Leo went home, & we made it to Malta. The journey to Gatwick was uneventful & the flight pretty good too. Uber to hotel €14, hotel is nice boutique place overlooking the harbour. The views from the balcony are great as is weather so far. Had a few beers & snacks in harbour bar when we arrived, all good. Late getting out this morning, didn't catch ferry to Valetta until after midday. Weather sunny 24 Deg Celsius, no breeze. Wandered over to Fort St Elmo & visited the military museum. The stories of the island being besieged by the Ottomans & then Hitler are really something being saved by the Knights of St John, Keith Park & Pedestal.
Found a nice Maltese restaurant called Ta'Kris down a back alley, top notch. Lin had Majjal il-Forn (braised pork, onions, garlic with veg), I had Dad's Famous Bragioli (meat loaf wrapped in steak, slow cooked) All washed down with Gozo Merlot.
