Last night we had just one plan for today and that was to go to Kalkara and visit Fort Rinella. By this morning we had added to that plan, and that was to go back to Valletta first and check out St John's Co-Cathredral.

As soon as I landed in Malta, the relaxing, slow way of life hits you at the airport. Everyone is friendly and nobody is in a mad rush to run you over at the passport counter. The warm air and breezes are relaxing right away, and it just makes you want to run for the water. Right from the first minutes, Malta was inviting. The taxi drive into town took 15 minutes, and the driver was able to joke and tell stories the entire ride. I get dropped off at the hotel near Valletta, and it is great! 3 pools, diving shop at the hotel, 4 restaraunts. Awsome! First thing is first, and after check in, its time to hit the pool and figure out what the adjenda is. Tomorrow is sailing to a small island ... read more
