I can highly recommend Malta as a holiday destination for those of you who like fairly quiet, picturesque and very steeped in history places. It's not that big. As I was there seven years ago, I tried not to repeat photos I had taken before. My other ones from then are only prints, but feature more of the Island including the Blue Lagoon and Gozo. The country has featured in many Hollywood movies as a background in films such as Gladiator. They changed to euro currency in January this year. Alex, most of the old buses are family heirlooms, and are therefore privately owned. Good fun to be on, but I'm surprised the drivers haven't gone deaf.
