My time in Malta now is coming to an end, with only 2 days left it is starting to feel real now. I still haven't packed my bags though, will probably be a last minute thing.

However, I wanted to show you one of my favourite spots in Malta, that I only found last weekend.

This is the Chinese garden of serenity. Its was the most peaceful place in Malta I have ever visited I think. The sun was out, there were no people, you could just hear the leaves rustling on the trees and the birds singing. It was something you dont hear everyday in Malta with all the traffic around. If you go on a nice day, its a really nice picnic place!

Mount Etna, the most active vulcano in the world, and we hiked on in. Thinking about it was a bit scary, but as we had a really good guide you felt really safe when he was explaining that there would be no outburst and that you cannot die from the lava. Well if you are stupid it can put you on fire, but the lava is so slow that you have a lot of time to move away from it. Even move your whole house if you want.

We were hiking for around 5 hours in total and went as high as around 2400 meter above the sea.

It was really an amazing experience to hile there above the clouds and inside the clouds. We saw a lot of crates, no wonder as it has about 300 of them. The black sand from the fallout of eruptions was pretty cool as well, and was a nice contrast to the whote snow. But you didnt want it in your shoes, because it felt almost like glas rubbing against you feet. This is really something I would recommend to anyone going to Sicily or whereever there is a vulcano to hike. But be safe and use a guide that knows his stuff!

We took one day to go to the city further south in Siciliy, Siracusa, or better known as Syracuse the city from which Archimedes was born . We decided to go even though it was raining the whole day. It was a really good choice as it was even better than Catania. The old town on the island Ortygia in Syracuse was so nice. There were small streets, big squares and beautiful buildings. We even went to a museum showing Archimedes and Da Vincis inventions.
