MALTA -2016
At the start of April we were on the first RyanAir flight of the year to Malta, staying overnight at Mas Duc again. We had major problems with the water in the flat there, and I had a fall to remember! walking back from Bridge one day. Hazel and Ed joined us there for the last five days.

had a few siestas, went swimming daily at the Hilton, went for walks and had Christmas Eve Supper at Truffle & Truffle - a disappointment |

Well before Christmas Day it was bright and sunny. On the 27th |

we had a lovely walk to, then lunch at, Palacio Paraiso, then walked back. |

But alas, I tripped and fell, breaking my right kneecap and my right wrist. A charming Maltese gentleman, Mark, came to my rescue: after cleaning me up he drove us to a chemists with a doctor. Then to St James' Hospital where Xrays revealed the damage. I was operated on the next day for 2-3 houra by Branco Magazinovic. I stayed in hospital for 3 more days, going back to the flat on New Years Eve
