What a beautiful port to sail into.... It was a complete surprise as we had no idea what to expect. We decided we would do the hop on hop off bus which took
approx 2 hrs to do the round trip. We got off at the first stop which was an ancient temple and by ancient I think it was BC. Once again so much history. It was a particularly hot day, so much so that Sandy decided she would stay on the bus and take the rest of the tour back to the air conditioned comfort of the boat while I decided to stay on and get some extra sun. Our next stop was the fishing village, absolutely gorgeous, just like a postcard.
All the boats were painted with bright colors and there was a whole esplanade of souvenirs and restaurants, obviously fish and rabbits are food of choice in Malta, not Maltesers as some may think.
Malta is the home of The Blue Grotto, an ocean cave with the bluest of water.. This was to be our next stop but time was limited so we had to stay on the bus.
We travelled back to the ship to find all this action going on around us. Multiple stages were being set up, there wet helicopters flying around, naval ships in the harbour as well as a couple of superyachts ( when I win powerball I am getting me one). 
This one is only worth $30 million!!
Anyway as it turns out it is Malta's 50 year Independance Day Anniversary on Sunday and there is going to be mega celebrations including an address by Prince William, hence all the extra security.
Malta is definitely a place I would return too and spend 4 or 5 days, so different than anywhere else we have been. Put it on your list, you won't be disappointed!!
