Sunday Mdina
















Hi everybody! How was your weekend? On Saturday I went to the Marsa sports field to watch Vince play rugby for the first time with his new team. I can't believe I forgot my camera! Oh man! It was so awesome to watch Vince get down and dirty in a scrum with his short shorts let me tell you girls! Sorry Aunt Lyn no pictures of the hot frenchman this week but I promise I will take some next Sat. :)
So on Sunday we went to Mdina. It's Malta at it's most picturesque! The outer stone walls were fortified as early as 1000BC by the Phoenicians. It's even got an old moat around it! In medieval times it was the capital city and called the Nobile City. Now a days there are only around 300 inhabitants and it's called the Silent City. Well either way it's enchanting. We roamed around the spooky stone streets and stopped for coffee and cake at Le Fontanella one of the only restaurants in town. It sits on the edge of the town walls and has spectacular views over the country side onto the sea. I will post more pictures of that tomorrow.
Love and Hugs
