WE LANDED AT CHARLES DE GAULLE AIRPORT. IT WAS NECESSARY TO CHANGE TERMINALS FOR OUR FLIGHT TO MALTA. THIS ENTAILED GOING THROUGH SECURITY TWICE, A 30 MIN SCENIC TOUR OF THE AIRPORT BY BUS AND VISIT TO PASSPORT CONTROL. BARRY DESCRIBED THE AIRPORT AS "FORM OVER FUNCTION". I WON'T PRINT MY DESCRIPTION
ON THE 150 MIN FLIGHT TO MALTA WE WERE SERVED A BOTTLE OF WATER AND A WIERD TUNA SANDWICH.
OUR FIRST VIEW OF THE ISLAND
WHEN WE LANDED WE WERE SURPRISED THAT IT WAS RAINING
COLLECTING OUR BAGS
MEREL & RUTGER MET US AT THE AIRPORT FOR OUR RIDE TO ST.JULIAN AND THE DEAN HAMLET HOTEL
AFTER SETTLING IN TO OUR ROOMS WE MET MEREL IN THE LOBBY FOR AN ORIENTATION WALK AROUND THE TOWN
CAPERS GROW ALL OVER THE ISLAND INCLUDING IN THE TOWNS
LOOKING TOWARDS THE CASINO WITH THE CLOUDS ROLLING IN
YOU FIRST NOTICE HOW ROCKY THE ISLAND IS
PAUSING FOR OUR SECOND OF MANY GROUP PHOTOS
WALKING DOWN TO SPINOLA BAY
LOOKING ACROSS THE BAY TO BALLUTA CHURCH
NO SWIMMING TODAY
MEREL LEADS ON
TRYING TO KEEP OUR FEET DRY
VIEWS OF THE HARBOUR
ORIGINALLY ST. JULIAN'S WAS A FISHING VILLAGE, NOW A TOURIST TOWN
TRADITIONAL MALTESE BOATS KNOWN AS LUZZU'S
IN THE EVENING WE HAD A GROUP WELCOME DINNER HOSTED BY OUR GLORIOUS LEADER AT THE RAFFAEL RESTAURANT
AFTER AN ENJOYABLE MEAL IT WAS TIME TO "HIT THE HAY"
