Valletta, Malta
Today's port and the last one of the trip was Valletta, Malta - a small 3 island nation south of Sicily. The weather is sunny and 18 C - perfect for exploring - as we had no tours booked other than a UNESCO World Heritage Site. We had read that the ...

Hagar Qim and Mnajdra
Today we went to Hagar Qim and Mnajdra temples. They date back between 3600 B.C. and 2500 B.C. I thought they were amazing. Just think of how huge the rocks are and how these people in that day and age without the kind of knowledge we have about ...
Comino and back to Gozo

Disney Mediterranean Cruise: Malta = Small
... nbsp; This is one of the stops that I think would have been much better if we had done a little homework before hand and just gone out in Valletta ourselves. That was pretty much the take away for most of the planned "family" ...
Malta
Arrived in Valleta just at dusk. Coming in by sea created such a dramatic approach. the old city walls are beautifully light and rise sheer out of the bay. truly a jaw dropping experience. Spent the evening with several wonderful ...
You get what you pay for
We moved from the Grand Harbour Hotel to the Grand Excelsior Hotel for the International Symposium on Fireworks . . . the difference was radical, but then so was the price. The Grand Excelsior had a view of the tourist town of Selima. The Grand Harbour ...
Magnificent Malta
2 months if enough at work for us so we decided to take 2 days off and make a long weekend of it to visit Malta. A 3 hour flight gets you to the small airport in Luqa on the equally small island and there you meet the friendliest people on earth! Everyone ...
Malta
... had half a bottle of wine at lunch. (I jumped at the alcohol, cos although chris kept getting offered beer everywhere we went, in Malta the women don't seem to drink, so i had been fairly dry this whole trip). We had dinner at another cousin's this ...
