The Island of Malta
In the warm sunshine we took a stroll along the promenade viewing the many boats in the harbour and took lovely photos. We then explored the town with ancient cobbled streets, and treated ourselves to a delicious ice cream and browsed the many gift shops. 
A trip to Valletta, the capital of Malta was fascinating. This city had so much history for us to explore. We visited the saluting battery which is situated up high along Valletta’s historic ramparts, overlooking the grand harbour surrounded by fortified towns. Each day at 12 noon, a canon is fired to signify the time of day. We were so lucky to witness this salute and have photographs taken with a soldier. 
We enjoyed a refreshing dip in the hotel swimming pool and catching the rays relaxing on the sunbeds.
We took a boat trip to Gozo and the Blue Lagoon. Gozo is one of 21 Maltese islands in the
Mediterranean sea and is full of history. The boat trip was smooth and everyone
enjoyed the scenic views. 
When
we disembarked at Mgarr harbour, we jumped on an open top bus and had a
sightseeing tour around Gozo taking in the picturesque scenery. Our high
position enabled us to have panoramic views of the stunning harbour and the
church of Saint John the Baptist which was built in the late 17th
century.
At the Sea Life Aquarium we
viewed many Mediterranean and tropical marine species in over 41 tanks. The highlight of the visit was walking through the glass tunnel where stingrays, fish and sharks swam above us. 
In the evening we enjoyed great entertainment and danced the night away!
We went to visit a classic car museum which was underground and set over 2 floors. It
housed many iconic and restored classic cars alongside 1940s, 50s and 60s
memorabilia. Everyone enjoyed this experience and were keen to have photos
taken alongside the classic cars.
