European Vacation Part 2: Malta

// June 27th, 2009 // No Comments » // Pictures, Travel

SANY2151I have to admit that before this vacation, I wasn’t 100% sure that Malta was actually a country. But once I got there and saw how absolutely gorgeous it was, I was so glad it was on our itinerary. We took a bus tour of the main island and got to see the Blue Grotto where they filmed The Count of Monte Cristo (one of my favorite movies of all time) and saw some amazing historical buildings from the Knights of Saint John. We also got to visit a fishing village and the marina, and I got some amazing pictures. (If you want to see all of my Europe pictures, check them out at my flickr account!) We even found the Hard Rock Cafe so Helen could buy a shotglass. The island was so beautiful, it would definitely be worth a second visit – especially the Blue Grotto. Maybe next time I’ll get to see a Maltese Falcon (although Sue did let a trained seahawk perch on her arm). ;)
