Cruising in Malta

"Where's Malta? Why Malta?"

These questions.. ;)

"I stare at the world map, look for an unfamiliar name, and check Google images."

That's what I love to do. And this is Malta!

One of the smallest countries in the wold.. 

Off the southern coast of Italy.. A European archipelago in the Mediterranean Sea..

Where charming towns like St. Julian's are sprinkled with colourful fishing boats ..

And public Maltese buses make you want to ride.. just for a ride ;)

On the rooftop of a hop-on hop-off tour bus.. is the laziest way to see..

This fascinating backdrop of a country..

With a walled medieval old town on a hill.. the "silent city" of Mdina..

And the 9th largest church dome in the world.. the Rotunda of Mosta..

On the deck of a Catamaran.. is the daydreamiest place to be..

On a gorgeous autumn afternoon in October..

Where the caves of Comino wait..

For a courtesy call from these.. who paid some extra Euros for a little boat ride..

To peek into rock formations and caverns.. where healthier boats cannot go through ;)

Heavens do come down in turquoise coloured days..

Of cold and splashing.. the Blue Lagoon on my face..

Where yachts float with the waves..

Wait for these beaming soaked folks..

Cruise through this marvel of an ancient beauty..

And dock when it's time to shift..

At St. Julian's Bay to hang those bikinis..

Dress up for wine and cheers..

Surprises still linger..

At Westin Dragonara Resort.. Balcony, and what is this?! :)

The Rolex Middle Sea Race comes to chase..

From this paradise.. to bid goodbye and embrace..

I really love this place.. Malta :)
