The Island of Malta with Derek & Netty


We had a fantastic holiday in beautiful Malta.  We arrived at our lovely hotel which was overlooking St George's bay.  The weather was glorious with bright blue skies on most days.  During our holiday we explored as much as we could, taking in the lovely sights of the marina at Portomaso.  We went to Spinola Bay and had a pleasant stroll in the sunshine.
 
We enjoyed a brilliant open top bus ride around the North side of the island and hopped off at Medina - a beautiful fortified city.  We looked at all of the stunning historical buildings.  On another day, we set off on the local bus to Sliema where we had a boat trip around the three harbours of Valletta - it was very relaxing as we sailed past lovely architecture and magnificent luxury yachts. 
 
We visited the wonderful Barrakka Gardens which is set high up with glorious views over the harbours.  We arrived just in time to watch the firing of the cannon!  We had another boat trip to Marsaxlokk where we bought a few items from the colourful market and ambled along the sea front with ice creams - heavenly!  Our outing to Naxxar was amazing - we went to the Palazzo Parisio and gardens.  Inside the palace it has been restored to it's former glory and was just beautiful. 
 
 
We enjoyed some delightful cuisine whilst away, making sure we tried lots of fresh fish which tasted incredible.  We also had a game of ten pin bowling in the afternoon of a not so sunny day!  A truly excellent holiday enjoyed by all!

Farm Experience & Zoo with Jamie, Lisa & Isobel

  Farm Experience & Zoo What  fabulous start to our holiday as we headed to Boydells Farm to meet some of their friendly animals. We got stuck in feeding and stroking the cute shetland pony before being able to help lead her into the paddock.   The sheep and goats were adorable and loved us making a fuss of them.   We were so lucky to be able to cuddle the newborn lambs who were so fluffy. It was an amazing experience to be able to feed them some milk from the bottle.  A super day was spent at Colchester Zoo which is home to 160 different species. On arrival we could hear the cheeky chimps making so much noise. It was so funny as they mimicked our actions making us laugh out loud!      We loved being able to feed the rainbow lorikeets and they didn't hesitate to land on us as they swooped down to eat their food. In the reptile enclosure we were able to hold a giant spiny stick insect ...

  Disneyland Paris  Our two-day visit to Disneyland Paris was packed with unforgettable moments from start to finish. As we entered the park, Mickey Mouse welcomed everyone from the balcony above, setting the scene for a truly magical trip. We secured front-row places for the colourful parade, where dazzling floats and favourite Disney characters brought the streets to life. Nigel was thrilled when Elsa spotted him and blew him a kiss, while first-time visitors Nigel and Ben were amazed by the whole experience.                                    We enjoyed a variety of attractions throughout the day, including meeting Goofy, sailing through the immersive world of Pirates of the Caribbean, and laughing our way through PhilharMagic.
