We have been here before and knew to get up early and watch the sail in. So Bob was up very early in the crows nest and I got up around 5:30 yes I know what you all are thinking and yes we are crazy. But in Malta it's all about the views. It's a walled city that was very much destroyed in WW11. It has come back and there are beautiful monuments all over the city. They said that whom ever conquered Malta would hold the Mediterranean. As dawn broke we could see the harbor getting closer. We heard that there are 5 ships in port today. We are on another tour with the Ensemble group today a walking tour, lunch, and a small boat ride. Thank you Janet for adding us on the list. Should be another great day. There is a Costa Mega ship right behind us.
We had a fabulous day today. We drove to the other side of the harbor and visited the first inhabited town in Malta's historic creek. We had some snacks and wine to get us threw the day. We had a gondola ride which our Captain was so so good. 85years old and still loving what he does. He even sang to us. After a nice tour of the harbor we walked up a hill and had some lunch. The soup was fantastic but the main meal I am sorry we just could not eat. Stuffed octopus with some kind of fish......yuck sorry had to pass on this. Then we got back on our ancient tour bus and went back to the ship. The ship was leaving at 5:00 with a Canon Ball Salute. 8 canons went off as we departed. We had our second sail away party today, and we had lots of fun. It was a great day. Tomorrow we are in Trapani Italy.
