We were amazed when we woke up and saw the amazing city out of our verandah window. All of the old architecture and walls next to the ship. Really enjoyed this city.

Mgarr, Malta

Nice port. Just too bad that most of the shops and restaurants were closed so could not do much. We should have taken an excursion here. Need to let cruisers know in advance about Siesta from 1200 - 1600.
