Dingli Cliffs and Buskett.

Located to the east of the island Dingli Cliffs are very dramatic. We visited them on a cold day – or at least a cold day for Malta – and we were glad, like other people we saw, to admire the views from a nearby café. Yes - another photo opportunity missed.

Oranges trees in March in Buskett Gardens.

Buskett Gardens we did not find as exciting as we expected, although it is one of the few places on the island to have trees in any quantity. We walked through them - the gardens and the trees - at the end of a walk that took us by "Clapham Junction". "Clapham Junction" is the name given to an area nearby that is covered with prehistoric cart tracks. Or at least the gouges in the limestone rock are referred to as cart tracks. Like most people I have no idea what they really are or how they came in to being. If you do visit this area beware for, unless you are very lucky, you are likely to be accosted by a local who will bore you to tears with his theories. You may have to be rude to get rid of him, so be warned.

The peple of Malta are also football crazy and have a deep affection for most English teams, especially Manchester United! In most towns and villages you will find football pitches and clubs, many, like this one at Dingli with its own "Pub".
