I have my best friend visiting for a week from next Wednesday; I'd like to give her a surprise party - apart from on the roof of the villa here in Gozo do you have any suggestions?

It's a shame she is flying back to the UK on the 5thy so will miss the CS 'do' on the 7th plus my village festa on the 8th!

You never know - she might even fall for one of the intrepid CS members!

Surprise party in Gozo would be fun, although it depends on what type of person she is. Ie. likes loud places with lots of people or smaller intimate gatherings.

In Gozo I've tended to stick to the more serene dwellings myself.

Rusty, whilst she's here, take here round both islands. Both of them have their unique characteristics.

Do you need any help with specific locations to visit? It seems that you've been living here for quite some time, thus I don't think that really need my help to point out various locations.

But if you need, I can give you some hints.

A week is way too short to go round Gozo let alone Malta, but I'd either take her over to Malta for a day or maybe she'd go on her own.

She visited last July and enjoyed going over to the Cornucopia for a swim and sunbathe while I looked after my parents back at the villa.

She's not a 'loud' person, but a good dancer and likes an enjoyable evening night out like most of us...... I am NOT trying to make Marti jealous - this is my best friend and you don't do naughty thingies to friends or they nolonger remain friends! crying

I'd hoped she might buy a place out here, but she decided to have a penthouse appartment built in Spain (almost finished) - oh well, somewhere else for me to visit I guess! grin

What I had in mind wasn't Paceville or Bugibba, far from it.

The following are some examples:

Ggantija
Dwejra
Cittadella
Hypogeum
Mdina
Dingli
The Three Cities
etc etc

Oh, and try to take her to a feast, especially on Saturday to see the fireworks.

I live right by Ggantija - in fact Ggantija was modelled on my mother's thighs!

Hypogeum would be interesting (not been there for at least three decades)......... and Mdina I think would be a must - I've never eaten there at night; I think that would be nice!

Dingli Cliffs - no way.......she might push me off! crying

Dwejra - didn't take her there last time; provided my parents are ok I'll take her round the island at least two days of the week and over to Malta for one day, but this wasn't my question - I'd like to throw a party for her to meet some younger people (she only met friends of my parents who were at least 60 years old...........she is middle-aged).

So - suggestions for a party please!

Naturally I hope some of you'd like to come along - that's why I'm not sure if I should make it Gozo or Malta as I know you Maltese people find it hard to travel such long distances without getting lost on the way! tongue

Will she be staying in Gozo? If yes, orgainse the party in Gozo, so that you'll spare her the trip back after the party. Personally, its the ferry that puts me off, not driving.

It would be a surprise for her - she hates the internet and thinks anybody who meets people via the internet is totally crazy........ although she was good friends with my ex wife who I met via the internet:

'Robert' she told me 'Don't think I'm going to put up any more women you meet via the internet when you fall out!'

if it's your best friend she has come to see you so the best option would be to do absolutely nothing, just chat, chat, chat and sip wine by the swimming pool if you've got one; if you don't have one, turn the hose on and let the water run on your feet it's soothing and relaxing.

if she wants something more active, then take the car and drive until she spots something interesting.

With such an elegant, sophisticated lady like you my budget would only be enough to treat you; I'd have to watch you eat while I sipped water and you guzzled champagne!

crying

My budget would be over LM5 and definitely under LM2,000 tongue

Thanks Nico,

Would you book a place like that for a mere best friend or only for a woman you lusted after?
