My New Life in Malta

I know I just had a hiatus from writing, but I will have to be absent for a few days again. M and I are taking advantage of Malta’s central location and hopping on the ferry to Sicily for a few days. In the old days, this used to take several hours, but now it takes only 90 minutes to travel from Malta to Pozzallo on the catamaran. I am very excited about this long-weekend getaway. I have a love affair with the Italian language that goes back many years, but in all of this time I was only able to make it to Italy once. Now that I live next door, I hope this is the first of many visits to come.

We plan to visit the towns of Ragusa and Taormina, and take an excursion to Mount Etna. Another stop here or there might happen, depending on the bus/train routes and schedules. A little adventure is about to start!

I will be back on Sunday night and will write about the trip. (Hmm, is that allowed, if the blog is supposed to be about life in Malta?)
