June 10 - Valletta, Malta

Aaron and I arrived in our first port of call. Valletta was absolutely beautiful, we'd go back in an instance to have more time to explore the island fully. But as it was we had to head off quickly to get to the Mediterraneo Sea Park for our date with the dolphins. That was an experience! We swam in the pool with dolphins and their trainers, getting the opportunity to feed the dolphins, execute and few tricks and even get pulled by two of them. Of course there was also time to pose for a photo opp. The star of our show was our buddy Lucas who was adorable. Spent a lot of time with the girls...


After our date with the dolphins we headed back to the boat, took some time to walk the along the port, see the cafes and check out all the shops selling Maltese crosses and glass products. Unfortunately, we did not purchase any crosses at that time, although they were beautiful. Gives us a reason to go back one day.

Then, being our 8th anniversary and all, Aaron and I headed back onto the ship, where we received the best gift of all...our luggage...which had been misplaced by the airline in Frankfurt. So we dressed up, were treated to appetizers in our room and then dinner in the French Restaurant onboard. The food was amazing and it was a very good anniversary indeed.
