The last day has arrived. One final breakfast at the hotel before packing my bags and checking out. My flight isn’t until 17:00, so there’s still some time left for a little adventure. Yesterday, I found out about Malta’s oldest geocache, placed in 2004—something no geocacher can ignore! And since everything on Malta is relatively…

Today is my last full day in Malta. Unfortunately, I have to head home tomorrow, but I plan to make the most of this final day. It’s driving time again. I hop into my car and head southeast toward Marsaxlokk. As with every drive in Malta, the distance from St. Paul’s Bay isn’t that far,…

Today is a more relaxed day. After waking up early—like every day—and having the same breakfast as always, I head down to the bus terminal. The plan is to be in Balzan by 13:30. But first, I have a mission: completing Malta’s Diamond status on Project-GC. That means finding a geocache in all five regions…

I messed up my alarm and woke up an hour too early, but the real alarm finally went off at 4:35. The smartest thing I did was preordering a Bolt. The driver arrived at 5:05 and took me straight to the ferry terminal—where there was absolutely no parking. Totally worth the 18 euros. Don’t believe…

Today, another tour. After breakfast, I make my way to my car and set off towards Mdina. My guided tour doesn’t start until 11:00, so I have time to find one or two geocaches. Google Maps has a funny way of choosing routes—it feels like I only get narrow shortcuts. Some caches are impossible to…

New day, new possibilities. I’m getting used to waking up at 6:30. Not ideal on vacation, but at least it gives me more time to explore. Plus, it gets dark around 18:30. Breakfast consists of toast with turkey ham and some cheddar cheese. Nothing adventurous, but enough to start the day. My car is still…

As always on holiday, the night ends early—6:50 AM feels way too soon. After some lazy moments in bed, I decide to make the most of the day. A quick shower, packing for the trip, and then down to breakfast. The options are quite limited, mostly English-style dishes, which aren’t really my thing. Still, I…

The hotel alarm didn’t go off, but luckily, my phone did. Not that I liked it, but it had to be. Feet on the ground, quick stop in the bathroom, and out of the room. Fast check-out, grabbing an apple on the way. The check-in kiosk didn’t like my data, so I had to do…

Today was a significant day—I left my job of 16 years for the last time. But before starting my new job in March, I unfortunately have to go on holiday. Due to accumulated overtime, a break was necessary. As mentioned before, Malta is the destination—but not just yet. Thanks to Molde’s less-than-ideal flight connections, I…

Only three weeks until my trip to Malta. Most organizing is done an I am very much looking forward to it. The first leg of the trip will be from MOL to OLS on Norwegian. Leaving at 19:10 I have to stay at the hotel over night. Since my flight leaves at 6 am, I…
