If you haven't, read up on the bad ass founder of Valletta before you go

Ggantila Temple on Gozo is the second oldest building ever found on the earth.

Follow up with some pics!!

Malta is stunning - enjoy!

In Valletta look for the pub where Oliver Reed died during the filming of Gladiator.

My wife and I just returned from Malta this morning

What an amazing ancient country and beautiful nation .

We did almost everything to do other than go to Gozo and visit the blue Lagoon, which I know is a huge piece of Malta, but we just couldn't ever find a time to do it. Here are some pics.

Nice
