Brother

Two weeks ago my brother arrived here in Malta. Two months ago it felt so long until his arrival. Two months flew by and he showed up. Eric found his love for diving I think down at Koh Lanta. Now he came to Malta to have some good dives. The pressure was on me of course, I had been telling him that he needs to come down and dive some wrecks and explore the underwater world of the Mediterranean. But I also know how hard he is to satisfy. He is always happy to go diving but to make him very happy, it needs to be something exceptional.

Well, we started with a gentle dive and continued with some cool cave dives. After that I was allowed to take him to more darker and deeper dives. We went down to one of my favorite wreck here, P29. The 52m long military boat still with the gun in front. That dive was amazing, it was full with Amber jacks hunting around and the visibility was super.

Among these dives Eric also joined a trip to Comino for more wrecks and caves but also we went to Gozo together. I had never been on Gozo before, so for me it was also a new dive site. The inland sea and the Blue hole are two amazing dives!!

I know one more thing about Eric.. he loves food!! Luckily we have these small food kiosks everywhere in Malta called Pastizerrias. But also around Erics block we have the gelateria who makes the best ice cream in Malta, it's called Sotto Zero.  I think Eric spent at least one hour there everyday.

If those awesome food places were not enough, we went also for a food festival in the beautiful citadel of Mdina (as known as The Silent city). We ate good food and had a lovely day out!

The last day Eric was here we went for food and relaxing in world class. We went to the 5-star resort called Radisson Blu in Golden bay for a nice breakfast buffé, and yes, there was prosecco for breakfast. Followed by some hours spent on sun warm cliffs. The last dinner in Bugibba was amazing and Eric paid it all. He is a good brother, hopefully he will come and visit again in Koh Lanta.
