Made any travel mistakes lately?

I left a bit of sand in the footwell of a Hertz rental car and copped a $165 cleaning fee.

That certainly seems excessive to me.

I would be interested in your thoughts on the cost of living in Malta too if you can give any insight?

It's reasonable, considering it's an island. Not super cheap, but I didn't find it that expensive either. If you're not short term letting, then the increase in accommoation during summer doesn't matter so much either.

Cheers! Sounds reasonable then.

Supermarket prices are fairly similar across the board I found though, unless you're buying from a tiny little corner shop but then that's no different to the UK, Spain, Italy etc.

Bought a KLM business class ticket from CGK to KUL (to get the gin doll house of course) and did not realise that some business class airfares do not include lounge access. So going to be a long 3 hours waiting for the flight. At least the bottled water was only $1.20 post immigration.
