Can we SURVIVE on €40 a day in Malta?! (Malta vlog 2022)

[@the_andrewgrech]

The entrance to Cittadella is actually free for everyone. The five euros is to gain access to the small museum of the Citadel. From the bastions of the city, you get great views of the whole island of Gozo, which is totally worth it. I'm from Malta myself, and it's great to see the perspectives of foreigners because we often take everything for granted here and complain about life. It truly is a beautiful country, and am proud to call it my homeland.

[@highlands2hammocks]

Aw wow I didn’t even realise that 😁 thanks! Yeah the view from the bottom was beautiful as well, we loved it!

[@drewwilson636]

Myself (Northern Irish) and my girlfriend (Colombian) are going to Malta for the first time in February and soooo looking forward to it, your video's are pitched perfectly to our level. Entertaining and informative, we love watching!

[@highlands2hammocks]

Aw so glad you are enjoying them 😁 thanks for the support! Enjoy your trip! You are going to love Malta ☺️ just be sure to pack warm clothes for February as it will be cold!

[@Dimbleby]

Glad you enjoyed our little island 🏝

[@highlands2hammocks]

We loved it 😁

[@sifromearth]

Great video. I am an English ex-pat that is fortunate to live on Gozo and love it when I see these type of videos. I pinch myself everyday as this island is one of the true jewels in the Mediterranean Sea. Glad you both enjoyed your visit and hope to watch much more content soon - take care 🙂

[@highlands2hammocks]

So glad you enjoyed it 😁 You are very fortunate to call such a beautiful place home. We love Malta!

[@Mel.H_]

Awesome vlog guys! Gemma I love your fashion style! Beautiful. Can't wait for next week😍

[@highlands2hammocks]

Aww thank you so much Mel 🥰😁

[@linseysutherland4935]

I’m Scottish and live in Glasgow but Malta and Gozo are 2 of my most favourite places! Have spent a few very happy holidays there and hope to return soon!

[@highlands2hammocks]

It’s so beautiful! Hope you get back soon 😁

[@rebeccazammitpace]

There's so many places you can go in Malta without having to spend a cent. You could visit the historic cities or check out some museums which are free of charge and Churches! There are hundreds of those to chose from all over Malta and Gozo. I hope you have/had an amazing time. Also, the area you called the Azure Window is actually called Dwejra! The natural window was just called the Azure Window (It-Tieqa tad-Dwejra in Maltese) I thought you might like to know. Dwejra actually means little house in Maltese.

[@highlands2hammocks]

Yeah it’s a beautiful place 😁

[@anniemac3075]

Hi Gemma and Campbell St PAuls Bay has certainly changed since the last time was there in the early 70's! I think you both caught up with the Gozo midges. Great video. Regards Crawford

[@000caro555]

Hey guys, the postie just dropped my beautiful book through my door today. Such good quality, I love it. Now to plan my dream trip up north. My auld hubby loved going to Lochinver and Achmelvich with his parents every summer in they’re wee caravan back in the early 1960’s. He will enjoy reading as much as I will. ❤

[@highlands2hammocks]

Aw hope you enjoy your trip 😁 so glad you enjoy the book!

[@anthonycardona64]

I'm so happy you visited my country, emigrated to Ireland 7 years ago, just felt a bit sad seeing what I had to leave behind. Thank you for sharing ❤

[@highlands2hammocks]

So glad that you enjoyed it 😁

[@Abeyptfc]

nice one guys, loving the videos. awra best troops!

[@highlands2hammocks]

Thanks Mark 😁

[@Stebs_Paintings]

Good job and yes its sad about the Azure window, I remember my first visit about 30 years ago and the tour guide taking us across it, I have just started an oil painting of it. Good video see you on the next one and man that scooter was a work of art.......

[@highlands2hammocks]

Yeah it’s crazy how it’s just disappeared completely! Such a beautiful place

[@ninjasli]

Best ice cream in Gozo is the "Champions" Ice cream truck, Its only open during summer and btw I suggest visiting "Ggantija temples" in Xaghra if you visit Gozo, one of the oldest buildings on earth!

