After seemingly barely leaving the county we went nuts a booked a late week abroad... just an easy Med trip. However, it required planning closer to that of a Moon shot and ultimately we got very lucky with our dates and the Omicron variant.



Days 1 & 2 - London to Valletta Day 3 - Valletta Day 4 - Mdina
Day 5 - Blue Grotto & Marsaxlokk Day 6 - Hypogeum & Tarxien Temples Day 7 - Harbour & Valletta
Day 8 - Gozo Day 9 - to Home  



With a morning flight and not wanting to risk a fraught journey on the M25 on the day, we booked had into an airport hotel.
