This trip was arranged with Bruce and Ruth from Brisbane around the beautiful island of Malta. We met on the pier and was greeted by Ronnie, our chauffeur for the day in a Mercedes 320, black and lovely. Seats a little small with three in the back but we managed. Malta has pop. of 440,000 and is 19 miles by 9. Densely populated all over island. Visited the fishing boats at Marsaxlokk with its colourful boats, verypretty place then to the archaeology site which is called Hagar Qim, which dates back 6,000 years and the site came to light around WW1. Huge megaliths all in great order. We then headed to Naxxar where you see the tiny island of Comino and the cliffs are like grottos , boats take you into them.
The dome shaped church in Mosta is where the Germans dropped a bomb, but the bomb did not detonate and it took days to dismantle. Amazing.
Lunch in a beautiful garden called Luna Di Sera, lovely food but too much, enjoyed the garden much more, but a great place to visit.
We then returned to Valletta the long way round the coast which was very scenic. On arrival we stopped at the Barraka gardens which overlook the lovely harbour, Fantastic views and another great garden. A nice way to finish a beautiful day.
