Sunshine and sea views...no, not in Abu Dhabi!

Ok, so I've arrived in Malta . I have a forum to attend for work, beginning today. I got to the Island yesterday, and its such a beautiful place! It reminds me a lot of small towns in the South of France. Old, stone buildings and tree lined roads, a million miles away from my life in Abu Dhabi. I feel much closer to home here (not distance wise, cos I know that I AM closer), but reminds me of family holidays in Europe. Abu Dhabi is a great place to live and work, but has no history to speak of and I really miss that sense of seeing old and new, when all the buildings are less than 10 years old and all the roads are on a grid system and 3 lanes wide! So it's refreshing to be somewhere more familiar.
I'm going to have the chance to explore a little bit this evening after work, so that'll be really nice. I have a great room with a beautiful view. (I will be posting pictures this evening!).
The flight over was good, although I had to get up at 4am, and then didn't get to bed for around 22 hours after that! 3 hours time difference really makes a big change to my sleeping patterns! So had a room service dinner last night and fell asleep in front of the TV!! It's been a long time since I've done that!
The sun is shining though, its around 17 degrees and the air is clear, back in the UAE its getting really humid now, I'm dreading to think what the summer will be like!
It's good being here, with the internet access I have, it's going to be easier to keep in touch with everyone over the next few days.
Ok, back to the grindstone for me!
Keep your eyes open for the pics later!
