What cheeses me off

WCMO today. I have a day room in Valetta today between early dis-embarkation of my cruise ship and a flight out this evening. I was hoping for maybe a little bit of Kip to catch up on recent missing out.

Nup. Valetta is in the middle of its fireworks festival and although today is a rest day they practice and so there’s been numerous sessions of overhead firework exploding.

And now there is this next door to me - a wedding, with full ( large) band. Loud.

The band came down an adjoining street and turned into the crowd in front of the relevant house. Not surprisingly they made no headway and just had to play on where they were.

Addendum.

2 hours later the streets for about 4 blocks around (Valetta) were seething with people; Police blocking streets. Its Sunday so maybe a larger celebration.

My Bolt driver was cheesed off big time when he picked me up - had to try 3 ways before he got to me.

Now at the airport. Cheesed off again. I have a KM Malta award ticket, in business, but it doesn't have lounge access. That's stingy!

Just looked at some trip reports for KM Malta… looks like a real treat food wise is in store! Enjoy!
I’ve travelled with them quite a bit ( hence the award ticket 😊) and they are quite good for a small airline. Tucker good, wines not so good and service is the type that hides behind the curtain.
 
Cool. Flying with them in June from Paris to Malta. Business. Fuel willing.
So am I on 15 June. Do you have a sense of how early you will arrive at CDG given all the EES issues? I am trying to positive about the trip going ahead so starting the micro planning now.

I think it’s the arriving rather than departing bit? We did two or three euro arrivals and departures in Feb… it was always the coming in that had delays. Going out was just regular.
