Trip suggestions

[Colinjb]

I don't know if it's still the case, but last time I was there the roundabouts operated differently to how they do here.

 

Cars already on the roundabout had to give way to cars entering the roundabout. Is that still the case Colinjb?

 

The times i've had driving out there i've found it to be, erm, random at best. The Maltese seem to enter a roundabout more to force their way through rather then impose any right of way, to prevent crashes it seems to be a matter of 'if you hold the ground, then take it and get out of the way of others!'

 

With driving out there, just 'go with the flow,' obey the road signs but be aware that it is a fair bit more relaxed out there then here. At least they drive on the right side of the road though!

They done it up sometime in the last 10 years so, whilst it's lost a bit of it's "authentic filmset going into ruin" charm it's now much more of a polished tourist attraction.....

 

Which reminds me, I hosted an IT conference (ZZZzzzzz) in Malta a few years back and we held our gala evening at Popeye Village and the star attraction was the 'hamster lottery'.....large table, with live hamster and 21 numbered hamster houses....everyone buys a ticket with a hamster house number on it and the winner takes all if the hamster goes into the house with your number.

 

Hours of un-PC entertainment!
