'il-Pjazza'


'Il-Pjazza' meaning the square or for us Maltese usually the church square. This 'Pjazza is where the previous two photos have been taken from. It is found in the fisherman's village of Marsaxlokk. You can see the red telephone box and also if you enlarge it you will be able to see some of the fisherman's boats.

Hi!
I found your blog while googling about accomodation for our trip to Malta in april. We are bringing our son who will be 8 months then. Since you're a mother I thought I could ask you whether to bring food and diapers for him or if we can buy this in for example Birzebbuga or Marsaxlokk? I guess that all the big lables such as Pampers and Nestle are sold all over europe? Thanks!

Vickan,

I am glad you will be visiting our Island in April. That is one of the best months to come. Small corner stores in all the villages might be a little restricted but rest assured you will find pampers and nestle products in the pharmacies and also maybe in the larger mini markets. Like Lasco in Zejtun which is close to Birzebbuga and MArasaxlokk. We pretty much have everything in the larger stores. So you should not have any problems. I hope you will enjoy your stay.

Hello Dina: We were in Malta and the market in Marsaxlokk in August of 2008. At that time I bought 2 little girls umbrellas made of Maltese lace. I would like to purchase another one but can't seem to find any shops online. Could you please let me know if there are any shops that do online purchasing and who they are? My father was born in Malta and we loved our vacation. We definately will be back! Regards Carmen

Hello Carmen, glad to hear you enjoyed your stay on our island. I do not think there are any shops that will sell souveniers online, what I can offer is that you give me your address and I will buy and mail you one.

Dina: If you could purchase the umbrella and send it that would be great! Let me know the easiest way for me to send you payment. This is for a wedding in August so we don't have much time. I sure would appreciate it if you could do this for me. My address is Carmen Waygood, 4505-57 ave. Stony Plain, Alberta, Canada, T7Z 1C7 and again thank you so much! Cheers Carmen
