There are no short cuts!

A few times now we thought that we were very smart and took the short cut home. We haven’t learned from our mistakes yet! Here in Malta the streets are so misleading that you end up at the opposite side of the island… Today for example we took the bus from Valetta to school. We were almost there, when the driver turned and took us along the scenic route through all the districts around our university… It was like a comedy, we were getting later and later for school with every turn the driver took.

We had a lovely morning though. We got up early enough to see the sunrise at the harbour, applied for our Maltese ID card to get reduced bus rates,  saw a little park way before all the tourists arrived, and even sat in a cafe. We were so ahead of ourselves this morning until the crazy streets os Malta slowed us down…

I read somewhere that there are no short cuts in life, only those that we imagine.
