The island of Malta
Our first port of call while aboard the Norwegian Gem was Valletta, Malta. Malta is an island that throughout history was considered to be a crucial strategic location due to its position in the Mediterranean Sea.
We got up extra early to witness our arrival into Malta. What I thought was neat was how it looks like a big fort. Alot of the cities along the coast looked like this.
This is the entrance to Mdina, a medieval, walled city.
We spent the 2nd half of the day at Meliah Bay, a beautiful beach outside the capital city. The only problem was that the water was freezing. Josh had goose bumps the size of golf balls. FYI, if you go to Europe in May, don't expect to go sun bathing. It is just too cold.
