We were amazed that we arrived at our hotel with everything intact except our nerves.
What a crazy taxi ride that was, a journey that should have taken forty minutes actually took twenty. Forget the ‘Big Dipper’ or any other scary fair rides, if you want your heart to be pumping at dangerous levels come to Malta at night and get a Malta taxi from the airport.
We were in two dilemmas, the first to keep our eyes shut as opening them does nothing for the old ticker, but we were also trying to keep an eye on our luggage. As you can appreciate moving to another country you have a few more items than the normal holiday luggage and therefore the taxi driver could not shut the boot so with every swerve around those hairpin bends we were sure we were going to lose something.
Amazingly we did make it to our hotel in one piece with all our luggage-an exciting start to our new life in Malta!
