| MALTA |
|
|
|
Our second port visit was to the island of Malta. Malta has an amazing history that predated the Egyptian civilization. What makes this tiny European nation so intresting is how its millinea old history sits right next door to its most modern achievements. This was by far my favorite port stop. |
