Rare drron29 Posted May 20, 2023 Author #1079 Share Posted May 20, 2023 The Container port is nearby. One thing I wanted to do was to try a meat pie. I walked past a pastry shop. Didn't look the best but a meat pie was just 2 euro so I bought one. Wasn't a great meat pie but actually one of the best pasties I have had. Many buildings look old but looks can be deceptive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare drron29 Posted May 20, 2023 Author #1080 Share Posted May 20, 2023 The last of the village. Now a bit of a pointless diversion on our way to the Blue Grotto. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare drron29 Posted May 20, 2023 Author #1093 Share Posted May 20, 2023 The Church had what the parishioners called a miracle on 9th April 1942 when 3 bombs fell on the church whilst a service was in progress. two deflected off and caused no damage. One pierced the roof but failed to explode. So a replica is on display. And now time to leave the church and get back to the Moon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And JP the pink jacket made an appearance most nights as informal nights were more numerous than formal + casual nights. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare drron29 Posted May 20, 2023 Author #1095 Share Posted May 20, 2023 Unfortunately you are dropped back at the cruise terminal because of security. The only security was looking at your room card. A joke. But it meant we had to get a shuttle boat to get to our dock. It was an utter shambles as according to other guests who went into Valetta independently they got a shuttle at 1.05 pm and within 5 minutes all the tours arrived back so we got a absolutely packed service at 2pm. Some views from the service. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were these most-recent pictures from Malta? Without labeling, it's hard to keep track. Love to hear your final summary for the ship's food and service quality at the end. Keep up the great sharing. THANKS! Enjoy! Terry in Ohio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare drron29 Posted May 20, 2023 Author #1099 Share Posted May 20, 2023 Dinner in Atlantide. We both started with the Beef tartare then I had the lobster bisque and miso glazed cod. Rojaan had the lamb cutlets for mains and then the Eton mess. I finished with a creme brulee. Though not on the menu it can always be ordered. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
