Day Six – Departed Munich for Malta

1 Sep 2018

We left a wet Munich for Malta today. Our flight was at 2:30 pm. We left for the airport early. Flight was slightly delayed. We got to Malta around 5 pm.

We hired a car at the airport. There are many horror stories of car hires in Malta. So I pre-booked a car through Avis. Driving here is a challenge too. Road rules are very loosely observed. We saw this first hand in the airport carpark itself. We saw cars driven against traffic flow.

It is warm in Malta. Our drive from the airport to our hotel was stressful and harrowing. Hopefully this will improve over time. The roads are rather confusing and this is while equipped with a GPS.

Our rooms at the Westin Dragonara is very comfortable. I booked a room with a king sized bed but got one with two queens. We are not complaining. We both have our things spread on our own beds.

We met up with our friends later. They are in an apartment close-by. We went out for a relaxing dinner.
