The team set off on Saturday morning from Manchester and arrived in Malta in the afternoon. They had the chance to check in and unpack before dinner and an evening at the hotel.
The following morning after breakfast the group took their coach to The Sunday Market which takes place in Floriana. This market attracts both locals as well as tourists from all over Malta who come to experience this buzzing market. There is a range of items on sale from fruits, clothing and antique items.
On Monday the team travelled to the Mediterraneo Marine Park. As Malta’s only marine park, The ‘Mediterraneo’ is a leading island attraction with tourists and locals alike.
