Clive was prompt. He related to all four of us (Americans) showed us what we wanted to see and ad hoc as instructed. We could not have asked for a better and more responsive person. Although we were difficult he kept us on time and made Malta a distination that we would all visit again. […]

Jazz und viel Geschichte | 21. Malta Jazz Festival

Valletta, 20.7.2011 | Die gelben Oldtimer-Busse fahren nicht mehr. Seit Anfang Juli sind die noch aus der britischen Kolonialzeitzeit stammenden Busse, die seit den 1950er Jahren auf ganz Malta herumfuhren und vor allem am Busbahnhof am Eingang Vallettas das Stadtbild sehr prägten, abgelöst worden von modernen, klimatisierten, grünen Bussen aus China. Nicht die einzige Veränderung […]

Stilte op bekoorlijk Gozo

Als we door Gozo rijden, vallen gelijk de rustige en lege straten op. Behalve dat er nauwelijks verkeer is, is er ook geen mens te zien. Onze gids Clive Cortis vertelt dat het leven zich hier vooral in de vroege ochtend en in de late middag afspeelt. „De zomers zijn hier zo heet dat de […]

 

Actuamedica

De brede straten binnen de omwalling komen uit die latere periode, de steegjes zijn van de vroegere oorsprong. In Mdina vinden we ook één van de 15 ruïnes van Romeinse villa’s (Domus Romana) die Malta telt terug De steden vloeien in Malta als het ware in elkaar over, want voor we het beseffen bevinden we […]

De Standaard

Stiekem droom ik er nog altijd van terug te kunnen gaan in die tijd. Hoe onverschrokken zou […]
