Malta – Part 2

A bus to the market? Sounds normal… not in Malta, it should be described as ‘Death Ride to the Market’. Bloody looney bus drivers think they own the road and dont worry about the consequences of proving it. I have never been in a bus sliding around a corner before… dont get me wrong, it was fun to look back on, but bugger me what a fright, personally I would rather sit on the bonnet of Dave’s car through the lanes just after I get out of a vat of oil!!
Buses are indeed famous here, I nearly bought a T-shirt that said Malta Bus on it and a cartoon picture of a bus with a smile… the potential to create my own ‘Death Ride to the Market’ brand was tempting! After the market we found a Mc Donalds so I felt safe in there and enjoyed the chicken burger! Did nothing else today except listen to a god aweful live band in the bar. This experience was probably worse than the buses!!!

The most shocking thing about Malta is the total lack of colour… almost all brown. I am told it is very colourful under the water and I will be having a look at that while here.
