Malta (Day 1)

After an uneventful flight, we picked up our rental car (a tad challenging—we haven’t driven on the left-hand side of the road since 2015 when we were in Scotland.) We then grabbed lunch, went food shopping, and met Alex!

The name Malta comes from the Phoenicians who christened the island “maleth” or ‘place of shelter’. We’re excited to explore this interesting island of ~520,000 people over the next 4 days.
The AirB&B we booked in Sliema has a panoramic sea view and the distant thunderstorms provided a fun light show as we toasted the birthday boy.
Alex is in charge of the birthday dinner reservation. I doubt we’ll find turkey and cranberry sauce here.

Stay tuned!Read more
