It was probably the cheapest trip in the world. You may find that a visit to Malta, taking into account the classic middle-class expenses in Warsaw, is cheaper than not visiting Malta. Especially when you use a lot of electricity and water. Because: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flights to Malta in December cost less than Uber from Prague to the center. In fact, a return flight is even cheaper than taking a taxi from Prague to Ok\u0119cie. It is possible to get a connection for PLN 44 in both directions with Wizz. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For 3 days in Porto Azzurro Aparthotel<\/a> I paid less than PLN 200. It was not a great luxury, but a 24-hour reception, 2 rooms, fully equipped, private kitchen, large terrace overlooking the sea (a bit obscured, but for the stubborn instagram photo with two sausages in the foreground will work out) is more than enough. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are going alone, you can skip such trivial activities as eating and focus on cycling. Why I spent 3 days on microwave sausages and Chinese soups - I do not know. Besides, there is Lidl, and the prices are a bit higher than ours, so you will survive. Nothing warms your heart more than when you hear from strangers at the airport: "what, first to Lidl?".

Is it worth reading a text about Malta from a guest who has never visited a restaurant, has not been to any public place in the style of a museum, and has not even entered the very center of the capital? I don't know that either, but I can guess ...<\/strong>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 3 days I traveled down a lot of roads. It means numerically little, but quite a lot as a percentage. Normally I would say my legs hate me after I leave, but I've noticed that since I'm out of shape, I can't get tired as much as I used to. Profit! I do not recommend half of these roads, the rest of the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I'm going experimentally packed. I put the bike into the bag, which is already legendary in the Brompton world DIMPA from IKEA<\/a>. It turns out to be the perfect size. At the airport, such luggage causes some anxiety, but mainly because the service does not know how to check it in. The brazen lie that I fly so regularly and that I always put such luggage normally on the conveyor belt works perfectly. The bike leaves with the suitcases. There were no losses, but I have the impression that the net will be enough for a maximum of several flights if I do not start wrapping the bike in rags. Brompton is made in such a way that the luggage compartment will collapse sooner than he will be hurt. So I recommend that you take out insurance to repair holes in the plane if you want to drive it like I do. From the moment of picking up the bike from the belt, to the moment when I am riding with all my belongings, a few minutes pass - including the pee. And I admit honestly, peeing after arriving was the logistically most difficult moment of the whole trip. However, 11 years of experience in IT helped me find a solution in the form of: exit the airport and enter it again. Everything else in Malta is easy because the people are very nice and speak English. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
