It's not Cyprus. For comparison's sake we decided we should check out another small Mediterranean Island. Malta won the toss. We spent 3.5 days poking around. And -- surprise -- we like it!

Lighted in the foreground is Victoria Gate, one of several gates to this 600m x 1000m walled captial city.
News & Notes
Although Malta is tiny, we ferried to the even tinier island, Gozo. On the way we passed the Blue Lagoon. Guess how it might of gotten its name. A complete Malta page coming soon.

Cyprus' summer cataclysm: hard to define, easy to enjoy. See the Kataklysmos Web page.
Our friend David Baduel (from the ship trip) is back home in France. David decided it was waaay too easy to travel around the world when you take airplanes -- true. So, he didn't. And the result is an amazing trip. Check his fascinating Web page and take a look at his route -- that's Itinéraire in French -- and scroll through. Don't speak French? Not to worry. His spectacular photographs speak a universal language. Welcome home, David!
L needed a break from writing, but what to do on a hot day? Head to the beach! This one is in Polis on the north coast of Cyprus. The Mediterranean was cool and clear -- very refreshing.
