After two brave days for Little A, we had promised her that she had this fifth day in Malta to enjoy the many playgrounds around Marsaskala. Our focus was on the Sant’Antnin Family Park, right on the outskirts of the town. The park has multiple playgrounds and other activities. It […]
The first three times I visited Malta I stayed in or around the town of Sliema. It usually meant having a great view out over the capital Valletta and easy access to many restaurants and shopping. Our fourth day in Malta this year had started with a hike from Marsaskala […]
A year and a half ago, as the Covid-19 pandemic started its first blitz on Europe, Little A and I explored Malta on our own while Susann was supposed to go on a business trip to London. We had a great time, especially exploring the less crowded areas. One of […]
It is now about a year and a half since the pandemic really took off in Europe and countries such as Malta started to introduce the many restrictions that have been part of life since. Back then, in early March 2020, Little A and I were enjoying a father and […]
There has been a thought in my head since Little A and I visited Malta at the start of the pandemic in 2020. At that time, we took a hike from Marsaskala to Marsaxlokk and Birżebbuġa. The thought has been this: How far would I be able to go if […]

Staying in Marsaskala during our trip turned up to be great for exploring new parts of the island. During earlier visits, we had mostly seen the part west of Valletta. This time Little A and I could enjoy the eastern part of the island as well. Valletta is a must […]
After arriving in Malta, for a week’s vacation in early March, it was soon time to enjoy what the island had to offer. As I was traveling alone with our 3-year-old Little A, it turned out to be a trip where we explored both new places and new playgrounds. Luckily […]
