Bill and Lynne in Malta

Bill and Lynne blog about their travels in Malta and say that they "have felt quite at home". From Bill and Lynne Grand Tour:

..Our hotel overlooks Marsamxett Harbor looking across to Valetta, the capital. We took a fabulous harbor cruise that chugs around each of the nine creeks of Marsamxett and the Grand Harbor so could see the fortifications, buildings and major ship building from the water. Valetta was laid out by an engineer when the knights decided to build a new capital after they held out against Suleiman in the Great Siege. All the streets are straight so as to catch every breeze from the water and it is a delight to walk in the shade of the limestone buildings with a cool breeze in your face. The balconies are unique and a definite part of Maltese life...