[@ivandegiorgio8375]

The one in Xlendi (Gozo) beats that ice cream :) (speaking as a local)

[@highlands2hammocks]

Will need to go there next time then 😁

[@kathleenwragg8]

Loving the trip,

[@highlands2hammocks]

Glad you’re enjoying it! We had a great time 😄

[@dorismosley2107]

Looks incredible 👏👏👏👏

[@highlands2hammocks]

It was such a fun trip 😄

[@yaminthegrey]

Hari OM another fandabbydozy day out with you - Gozo looks like my kind of place to visit and am all for picnic anyway. I really liked your jazzy pants, Gemma!!! Great budgeting too. Oh for some warmth - after a warm spring March, April has decided to switch back to winter here by the Clyde! YAM xx

[@highlands2hammocks]

So glad you enjoyed it 😁 I know we were so spoiled in March and now it definitely feels back to winter 😂 ready for the sunshine to come back already!

[@jeckledc]

Veni car is 12 a day no deposit for a hyundai i10. Dont stay in Qawra, you can get same price in San Gwann which is a way better location. Morning coffee needs to be paired with a pasitizzi for 50c. Ramla is a nice beach on gozo

[@highlands2hammocks]

Great tips 😁 we will definitely keep them in mind for the next time! Thank you!

[@smalladventures9021]

I've never really thought about travelling to Malta/Gozo but it looks stunning. It's just started snowing again where I am so I wouldn't mind finding one of those pockets of heat for myself! 😂

[@highlands2hammocks]

It’s a really beautiful place 😁 we would recommend it! Haha I know we wouldn’t mind some warm weather again too 😂

[@MENSA.lady2]

Yes, But not easy. Malta is cheaper than living in the UK . Local transport is cheap and food costs are reasonable. A beer in the evening is less than the UK cost.

[@highlands2hammocks]

Exactly why we love it here 😁

[@n9ddy]

The sunrise at the beginning, the sunset at the end...all the feels, once again. Can I be your friends forever? Hmm, yeah I wouldn't wanna be the person to find their scooter @13:00 decorated like that lol. Eeek

[@highlands2hammocks]

So beautiful isn’t it ❤️ wouldn’t want to find my scooter like that either haha!

[@graememckay9972]

Dived in the blue hole under the azure window. All the litter used to get trapped so it made for a disgusting entry and exit point but was a really nice dive. Went on a day trip to the blue lagoon. All the tourists were there with there swimming stuff and picnics and then there was half a dozen fully kitted up and dieing in the heat divers. Boat got to the lagoon and everyone got off and went to the beach and we all fell in for a dive. Sandy bottom and max depth 8m meant It was a boring dive but we never told the day trippers that when we all boarded for home.

[@highlands2hammocks]

Sounds an incredible place to dive, minus the litter! We saw a few divers come and go this time round, would be interesting to see what it looks like now it has collapsed!

Great to see some tips, I am headed there very soon! I have to work with a lower budget than I had originally thought so will definitely need cheap eats.

[@highlands2hammocks]

Have an amazing time when you go 😁 definitely possibly to do it cheap 😁

[@sheilajoseph9953]

Beautiful vlog, ❤lucent scenery, I think its great having a budget for the day makes one look around more and be more open to try foods more locally which are often cheaper if its what locals eat. Enjoy your venture. ❤

[@highlands2hammocks]

Thanks Sheila 😁 yeah we enjoy doing it sometimes to see how we can spend it 😊 very true about eating where the locals do!

[@jamminjami103]

Once again...another Lovely Vlog! I look forward to Saturday's, just too see what beauty you will be showing the viewers! Be safe and see you next Saturday♥ Until then, I will keep rewatching previous vlogs :)

Not sure I would cope on that little food during the day!! 😲

[@highlands2hammocks]

Haha we were so busy we didn’t actually notice 😂 big pizza for dinner to top it off!

[@blanemcc]

I'm flying out to Malta on Thursday and we've mainly packed shorts and t-shirts with a couple of pair of jeans and a few jumpers - Met office and BBC show it warming up, but how is it over there actually?

