Our Roatan Adventure

My family comes to Malta

1 Comment

Two weeks ago, we welcomed six of my family members to Malta.  My mom, dad, sister, 2 aunts and an uncle all came to Malta for 3 days before going to Greece for a week.  I loved showing them around Malta.  We took them to our favorite places, ate some great Maltese food and had a whole lotta fun together!

We spent a day in Valletta learning some Malta history and seeing some popular sights.  They took a tour of St. John's Co-Cathedral and had some pastizzi on the steps.  I love Valletta and it was fun to just walk around this beautiful place.

We rented a van one day and took them on a little island tour.  First stop, Marsaxlokk.  Everyone loved this cute fishing village.

We went to the Blue Grotto and then on to Hagar Qim and Manjdra, site of the neolithic temples.  I had not been before so it was a new experience for me, too!

We had lunch in Mdina and then walked around the cool little streets admiring the midaevil architecture.

    That WAS fun!! Thanks for showing us around. It seems unreal that we were there only 2 weeks ago. I love Valetta – what an interesting little town. I’m glad to see you posted all of the names of the places we went – now I don’t have to look them up 🙂
