Yesterday we took our chances on the local public transport, mad old buses which we have heard so much about. They do throw you about a bit but they do get you there. In this case, ‘there’ was Malta’s capital city, Valetta. On the one hand it was bustling and touristy, yet on the other it was populated with locals, many of whom seemed to be visiting from other parts of the island. We had a brief look around at some of the architecture, then ducked into a well covered open air cafe. I’ve become quite partial to the local soft drink, ‘Kinnie’, which, as a slightly rough round the edges welsh lady described it, is “a bit mad.”
A bit mad it is too, but very good, a kind of intense herbal kick coupled with a flavour which must be some sort of sun dried/caramelised orange affair.
I will certainly look it up on returning to London; no doubt there is a bar somewhere run by a crazy Maltese gent.
