IanEvening all! Day 2 was great, tiring but great! Today, join me for breakfast and a tour around the mall, a huge supermarket and the streets of Melliena!
As usual, the day started with breakfast! We agreed to meet at 0830 for breakfast! I slept well last night, surprisingly! I usually struggle when I am somewhere new, so that’s good! Hopefully it will stay like that! Mum came up to my room and hung around for a bit before we met my friend for breakfast. We went down together, and boy, it was busy, but I guess that is to be expected!
Breakfast was served on level -1, yes, I know it’s weird saying that! They had a large selection of breakfast options, including their version of a full English, and it worked! You could have a full English, cereal, continental or just pasties; there was a huge selection of breakfast items for all tastes! Here is what I had this morning:
Once we all had enough, it was time to take a ride down to the shopping mall just on the outskirts of Malta’s capital, Valletta. The drive was awesome, with some great scenes along the way! My friend drove us, and it was about 25 minutes, give or take!
It was a fairly large mall, larger than I thought it was! It even had an M&S Food hall! We had a walk around the shops, bought some things and explored a little! We headed down to the water area, it was stunning!
The water was really blue and clear, which is rare in Essex, where I come from! After we had a look, it was time for lunch. We opted to have our own lunch, with Mum having a chicken wrap and my friend and I having a protein bowl! Ours was delicious! Here is how it looked:
After lunch, we finished up and headed to the supermarket for more supplies. This place was huge! They had everything we needed and more! We will definitely go back later this week to pick up things to take home!
Once we had finished our shopping spree, we headed back to the hotel and went gift shop shopping for everyone! They had some good gift shops, so my friend and my Mum got some gifts for family and friends. I saw some good gifts, so I will buy some for myself!
After we had done the gift shopping, it was time for dinner. This time, we decided to stop at Burger Ink, the burger place at the top near the hotel.
This place was awesome! We enjoyed the food, and the atmosphere was nice! Here is what we ate:
Yes, one of us did have fish and chips! Can you guess who? Anyway, the food was awesome and we all enjoyed it! After we had done that, we headed to the hotel and sat at the bar for a little bit. I had an awesome Pineapple tart, it was great!
And with that, the day was done! We had an awesome day today! Lots of steps and exploring, and some brilliant food! Tomorrow is my birthday! I have no idea what I am doing tomorrow as both my friend and Mum have kept it a secret! So who knows?! I will reveal all tomorrow once I know! See you tomorrow!
