When we visited Mdina last year, it was a grey and drizzly day, but it was a beautiful place to visit, so we decided to take Erin and Natalie back. Besides, the doorways of the Silent City make for some of the best photographs anywhere!

After exploring and admiring Mdina (AKA The Silent City), we walked into the neighboring town of Rabat where we had a delicious lunch at Bottegins Secret Garden, and then toured the St Paul’s Catacombs. The Catacombs are an impressive and expansive array of underground tombs that were dug out of rock. A legend has it that they were dug by giants, but as we were constantly having to stoop down to negotiate these tunnels, we had doubts about this legend. (No pictures due to very dim lighting and very cramped views).

We headed back to the boat mid afternoon and had a slightly chilly but super refreshing swim off the boat.

Then it was time to head back into town for another fun meal together.
