent the afternoon at the roundabout in the road back in towards Valletta from the airport I spot I found a few trips back and great exempt it rained and I sheltered under a house canopy it's up for sale so I don't think anybody was about. A first ever I got some anise from a passing Maltese van driver also noted that they are now in to the covering their face with their hand or papers when they see a camera, very rare but an alarming new tend for the island no doubt spread from the UK via east Europeans. The Africans now gave huts replacing their tents and seem to be employed ever more widely. I got a wide range of lorries and cans today it's harder to get really old gens these days but still much of interest from leyland, Bedford, scammels , and a few odds and ends . I fly tomorrow evening and leave the car at the airport about 6 but bit could be a lot earlier as there are storm force winds in the morning so I can't see me standing on hill sides I'll consult with the lads this evening we are meeting up in the Scotsman pub. Pictures probably Thursday ill blog from the airport tomorrow evening.
