Adventure with Avengers

While in Malta or may be even before reaching there, I'd had the thought that I would go watch the last Avengers movie - Endgame in Malta. So after the walking tour of Mdina and exploring a bit of Rbat, I decided to do that. I'd already checked the location of the cinemas where the...

Malta – Mdina

After having spent a good part of the morning in the Co-Cathedral and having a good lunch, I moved on towards my next destination - the old capital of Malta - Mdina. I reached earlier than the scheduled time, so just roamed around a bit but not too far. It was not full of tourists...

Malta – Day 3

The two previous days had gone very well. I was relaxed on the third day as I'd already made the longer journey on the previous day - the one to Gozo. I got up without any hurry, had some breakfast and then leisurely went to Valletta. The aim was to see the cathedral of the...

Gozo

Maltese Archipelago For the second day of being in Malta (country), I had planned to go to the island of Gozo. A colleague/friend of mine had told me that he found Gozo to be much more nicer than Malta (Malta is both the name of the country and the biggest island of the Maltese archipelago)....

The Doors of Mdina (Malta)

I cannot believe that I didn't post about Malta up until now. It's been almost four months since I was there, although it seems like such a distant memory. Ah, this illusory concept called Time! Nonetheless, what better way to start than to take you "through the doors"! So, before the Knights Hospitaller (Knights of...

Last night in Sofia

Unlike the accounts of all my other travels, I am writing this time first about what I am feeling on the last night (of the first trip) here in Sofia. It has been a lovely journey for the most part - primarily because of having met really nice and warm people. It felt like India...

Cologne in Pictures

I visited Cologne for the first time this year on Good Friday, after having heard about it since years! It was a lovely sunny day, the warmest Easter time I have seen in Germany in the few years I’ve been here. Here are a few pictures of the wonderful city to give you a glimpse...
