  The Island of Malta   We visited Mdina, a beautiful walled town with ancient cobbled streets. Here we explored the town and marvelled in all its delights. We stopped for some shopping and ice cream along the way. We also visited the ancient cathedral and museum which was incredible.  We took a boat trip around the three harbours and Valleta.

We had to stack milk crates as high as possible whilst climbing them.The highest stack was 11! We had great fun in the amazing indoor swimming pool. We had a fantastic time grooming the lovely horses before we prepared them to be ridden.  We started in the indoor school before a little hack along the beautiful lanes.

We walked through the Valley of the Rocks with spectacular autumnal sce...
