Social Friends had a fabulous holiday in Malta last week. The group consisted of nine ladies and one lucky chap (or maybe 'not so lucky' depending which way you look at it!). We stayed at the lovely Seashells Resort in Qawra.
Some members went on a full day trip to visit Malta's sister Island of Gozo. They left the hotel at 8am to catch a ferry to the island and visited the beautiful Cathedral and also managed to fit in a boat trip to the Blue Lagoon on another neighbouring island of Comino where they had lunch on the beach.

The rest of the group spent the morning lazing by the pool before going out to discover the local area, this included a stop at a cafe in the next resort of Bugibba.
A shortcut across the peninsula back to the hotel seemed like a good idea at the time as we were all hot and tiring but after a long trek around the residential areas we ended up back at the start. The local bus came in handy only to find we were literally 10 minutes walk from our hotel!

Another trip out took us into the capital Valletta. Our tour guide took us through the main street pointing out the new Parliament building that some locals have likened to a cheese grater. We then visited the wonderful St John's Co-cathedral where all the inside is decorated with 24 carat gold.
We were also taken to the Upper Barrakka Gardens to see the daily 4pm canon firing which was amazing.

The group also had some super evenings at the hotel with a 17 year old Elvis impersonator entertaining us. We managed to devour a very large amount of cocktails during the week whilst also being entertained by the hotel animation team that included dancing and quizzes.
