Day 6 of the trip brought us to our first port-of-call- Malta. Malta is an island country located south of Italy and north of Tunisia. This country actually has a large strip of good beaches and is thus a popular holiday destination for British package tours. We docked in the capitol city of Valletta, an old medieval fortress city with an excellent protected harbour. Malta has an interesting history involving the famous Knights of Malta and the Crusades but you will have to read about it elsewhere. A favorite memory of mine from this trip comes from Valletta and is seen in the photo above. It's some of the local cats waiting for their dinner to come in! So cute!
