I found this site through a Facebook group called Accessible Travel Group. People ask about accessible accommodation, how accessible a city is etc etc and the idea is that local people or people who have visited share their knowledge. This is from the site:
"The purpose of this group is to share practical advice and support with accessible travel and accessible travel ONLY. No rants either please! :-) Sorry to sound patronising, but I'm keen for this group to be full of great practical advice to help us all travel."

I found this blog through the site. Useful mainly to UK users. It's written by a couple who travel with a wheelchair and their experience of different towns and cities mainly across the UK. Lots of info about seaside and coastal places.

Haha Tetra - is my travel lust showing through a bit?

We are getting out more now and have a week at the seaside booked for September - we found a lovely house on a clifftop through this travel site. I am hoping that Peter will be persuaded to try something more adventurous soon. So meantime I am travelling vicariously and looking at travel blogs etc.

To all Inspire forum members
If any one of you wishes to Holiday in the Maltese islands, i am personally offering you personal info about accessibility around the islands and also accommodation. As this is a private offer i do not wish to go into prices, all i wish to do is give you the hotel or private home owner numbers and you can deal directly yourselves. As for places to visit and dine out you can PM for info and recommendation.

Regards
Delboy

Oh where shall i start.
Here are the most favourite traditional dishes

Fenkata. rabbit fried in local wine and garlic.
Stuffat tal Qarnita. Octopus stew
Bigilla. Crushed nuts in olive oil and vinegar.
We also love our sea food platters. tuna and swordfish, clams etc.
A very common dish for september is the lampuki. The blue dolphin fish served with green peppers and cappunata.

Then there is the usual pizzas, KFCs and mc donalds.

Seafood is always a favorite with me - the fresher the better! I love the sound of the Fenkata rabbit stew. It used to be a very common (and cheap) food back in the olden days when I was a youngster. Now it's not so popular which is a shame as it's totally delicious.
