The Island of Malta

Just returned from week on Malta
a lovely island with lots of sun
situated just south of Italy
so full of history and loads of fun

Many interesting places to visit
the capital Valletta's great place
something to interest everybody
much to do where folks pure ace

Sliema is also worth a visit
walk along prom has much to see
over to the island of Goza
take the ferry across nearby sea

Go to see where apostle Paul landed
shipwrecked there named St Paul's bay
also see Popeye's village nearby
where movie filmed down that way

My base was up north at Mellieha
very quiet but loads of steps to climb
so a lovely week enjoyed very much
hope visit again some day another time

We stayed in Malta back in 2004 wonderful island but disagree with their policy of killing off birds of prey to save pigeons (mainly the British imports sad to say) good poem hugs

Thanks Shadow, glad you liked it. I didn't know about Malta's policy about birds, but as you say it's a wonderful island. Hope you're having a great day, blessings Gordon
