Exploring Malta today right across from Libya
... to Christianity. Stroll Mdina’s narrow streets to visit St Paul’s Cathedral, built, according to tradition, on the site where Publius once lived. Then stop for a panoramic overview from the ramparts and take in the strategic position of this island coveted by both Rome and Carthage before returning to the ship.

Late start
... were left on our own. We ate at a little cafe near campus then headed back to the hotel. The University is so confusing. We have two trial weeks of class, and many of the professors and international students don't even show up to class the first week. Then registration begins and after that there is an add/drop period. The campus is even confusing. There are a lot of dead ends and mysterious sidewalks and alleyways that don't actually go anywhere.
