Malta

A late blog today because we’ve been busy exploring Malta.

More of that in a moment, but first, yesterday we did something neither of us has ever done before. We saw Africa. OK, it was only the coast of Tunisia on the horizon, but Africa is Africa.
Today we docked in the Grand Harbour in Valetta. This is another place where the town is at the top of a hill. Here is the view from our veranda this morning


And this is our next door neighbour, from the Portuguese navy.



We walked up to the top of the town and took this picture of the ship on the way down …



… plus some of the harbour …



… together with one of the locals.



And finally, here’s Marie enjoying the view of Valetta from the Veranda.


Must dash as we’re about to leave port and we want to watch.

Marie and John
