luck. Malta is full of garages that must employ some really good mechanics, as I have never seen so many Ford Cortinas, Escorts, Austin 1100's and Morris Minors outside of a vintage car rally. I was most disappointed not to spot a Ford Capri, but I bet there are more than a few loitering about the island somewhere. Driving is a bit of a free for all, with drivers frequently changing lanes for no reason whatsoever. A combination of Italian blood and twenty year old cars does not make for a nation of careful drivers.
The bus service around the island is second to none - buses are extremely cheap and plentiful. Virtually anywhere on the island can be reached by bus even if you have to travel via the rather enormous bus terminal in Valletta.

The sorrounding of Cortina, the Dolomits are all beatiful. For example Selva of Val Gardena is an extraordinary small village that lies where three streets cross themselves, and any street go up to a mountain Pass (The Sella, The Gardena ...
Cortina d?Ampezzo is called the jewel of the Dolomites. It deserves this for its unique and beautiful location, and..also, for the fact that many rich people go there and are not shy of displaying their jewels! A flat in Cortina sells for around the same price of an equivalent flat in Chelsea. A good place to stay is the Internationl Camping Olympia, otherwise, my suggestion would be to stay in some agritourist ppalce not far from Cortina. If you fancy visiting the town, you can come for a day trip by car, while if you want to go trekking in summer, you do not need to be based here. I only visited Cortina during winter once, but I was too young to remember. ...
