Tourist Checklist This Far

So we have twenty-two days left in Malta. Equals three weekends for tourist activities since my husband works during the week. So far we have seen quite a few sight and crossed of some bucket list items!

1. Azure Window definitely a bucket list item. I looked at so many pictures of this rock formation before we traveled to Malta. None do it justice. It is an amazing area to visit. The water is the most gorgeous blue your eyes will see. No camera can capture it. It is a place you must see if you are an ocean and nature lover! Gozo island is such a lovely place to visit. Much more laid back and relaxed than the main island of Malta. 

2. Valetta is wish we were staying here rather than St. Julian's. It is less chaotic and fussy. So much history and beauty in such a tiny city. We fell in love with its churches and architecture. The beautiful Grand Harbour is breathtaking too. The sapphire blue waters get me every time. 

3. Blue Grotto so far is elusive. The waters were too rough to see it by boat so we will have to try again. Can't wait til we do. Definitely on my bucket list of thugs to do. 

4. Paradise Bay is just what it's name says. Clear waters just perfection. Love being able to say we swam in the Mediterranean!

5. Malta Aquarium is small but enjoyable. The staff was nice enough to explain to us about different species on exhibit. Munchkin loved it. Since most tanks when down to the floor so little visitor can enjoy it too. There seems to be a lot of space in some areas of the building so hopefully they will be adding exhibits in the future. 

6. Mdina is another place we are going to have to retry. We tried to visit on a Sunday, but there was absolutely nowhere to park. So disappointed!
