Malta

We had a great guide in Malta but unfortunately my memory couldn’t catch it all so I relied on Google to help me out.
I did not know Malta is a country.  Did you?
Malta is known for its ancient history, featuring prehistoric temples, and for its small size, being the smallest country in the EU. It's an archipelago with two official languages, Maltese and English, and is often used as a filming location. The country has a unique religious heritage, with 365 churches, and its people were awarded the George Cross for bravery during WWII. 

The water was most beautiful sparkling blue that was so relaxing.
  




Valetta’s Harbors




This was the best way to view the three areas of Malta a boat ride.  The tour was called Three Cities and a Boat ride.  Come enjoy with me on this gorgeous day in Malta.












 


 


Malta was our  most favorite place to visit on the cruise.


 







Grateful and Blessed to spend a day in Malta.


Meals & desserts I didn’t cook but enjoyed recently


Lots of travel so I was spoiled.  I must say while traveling the meals and desserts were excellent.  I may never cook again! I could only hope to have a creative chef.  I lost mine lol.































Enjoy the eye candy!

Mediterranean holiday, Monaco and Monte Carlo

The 
Principality of Monaco
 is a sovereign city-state and microstate in Western Europe, located on the French Riviera along the Mediterranean Sea. It is the world's second-smallest independent state, after Vatican City, and is known for its wealth, luxurious lifestyle, and major events like the Formula 1 Grand Prix. 
The above is a reminder of what help google can be.  Our Guide was excellent but grasping it all in a short time impossible.  Enjoy!


Beautiful area and so relaxing.  A Cloudy day today but it didn't stop
Us from enjoying the day.





Monaco and Monte Carlo 










If you are at all challenged with walking don't do this tour.  Lots of walking up steep inclines.  WE DID IT!!!!!!!    




Monte Carlo



Monte Carlo is an official administrative area of Monaco, specifically the ward of Monte Carlo/, where the Monte Carlo Casino is located.

The principality of Monaco is sandwiched between southern France and the Mediterranean Sea; Italy is a short drive away. And Monte Carlo is one of Monaco's most popular districts.
