Home again, Iowa where the RV is parked
Our final three days, Paris France
Cruise to eastern Mediterranean
On to Roma, Italy
Herculaneum, Italy
Malta to Italy
We left Malta September 1st on a ferry to Sicily. We spent most of that day in Catania, Sicily. Caught a glimpse of Mount Etna just after the eruption the day before. Then we got on a train at 8pm. We fell asleep on the births in our sleeper compartment to the sound of the train chugging along. The whole train was then loaded onto a ferry. The next thing we noticed was the silence and the swaying of the train as the ferry took us to the Italian mainland. Then the train rolled off the ferry and we continued on our overnight journey to Naples.

Late post, Malta
It has several underground historical burial sites and chapels.
The sandy beaches are few and far between and artificially maintained with truckloads of sand, but the water is warm.
Due to the temperate climate, Malta was inhabited over 10,000 years ago and boasts the worlds oldest freestanding monolithic structure.
Malta produces grapes, citrus, and olives, and produces fine wine. Malta is also home to the Maltese dog, the Maltese Cross, and the Maltese Falcon (Peregrine Falcon).
