Laura begins her trip to the historic island of Malta by visiting a re-enactment of La Guardia, which represents a military performance that used to take place quite regularly in the time of the Knights of St. John. Then Laura visits the walled city of Mdina. After that, it’s on to Valletta, the city the Knights of St. John created after the siege of 1568. The adventure continues with a jeep tour that takes Laura on the back roads of Malta where she visits some rural and religious historical sites. Her favorites - St. Paul’s Catacombs and the Temple of Hagar Qim. The next thing you know, Laura is shopping in local villages where each township is known for their own handicraft. No trip to Malta would be complete without a visit to The Blue Grotto, just one of the naturally occurring caves here, and a trip to the Maltese island and Gozo. Finally Laura rounds out her trip with an excursion to Ggantia, the oldest free-standing structure in the world.
