IanHi all! So today was my birthday! I had an awesome day and enjoyed every minute. I had a surprise day, so I didn’t even know what I was getting into! But it was great, follow me for my birthday edition.
As usual, we started with breakfast! They had a few different things today, which was good to see! We had breakfast, my friend gave me an awesome birthday present, and told me what the plan for the day was, and I loved it! We first headed to Malta Aquarium.
Although it was rather smaller than I thought it would be, it was pretty great! Not as good a Portugal’s aquarium, but still good! Here are a few pictures from my walk around the Aquarimum!
It was great to have a wander around, although it was quite busy! Next, we walked down to the town centre from the aquarium, and we had a look at the gift shops! It even had a Wagamama’s, which was weird to see! The water was also very blue and looked awesome! We had a quick coffee stop plus a croissant halfway down.
By this time, my feet were starting to ache! I am not used to this much walking! Here are a few pictures from our walk
It was time for us to head back and stop at the supermarket, as we needed a few items for tonight! I forgot how big this supermarket was! Once we got back to the hotel, we had a bit of a chill in our rooms before the main event: a massage! I have NEVER had a massage before. My friend bought me a session to see what it was like, and it was awesome! I have felt so relaxed and loose, which is great! I will definitely have one again —although I was a bit hesitant in the first place. Well worth it! I also got a glass of Prosecco as a birthday treat!
Unfortunately, there was a slight issue with the booking, which meant my friend had to wait until later to have hers. This also slightly messed up dinner plans, but we adapted. All the restaurants in the hotel were busy, so we had to explore outside. We couldn’t wait too long, as my friend had a Teams meeting in the evening, so we ended up choosing Broasters. Here is what I had:
It was awesome! I had my reservations about the place, but it was unfounded; we had an awesome dinner! With that done, my friend had to go, wished me a happy birthday and went. It was a great day! Mum and I headed back to the hotel for a coffee and cake to finish the day:
And that was it! My birthday abroad was done! This is the second time I have been away for my birthday, and I will continue this on as I love being away on my birthday! Thanks to my parents, my friends and family who made today special! I enter the last year of my 30s… scary!
Tomorrow, we are going to a church in the morning, then to the cathedral and a garden walk in the afternoon. So follow me tomorrow to see what I get up to!
