Raising Tiny Nomad: Inspiring a Love for Travel and Culture

In the case of previous trips, I have never encountered such a polarized issue. On one hand, both Malta and Gozo have a well-developed network of bus connections, but on the other hand, traveling with a toddler by public transportation can be quite an adventurous undertaking. Among the undeniable advantages of traveling by bus is the price. An adult pays 1.5 Euro for a day pass, while children under 3 or 4 travel for free. The buses are modern, well-equipped, and perfectly maintained. Tickets can be purchased directly from the driver. Another advantage of this mode of transportation is its coverage. By bus, we can reach virtually any place in Malta (and Gozo) 24 hours a day. Each driver speaks excellent British English and generally exhibits a high level of personal courtesy. After these considerations, it may seem that everything speaks in favor of using the bus. However, there are serious drawbacks. The first and most significant issue is safety. Only one stroller can be accommodated...

Przed wyjazdem, jak i na miejscu przeglądałam informacje na temat atrakcji dla dzieci. Cóż gdybyśmy mieli na nich bazować to chyba wychodzenie z Pią poza hotel pozbawione byłoby większego sensu. Jednak rzeczywistość jest zdecydowanie bardziej pozytywna niż wizerunek wyspy wykreowany w Sieci. Podczas naszego pobytu nie zdążyliśmy wybrać się do Playmobile Park czy też wioski Papaja (najbardziej polecane w mediach społecznościowych) ponieważ nasze Maleństwo cudownie bawiło się na licznych, doskonale wyposażonych placach zabaw.  Co ciekawe w zdecydowanej większości tego typu miejsc dostępne są darmowe, publiczne toalety oraz WiFi, co było wielką zaletą w trakcie przebywania na placu zabaw mojego Kochanego MĘŻA. Place są ogrodzone i wyłożone bezpiecznymi, amortyzującymi ewentualne upadki płytami. Sporo miejsc jest zacienionych, liczne ławeczki dają możliwość złapania oddechu w pozycji siedzącej. Naszemu Łobuziakowi najbardziej przypadł do gustu plac zabaw zlokalizowany w Sliema...

Traditionally, everything started very innocently. Robert avidly follows the "super deals" of the travel market, so when I noticed a promotion by Wizz Air for flights from Gdańsk to Malta, I simply asked if he had seen the current offers from this carrier as well. I received a curt "no" as a response, but a few hours later, my Wonderful Husband returned to the conversation, informing me that indeed the offer was interesting, which is why he had bought us tickets at an incredibly low price. Robert studied in Malta a long, long time ago and often mentioned that it is an extraordinary, magical place that has been a crossroads of many cultures for centuries. Well, for me, the most important thing was that we would be able to bask in the rays of the Mediterranean sun with Pia. After painstakingly researching hotel offers, we managed to find a good promotion at the Westin Dragonara Resort. A few days later, I quickly packed my suitcase, Robert returned at 12:30 from his c...
