We just returned from a great time in Malta. For such a little island, it has so much history. The people were very friendly and the weather warm and sunny. We took city busses everywhere, and I swear they were built in the 1940's. It was a real experience! AND since they were under English rule for a very long time, they drive on the left. We found some great Italian and Maltese restaurants, loved the local wines, and did lots of walking. Fred lost trying to negotiate with a Maltese fishing woman when I was buying one of her homemade net bags. She kept showing him her arthritic hands, and he just paid her what she wanted.
The cathedral in Valetta (the capital)was a cemetary with the entire floor covered with marble markers for people who died in the 1600s. We also enjoyed looking at the oldest (even older than the pyramids) freestanding manmade structures. M'dina (another very old city) was unique and interesting. I would even go back someday.
