Mission in Malta
From Deb - I’ve always wanted to travel to Malta and in 2005 I finally did! The capital, Valletta is crammed with beautiful churches & squares. There’s great food - cheese pastries called pastizzis, loads of pasta, pizza & fish. I stayed on the island of Gozo for 2 months; a rocky ancient landscape dotted with farms & swimming coves. Malta is a very special place, the people are so welcoming. But be very careful on the roads. Maltese drivers have some very ‘exciting’ driving habits!
