Malta - The city of knights

We just visited St. John's Cathedral and saw more art than any person should be allowed to see including Caravaggio's "Beheading of John the Baptist". The most beautiful thing was arriving in our port this morning in the early morning sun. The say Malta is the city of gold for the fine workmanship in the precious metals, but the island looked like gold when the sun hits the limestone in the morning.

We have walked through the armory of the grandmasters of the holy order of St. John and stood in awe at their ornate platemail.

The people here are so nice. I love being in this city.

Cheers all and we will see you soon with the pictures promised.
