Two men & the host.
Pre my trip to Malta 🇲🇹 as things go I was sorting through the limited search results for accomodation. Mister BnB was the weapon of choice for my search. I came across the one who drew me in. Luke was the name. There was an uncanny likeness of someone very close to me which I thought to be very comforting. There was mention of a sunny room with seperate bathroom, and the company of a fellow creative artist. This drew me in immediately. We connected online & he was very friendly with a sense of humour as well a keen ear & helpful nature. I was at ease & ready to meet my host. Upon arrival he was incredibly generous to assist setting me off onto my first venture. He was amazing. The first night in we hung out & lounged talking smoking, sharing thoughts. He told me of his family, he has a twin brother Matthew if my memory serves me. Who plays in a folk band & lives in Mullumbimby. Of all places. The one place my Mako moon once rose from. These subtle ties, these signs to light the way to these pure amazing experiences that just keep coming in. Second night in I decide to hit some of the more glamorous parts of the island. Predominantly Mdina, & Valetta. Unfortunately I didn't catch Mdina at night, though a complete gentleman by the name of Paul met me in The Fortress city at the arrival of nightfall. Once a stranger now a newfound friend. We talked over a beer in the fortress gardens. He showed me the island lights at night. Beautiful like an old time renaissance painting sprung to life as we walked the pavements of this old beautiful city. Like a true gentleman he had me home by midnight. Just after showing me one of the highest look out points on the island where you get a complete 360" view of the city scape, & at night it's a view not to be missed. It's called "top of the world " by the locals. Paul if you're out there reading this thank you for showing my your island home. I will never forget it. So my last final full day was packed with the Blue Grotto & the neighbouring ancient sacred sights Hagar Qim Temples & Mnajdra Temple. Such energy in old places like this. I was a little disheartened by the fact the sight was completely gated & covered in a huge tent. It somehow detracted the natural beauty of the site. Though this was one of the highlights of my trip. Recommended by Luke of course. For the night of my last full 24hrs i wanted to experience the vibrant colourful nightlight Malta had to offer. It was exactly that Kevin introduced me to. We bar hopped from one side of the island to another. St Julian's being the main bar & club hub set on a beautiful Bay Area. Kevin was originally from the UK he had landed in Malta approx 5years ago & had refused to leave. I can't blame him. Such a magical place. Kevin was also a man of good humour & a big friendly giant. We drank all night with much conversed & many laughs. Hahaha I can still see him guarding my bag in his over the top completely British humorous way as I had numerous bathroom visits. Kevin if by any chance you catch this. Thanks again. You're a true legend! So the men of Malta of whom I had the absolute pleasure of meeting. Call me crazy however I see you all as Saints in your own right. Saint Luke, Paul, & Kevin. Funnily enough after doing some research all three are legit Saint names. You were all majestic brilliant men in your own unique individual ways. Glad to have met you all & to remain in touch. Thank you all ever kindly & sincerely. Your brief guest. Qu. Peace.
