And just like that, Erin was back to visit, this time with Natalie (Madeleine’s sister). Their timing was amazing, as we had torrential rain the day before their arrival and high winds the night of, when they opted to stay in a hotel for the first night (using all of the hotel’s hot water to shower and wash hair – water is always of limited supply on the boat). But where to start for their tour of Malta?
The obvious place to start was Valetta, so we hopped the ferry and headed across the harbor. We started with a leisurely breakfast in one of the main squares (plenty of opportunity for people watching), and then strolled the streets. It was a good start, with a little bit of shopping, a little bit of ice cream, and lots of fun.


Natalie had a list of potential restaurants, and we found a great pizzeria called San Pablo Naufrago in one of the narrow, steep, stepped alleyways of the city.


Not a bad start for a first day – how do they not look jet lagged????
