I'm heading back for my 5th trip to Malta in just 3 weeks and I can't wait. It's such a great country. I love the people, the food, the architecture, absolutely everything. The churches are so beautiful they've brought tears to my eyes. I've made friends with the locals who are very loud, want to know everything about you, and love to have a chat. I get a 1-week bus pass for 21 euros and the buses are frequent and go everywhere you need to go. I stay in St Pauls Bay, this trip at the Mayflower Hotel. It's a quieter area of Malta, so you can head around and see all the sights amongst the hustle and bustle then head back to where things are quieter. I love the little casino in St Paul Bay for a bit of a gamble and cocktails in the evening. I love Bingo with all the Maltese nonnas. I love walking along the wide paths that hug the seaside. I love the Maltese balconies on the houses and all the saints by the front door of people's homes. As for the food, my favourite thing is beef olives. Gosh, I just can't wait.

Just visted Malta for 3 days, and for the most part I enjoyed it, but I really didn't like the bus which I got to Mdina, it was very busy like you said at 4:08 and slow, and the seats felt really uncomfortable. And yes, Valletta (and Malta too) to me seemed to have a lot of British influence. Will definitely go again!

Malta is not cheap, especially the places you want to visit as a tourist. The better restaurants cost the same as in any more visited capital in Western Europe.
