Brian - For his calm measured responses & his music threads Disco - His own unique style. Makes me laugh Clive - For his wise words, his summing up of the mood every week, and for keeping this all going
The latest indie band from Ireland. From their new album Come & See. A little bit Fontines DC, a little bit Idles ... Catch them in a small venue while you can
As others have said, Valetta is stunning and Mdina and Gozo also great. We found the St Paul's Bay area and St Juliens a bit crowded, but should be ok this time of year. Two hidden gems...if you like classic cars there's a great museum in Bugibba and if you like reggae (proper reggae), there's a reggae bar on the very tip of St Paul's Bay at Qwara point. It's a bit hidden away, not very 'polished", but all the better for it
Don't know what your thing is but we really enjoyed
A cycle tour...it's really flat and you can choose Cold war/WW2 or a mixture of both as your theme. Best way to see the city and with a guide Eat in the Turkish kebab restaurants...Lots are just take aways with a few table and chairs or a full on restaurant...way better than the UK offering...some of the best meals I've ever had and not expensive The Stasi headquarters - perfectly original The Stasi prison - guided by the ex prisoners Classic Remise if you're into old cars ...in the old tram sheds......Got to be £250m of cars here, many being worked on. And best of all if you're into bikes is the East German Motorcycle Museum a stone's throw from Alexanderplatz...small but perfect. Can be done in an hour. Checkpoint Charlie is a tourist trap, but worth spending half an hour there
I wouldn't recommend the open bus tour. Rip off prices and very poor headsets. Also be careful of having a drink on the Ramblas....they have different price structures depending on where the table is. Book the Sagrada Familia in advance or you may not get it. Wonderful city but keep your wits about you.
I've done a several of the tour de France stages in the Pyrenees and the Vuelta de Espana bits in the Picos, and all the mountain bits of Andorra, but on a motorbike.
The speed these guys cycle at even in training has to be seen to be believed. I've been overtaken many a time, particularly on the downhill bits.
To put that much faith into such a small contact patch of grip is bonkers. They have balls of steel!