[@lugrech]

Where are you coming from? It gets a bit chilly AT night, but you can manage with a t-shirt during the day

[@blanemcc]

@@lugrech We're coming from Falkirk, so usually anything above 14c is shorts and t-shirt weather. We were thinking of maybe stashing a jacket just in case

[@lugrech]

That should be enough. Though pack a long pants just in Case as it's only been a week since we got sunshine. We've had the coldest winters And 14deg might feel slightly colder since we have humid air

[@highlands2hammocks]

The main difference between Malta and Scotland was the wind for us. 15 degrees is really warm in Glasgow but if there is a breeze in Malta then it is freezing! Sorry for the late reply, hope you had a lovely trip 😊❤️

[@blanemcc]

@@highlands2hammocks yeah the wind was mad! The sun was still intense and at least we had 4-5 days where it died down and it was nice and warm 😁

[@ivandegiorgio8375]

Just fyi you could have just boarded from Malta to Gozo for free, as usually you pay only from Gozo to Malta. I hope you kept the ticket so you could use it after again. (and Bikes do not need to wait in traffic if there is a queue, but can just skip it) and... yes... never park under trees during sunsets hahaha :D Thanks for visiting my island (Gozo), hope you enjoyed it!

[@highlands2hammocks]

That is very interesting! I do remember them only checking in the way back to Malta 😊

[@susanashcroft2674]

Looks beautiful.

[@highlands2hammocks]

It’s a gorgeous island, we loved it!

[@adamw.3409]

40 euros is A LOT!! yesterday in Bugibba I spent 3 euros on breakfast in Italian bar (cappuccino and a big croissant) , then less then 2 euros on 3 hot pastizzi for lunch , in the evening I had a chinese takeaway for 6,50 , but the portion was so HUGE that I ate half of it and I will have the rest for today’s dinner.. you can easily do with 10 euros just eating street food, and much less than 10 when you buy stuff in the supermarket and cook by yourself..

[@highlands2hammocks]

The 40€ was also including our bike and accommodation so that stretched it a bit 😊

[@davidglassford2194]

Another lovely video guys. Enjoy the rest of your break 😎. Weathers been nice last few days at home (Paisley) but cold

[@highlands2hammocks]

Thanks David 😊 we’re actually in the north of Scotland now , we got back from Malta a couple of weeks ago! Weather has been brilliant in Scotland since we got back 😁

[@mannydcbianco]

Holy crap I can't believe how affordable the hotel is! €26 per night for the two of you? Wow. And it looked nice too, not dirty or shady-looking or anything. When my wife and I go road tripping here in the US we rarely find a room for less than $75 (about €70) a night, unless it's ridiculously dirty and shady or like a scummy motel where we absolutely would not be comfortable staying, let alone parking our car overnight and trusting it to not be broken into.

[@highlands2hammocks]

Yeah it was a great bargain 😁 because it’s the off-season, I can imagine it will be more expensive in the summer!

[@nicksavov9523]

I recently traveled to Malta and I would say that €40 for a day is more than enough. We found some street food for €1 for pastizzi.. two and you are full. We found pizza on slice for just €3 and one slice is enough to get full. We rented a car €20 for a day.. it was €5 per person for my group.. the fuel was also €5 per person.. so Malta could be very cheep as well as very expensive.

[@highlands2hammocks]

We found it tight including the accommodation but was plenty to have a good day out 😁

[@CampervanTravelsInDora]

The both of you are just great and your editing skills are excellent, although I do prefer the Vanlife stuff. How long is your next vid on the west coast NC500 going to last for ?

Riding any kind of bike in Malta is extremely risky!! Sooo many serious & fatal accidents on a regular basis...not a great idea!! I'm in the UK right now & am looking forward to getting back next month😎

[@highlands2hammocks]

We have a lot of experience in much more dangerous roads around Asia so Malta was a breeze for us 😊 hope you enjoy your trip!

[@godhams]

@@highlands2hammocks yet another accident involving a motor bike involving a guy from Belgium who's in a serious way...its like every other day it's insane.

[@ImTheDudeMan471]

Small van, 125 cc scooter, large messenger bag, make simple breakfast and coffee in van, bring along fruit and sandwiches, late lunch in sit down restaurant, purchase wine from store, more sandwiches for late dinner. That shoud get you under 40 EURO.
