So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Top 5 Reasons For Hiring a Car in Malta

By Edward Johnson

Car hire is a popular option that many people take on their holiday in Malta, which is a small island nation in the center of the Mediterranean in Europe. With hundreds of thousands of tourists flocking to Malta ever year, the amount of car hire agencies in Malta is growing and competition is increasing. For the consumer that means that car hire in Malta is available at very reasonable rates and there are other strong reasons to go for car hire on your Malta holidays.

Reason 1: Avoid public transport by hiring a car. The only form of public transport in Malta is route buses, which have been up for replacement by new vehicles for decades. If you hire a car on your Malta holiday you can steer clear of these old, noisy and uncomfortable buses which only get appreciation from classic car collectors but none from the rest of us. Although public transport is dirt cheap (when compared to car hire in Malta), you get what you pay for: Pay peanuts, get monkeys!

Reason 2: Car hire allows you to do more with your Malta holiday. There is a lot to discover in Malta, in fact the islands are well known for their high concentration of places of interest. Using public transport to get around visiting these places means you'll waste a lot of time on bus routes which have been designed for the Maltese and not for tourists. If you hire a car in Malta you can also avoid bus tours, which are not very flexible, not very private and pretty expensive too.

Reason 3: Car hire in Malta doesn't have to break the bank. With competition between car hire agencies increasing, tourists hiring a car get a better deal through more modern vehicles which can be hired at lower rates when compared to other European holiday destinations. On top of that, Malta has some of the lowest fuel rates of all countries in Europe, with both diesel and petrol costing only around 1 euro per liter. Don't forget that taking one or two tours is cheaper but if you really want to explore Malta then even tours will cost you quite a lot when compared to car hire.

Reason 4: Driving a hired car around Malta gives you freedom. Freedom to explore every nook and cranny of the islands and finding places that only the locals know about, such as beautiful secluded beaches and small villages that show you the rural life that few visitors get to see. Maltese buses stick to their regular routes and guided tours have their own schedule and routes as well, so unless you hire a car in Malta you won't get to see the real Malta - and you will miss out!

Reason 5: Malta holidays aren't much fun if you're sweaty behind the steering wheel! You could choose not to hire a car in Malta, and instead use public transport or tour buses, but you'll regret that choice for one very important reason. Summers in Malta are hot and humid and you should definitely hire a car with air conditioning. You'll spend a bit more than you'd like to, but trust me the extra cost is well worth it!
