EIGHT30 - VISIT MALTA - MASAXLOKK - color door
YES, WEEKEND!

OH MY MALTA

It‘s a Friday afternoon, I‘m at home – reading newspapers, slowing down my pace and welcoming the weekend‘s ambiance.

Somewhere in the horoscope section, I see a ridiculous sentence that refers to my sign – ”An unplanned trip overseas awaits, paid by someone else – a business trip or someone asking you to accompany them“.

”Come on!“ I smile to myself, ”who believes this nonsense?!“

THE LOOK, YES, WEEKEND!

STATUES: QUEEN!

I flew to Eilat for vacation.

Why Eilat? Because I'm in love with that city. Honestly!

Beach, heat, duty free shopping and If you arrive before the start of the season, the desert city can offer quite the pampering holiday.
