What is it with Malta and Noise? We are having a moan today as the noise is driving us crazy!
First of all the apartment block we live in is relatively new and the ground floor is for commercial space. Well someone has brought one of the units and they have jack hammers and goodness knows what else going from early in the morning to very late at night, everyday even Sunday! Even though we are on the third floor it feels and sounds like they are in the same room with us. Okay this is understandable and the building work won’t last for ever, we hope!
We therefore decided to try to escape today and find a nice quiet sanctuary somewhere, no such luck. Whenever we thought we had found somewhere we would hear either building work or cars. Now this may not be too surprising as everywhere you look in Malta there is building work. Malta does also have the most vehicles per person in the world, yet it is such a small island. We therefore guess noise is going to be part of or lives for now, we will just have to dream of (when we can sleep) a nice oasis of a quiet park.
