I can't believe it's been a year since I went to check out this beautiful rock column known as il-Mara (the woman), which sticks out proudly from the coast beneath Fort Benghisa.It's always good to remind ourselves of all the gorgeous places Malta has to offer. 😊

New blog post alert! 😎Mgarr Ix-Xini is one of the most panoramic sites in Gozo. It’s a very popular location for swimming, snorkeling, diving and of course rock climbing.For me, what makes is even more intriguing is the old pumping station situated in the heart of the valley.Link in the bio! 🙃

The Old Railway Station.It's been few weeks since we visited, but I completely forgot to share it with you, so let me do it now. :)The Maltese train, known as Il-vapur tal-art, was in service for 48 years, running between 1883 and 1931. The 11 km trip from Valletta to Mtarfa, the train’s last stop, lasted about 20-30 mins. Otherwise it would take minimum of 3 hours.The Malta Railway consisted of a single railway and had 12 stations, including the first station in Valletta and the last station in Mtarfa. Even though the train had scheduled stops at particular platforms and stations it would occasionally slow down to pick up people that were on their way to the station. They would just wave at the train engineer to let him know that they would like to get on board.Normally there would be two trains operating at the same time, one starting from Valletta and one leaving from Mtarfa and they would meet at the central station in Bikrirkara. Although Malta only had single-track lines, most stations had a side track.The Birkirkara Station, at the time spelled “Birchircara”, because of the Italian influence on the language, was considered to be of strategic importance along the route. It was also referred to as the Central Railway Station.On one of the carriages there was a metal box affixed to the side. This was a letter box, where commuters could mail their letters. At the Birchircara Station the mail was collected and distributed accordingly by the General Post Office.The only surviving original Third Class Railway Carriage of the Malta Railway has lately been restored and placed in front of the Birchircara Railway Station, namely The Railway Museum. This Carriage was one of the 33 passenger carriages which the railway had.The Old Railway Station is now surrounded by a playground & a park.#ThrowbackThursday

Trekking from Xatt L-Ahmar to Mgarr ix-Xini (almost).Gozo is always a good choice. Every time I visit I like to go to places I haven't been before.This time my dad chose a cool trek from Xatt L-Ahmar to Mgarr ix-Xini. Me and Olly made it about half way there. 🙈 It was way too hot, Olly was not in the mood and I couldn't carry him the entire time. 🥴Me and Olly ended up going back to the car park and drove to Mgarr ix-Xini to pick up dad. On the way we stopped to say hello to couple of horses. 🐎When we got to Mgarr ix-Xini, we had to test the water a little. Please excuse my silly trekking tan and 'butchered' legs from all the bushes I went through the last week of trekking. 😅Anyways, we tried, we didn't succeed, but we didn't give up. We'll be back in autumn when it's not so hot. ☀️#MondayMotivation

National Museum of ArchaeologyWhen it's too hot to breathe, we hide in a museum. 😉 It's quite embarrassing to say, that this was my very first time visiting the National Museum of Archaeology in Valletta.I wasn't sure if this kind of attraction would be interesting enough for a 2, 5 year old, but surprisingly it was, especially the glass floor and we spent a good hour walking around.No, I didn't read much of those informative signs, but I took a lot of pictures and will study them when I have time. Even without reading a lot, the exhibition was very interesting and we really enjoyed it.And I was also happy to finally see the famous 'Fat Lady' even though I always thought she was so much bigger!Might dedicate a photo blog to this attraction later on, but it's definitely worth going. As 'boring' as it might sound we found it very interesting!

'Every morning you have two choices: continue to sleep with your dreams or wake up and chase them.' ☀️Sunday was for the last few months the only day I could potentially sleep in, but when possible I would always up a bit earlier to go for my Sunday adventure with the gang.Yesterday was no exception. It was actually quite a special trek. It was the last one of the season before I go home to Czech Republic for two whole months!This trek has been planned since the beginning of the year but something always got in the way. Sickness, lockdown, lack of time, no babysitter etc.But we finally made and it was one of the best treks to date. 💯And as you all know, a Sunday well spent brings a week of content so this will definitely be a very fruitful one. ☺️

Welcome to St. Paul's Catacombs.I've been years ago, but they have done some great work to it and the entrance exhibition is actually super cool. If you haven't been for a while it's time to revisit.We went two weeks ago, on Olly's last day of antibiotics, when he was suffering from tonsillitis. As after a week at home he was getting really bored, but at the same time we couldn't go to the beach as its advised not to go on the sun when you have antibiotics.That's why I've opted for St. Paul's Catacombs. Yes, you have to go from one catacomb to another, but we have spent a lot of times underground exploring this very mysterious place.We both really enjoyed it and will be back soon!
