Loads of history in Malta, lovely place which I must visit again! I don't remember much of it as last time I was there was 1977, but it looks great.

My Dad and uncles served in Malta between the North Africa campaign and the invasion of Italy.

They often said that they lost their "toothbrushes" in Malta. I have no idea if they lost them at the same time or in the same "place".

Any photos of WW2 would be much appreciated. Maybe I'll spot my Dad...and perhaps the person that stole his toothbrush!

In the the seventies, I used to visit Malta 3 times a year as a family member owned a villa in St Paul's Bay and I had the use of his car. Beautiful island, and fairly unspoiled then. Locals were exceptionally friendly and hospitable.  

Mdina the silent city is a fascinating place to visit and a trip to Gozo is worthwhile

Thanks for the pictures, which brought back some good memories.

I have a cousin who lives on Gozo,although we've talked on video link recently I haven't seen him since 1982.

Must pay a visit whilst we're both still breathing.

One of the negatives of organised tours is the fact that they often call at jewellery outlets, cut/blown glass outlets and similar.  Some may enjoy but really not for me.  The above is the view from outside the cut glass outlet which we visited.  The cut and blown glass is beautiful, but even so I would not fancy carrying it in check in luggage on a flight.  Moan over.
