Malta

We were told that sailing into Malta at sunrise was not to be missed, so we ate breakfast on our balcony as the sun came over the harbor. Malta was lovely and seemed to be frozen in an ancient time. We saw fortresses and catacombs, Roman ruins and temples, and perfectly preserved mosaics crafted thousands of years ago. Lunch was in a huge underground hall that was originally a hospital run by the Knights of Malta. It was nice to get out of the heat -- temps were in the 90s and the sun was scorching. We were all dying to take a dip but couldn't find a beach -- water water everywhere and not a drop to swim in!
