What to do when your child farts at a stranger?...Malta day 4!

Today got off to a good start. I have booked a trip to Gozo tomorrow which is Malta's sister island. It does mean another trip on a ferry so I hope Scarlett is ok with that as when I booked it she said she didn't want to go on another boat. So we were waiting for our transport to pick us up from the hotel, Scarlett was running up and down a ramp, one of the workers from the hotel crept up behind her to make her jump but before he had a chance to do anything she did the loudest fart practically in his face! He bust out laughing and went running inside, I apologised profusely while Scarlett is rolled over in absolute fits of giggles. The guy went inside and I saw him talking to someone pointing at Scarlett and laughing, cue me with a tomato red face again. Thankfully our transport arrived shortly after, although 20 minutes late and grumpy I didn't care, I just wanted to be away from the hotel. Turned out the taxi man was more thank grumpy, he stopped at another hotel and had a go at someone on his mobile in the middle of the street. Another older gentleman got in the taxi mini bus and I felt thankful he was there. We got to Popeye Village and my eyes Popeyed out of my head, the location was absolutely breath-taking. I huge steep hill take you down to the village but I just stood transfixed by the turquoise sea, well for all of about a minute as Scarlett was off running down the hill. We were exploring all of the cute little wooden houses, quietly moseying along, then we went down to play crazy golf having the place practically to ourselves when.....dun dun dunnnnn a heard of chimpanzees came careering down the hill. AHHHH School children! I knew the place was too blissful and good to be true. No sooner had they arrived Olive Oil had kicked us off the mini golf so the kids could get on it. How rude! she is not my favourite cartoon character anymore, not that she was anyway, I don't even have one, but that's now the point. It wasn't all bad though, as it gave us a change to explore the silversmiths quaint shop and go to the Christmas wonderland when they had all vacated. I also got yet more free stuff! A free glass of wine, a free postcard, a balloon butterfly (Which popped and ended up looking rather rude!) and Father Christmas gave Scarlett a Doctors set. The magic show needs a bit of work, 3 tricks and a diabolical silence where the audience claps should have been (3 adults and 3 kids) 6 hours there was a bit too long, although I met Popeye (Who turned out to be from Birmingham!) I felt like time was standing still when we were in the indoor play area. I kept looking at my watch and it said half 3, I was like arrrrgghhh I want time to hurry up and the taxi to come so we can get back to the hotel. I looked at my watch again and realised the pin had come out, I rushed over to my phone and it was quarter to 4! I was sooo happy! I have realised why people have more than one child though, so they can keep each other entertained. I was absolutely exhausted running around an indoor play area, in tunnels, down slides, it was like a mini gym session! I found the man we had arrived with and had a nice chat with him while Scarlett followed his every move and chatted away with him. I have a picture of him randomly so he will forever be in my holiday photos, it's sad that I will never see him again as he was so sweet, but that's life. I got so distracted talking to an old man in the lift who said he had been staying at the hotel for a few weeks and was staying until February as it was cheaper than living in England (£17.00 per day all inclusive! I don't know if that's a good deal?) so I was like wow and got out of the lift and got to the door and was like erm this looks different.... turns out I had got off a floor too early! When I finally got back to my room something was different, the door wasn't locked properly, the balcony door was open and on the inside of the main door there was like a double bolt thing where the key went. There is clearly a sign on the door which states please lock your doors properly when you leave, you think the cleaners would abide! At least nothing was stolen. actually tell a lie my money was stolen...by Scarlett. She went into my purse took out all of the coins without me noticing and then said "Look at all my money!" Cheeky monkey! She is definitely getting special treatment here though. On of the waiters, who looks like a friendly Uncle Fester from The Adams Family gave Scarlett a cute Doggy keyring this morning and at dinner he got her chicken nuggets and chips cooked for her by the chefs which wasn't even on the menu. He also got her a special ice cream which was not available to guests. Lucky little girl, everyone is besotted with her. Why wouldn't they be? She is just like her mother! Ha Ha just kidding! Below...is that not the most beautiful setting for a park? Oh and the random nice man!
