I got back from the Games of the Small States of Europe in Cyprus a few days ago. It was an exhausting week, but well worth it. The overall performance of the Maltese team may have been disappointing, but I'm pretty happy with the photos. I wouldn't have minded having more time shooting athletics and swimming, and I missed the gymnastics events completely, but that's what happens when you have several events to cover which are huge distances apart. Don't know if I've ever worked so hard all my life actually - never managed more than 3 or 4 hours sleep a night for the whole week. We'd meet for breakfast at 7 or 7.30 in the morning, travel from Larnaca to Nicosia or Limassol, and not be back at the hotel before half midnight, and only then start thinking about dinner (or maybe I could say a very late lunch?).
But on the whole, in retrospect, no complaints (apart from the lousy organisation and wifi that wasn't working half the time at the venues) - only thing still irking me is that my two favourite pictures from the games don't show Maltese athletes, hence rendering them somewhat useless for the paper.
