Island Man, just over a year ago I landed on Malta after my freighter trip from Singapore. I stayed first in Marsaxlokk for several days, at Duncan Accommodations, above the bar of the same name, which it appears Chihuahua Man is looking right at! I loved the town, especially fun on market day. Thanks for the memory.

Love the photo and the backstory, Islandman! Chihuahuas are really quite amazing animals -- extremely intelligent and very affectionate with their owners. A little small for my taste, but I can see his attraction to them.

More blue boats.....I believe I'm seeing a trend, here, PM. Do you dream of blue boats?

The real question is more like “why are boats painted blue in so many places?” In Venice we found that the UPS boat, which surely should have been brown, was bright blue with a UPS-brown rudder!

Malta is less than 200 miles from the coast of Africa. It has a winter climate that is absolutely perfect. Its summer climate can be extremely hot. Christmas in Malta is amazing. The locals wearing their furs and heavy coats. And its still between 70 and 80f !

Maybe the simple truth is that the world is full of blue boats.

One of my all time favorite destinations. So much history, excellent Mediterranean cuisine, and fantastic weather. Love touring Gozo. Recommend the Hilton Malta in St. Julian's. Great service, ambiance and food. Also, recommend a light lunch with Bruschetta Matese and local white wine at the Raffael Restaurant on their terrace overlooking Spinola Bay.
