Part 3. We visit the Maltese "Clapham Junction", wait-out a mighty downpour and enjoy the nightlife of Paceville.
Part 2. After a disastrous start, we somehow reach Malta and set out on our custom tour of the island, avoiding a two-meter deep pothole along the way.
Part 1. Deterred neither by my lack of bike nor the online stories of cycling in Malta, we book our flights and plan a loop around the island.
