    • Be very careful before you cross the road as we drive on the LEFT side of the road not like most of the other countries.

    Warnings Or Dangers: Caution while Swimming !

    • The sea may look tempting to swim in but sometimes it can be dangerous. Always swim where other people are swimming and NEVER swim in a beach by yourself. For several reasons, be accompanied by a friend/partner. If you're on your own, your personal items could be stolen, or even worse you might need help and no one will know. Unfortunately we have casualties every year most often by naive tourists. In winter the temperature may be warm, but the sea will still be very cold. This will result in Hypothermia or a heart attack. Unseen underwater currents, or strong waves may put you in jeopardy if you're not a very good swimmer.

    Warnings Or Dangers: R.T.O. Signs common in Countryside walks

    • Malta - R.T.O. Sign

    • If you're walking anywhere in the countryside, you'll definately encounter this sign - R.T.O. It's not a public sign, and most often it's either painted on walls, or on a rusty piece of metal. This stands for RESTRICTED TO OUTSIDERS. Unfortunately these are placed there illegaly by hunters or bird trappers so no one would interrupt their hobby. Sadly no authorities have the balls to stop this illegal nonsense.
    My word is, if possible stay out of the RTO areas, and if you're adventurous enough to play dumb, excuse yourself if confronted by a hunter. He won't shoot you if you say you didn't know. :)
