Malta is only quite small, in fact it is the tenth smallest country in the World, the fifth smallest in Europe and the tiniest in the European Union but it also happens to have the eighth highest population density in the World (in Europe only the Vatican City and Gibraltar are more crowded) so this is not a get away from it all sort of place at all.
Being both small and crowded getting around was quite straight forward because up until 2011 Malta had a wonderful bus service with a fleet of vehicles mostly imported from the UK, privately owned, lovingly maintained and customized and painted in a distinctive yellow livery.

Would have loved to have seen the original buses each decorated uniquely.

They were fabulous Sue. I intend to go back to Malta but I am going to miss those buses!

On another note Andrew I am planning to do a post on my top commenters of 2014 during the holidays. Is it all right if I include you with a link to your blog?

That tiny place is crammed with history, it seems. Why was it such a heavily bombed place in the war, do you know?

It was an important naval base for the Mediterranean fleet so the Germans bombed it! Unlucky Malta.
