Sunseeker Complex in a quiet part of busy Bugibba, Malta


Sunseeker Complex – Bugibba

The Sunseeker complex is a mix of hotel accommodation and apartments for long-term stays, all self-catering. The apartments are fully equipped and furnished to a high standard, and a lot of guests are regulars staying long-term over the winter months.

We just stayed for 1 night this time, so in a twin room with tea/coffee making facilities and a fridge. Breakfast is €3 or €5 with help-yourself tea, toast, juice and cereals plus a large full breakfast – two eggs, two thick slices of bacon, two sausages and baked beans freshly cooked to order.

The heated indoor pool is small but very relaxing and the roof-top pool is bigger, so you can get into your swimming stride a bit better although it is cold. With a sauna and fully-equipped gym, it offers a lot of facilities for guests as well as launderette and mini-market so ideal for long-term stayers.




A one-bedroom 2-person apartment is only €175 a week if staying more than a month, so we are trying a two month stay February to April in 2018. It will be interesting to see how this works as we have never stayed long-term before. It is an ideal location in centre of Bugibba on St Paul’s Bay, but it is down a small cul-de-sac away from passing traffic and tourist-bar noise. It is a comprehensive holiday site, so it will be interesting to see how we get on. Looking forward to a bit of sunshine in the Spring!

January’s Monday Wine Tasting at the Harbourmaster, Aberaeron, Ceredigion This month’s wine tasting experience at the Harbourmaster in Aberaeron was as popular as ever, everyone eager to sample the selection of 6 wines with fascinating little canapes to accompany each one. This month, Paul and Andrew from CPA’s Wine took us on A Mediterranean Wine Cruise with a selection from Italy, France, Greece and Lebanon, all available to buy from them as individuals or as a business. We started with one of the most popular wines in UK at the moment, Prosecco . This award-winning 11.5% Dollci Colline from Veneto, Italy is not as acid as some, made up with minimum 85% Glera grape, a pale straw colour with constant tiny bubbles rising and a delicate scent – very easy drinking (though takes a few swigs after drinking a rich red wine earlier!) and good value at £8.70 a bottle. Another popular wine, Sauvignon Blanc from the Pays d’Oc region in France, the St Martin Reserve is similar to...

earlier blog: Zip World Velocity North Wales

Tuesday, 24 October 2017 Zip World Velocity at Penrhyn Quarry, Bethesda, North Wales – we finally did it! Was it exciting? Of course it was – it was exactly how you thought it would be, an exhilarating whizz down “the fastest zip line in the world” and at 1 mile long, the longest in Europe. You must book in advance and get there before your allotted time to sign in etc. We were a group of 6 – 4 “zippers”, 1 observer plus 1 who was just 2lb over the weight limit (remember this is with all your clothes and boots on) so couldn’t take part. We were kitted up in red boiler suit, hard hat, goggles and harness. . I expected the boiler suit to be padded, but it is thin nylon so you must wear warm gear underneath. The staff fit you into the harness to make sure everything is safe, then we walked up a bit of a slope to the little zipper, the first shorter zip wire across to the truck which takes you up the steep quarry to the BIG zip wire! Basical...

Part 4 of Reports on "Explore" trip Hyderabad to Goa, India

India - Tombs and Temples and wonderful sights to see Of course, what you really want to see on this tour of the real India is the tombs and temples, the splendour of the architecture and carvings celebrating kings and gods. And we certainly weren’t disappointed. You can see Golconda Fort from Hyderabad, so a tour is a must. It is an impressive structure, and I loved the notion of great wooden gates with huge rounded metal spikes at around 12-15 foot height “to repel elephants”. Oh yes, and the moat where crocodiles would repel foot soldiers – naturally. Nearby are the Qutb Shahi tombs, an excellent example of the basic structure of tombs and mausoleums and superb craftsmanship. Many of the mausoleums were built up to 100 years before the Taj Mahal. The Tombs of the Bahamani Kings were beautiful with exceptional carvings that tell a story of gods and the trials they endured – art lovers could spend days just studying the tombs in this region of India! Bidar Fort is a...
