Here are some pics we took during our stay on Malta in 2002 in the month of March. Somehow we managed to completely lose one photo film. Not a trace was left behind. These are some photos taken from the remaining material.
This is a look at the Maltese capital of Valetta taken from the town of Sliema across a broad sea inlet. There's a ferry connecting the two towns. If you want to go there by car or Malta bus, it will take you about twenty minutes. Sliema is the place where Mikhail Gorbachev and George Bush I met more than a decade ago. The dome belongs to the Anglican cathedral of St. Paul's.
Here are some pics we shot in Valetta....

St. John's Cathedral in Valetta |
| You
can see myself relaxing at a street café opposite the cathedral,
enjoying the warm Mediterranean pre-spring sunshine.
Ulrike took the pic. It's a pity she couldn't join me for you to watch the two of us sitting side by side. |

That's
why I took this shot, even though she didn't want me to. She was standing
next to a newsstand. Look at all those Malta travel guides in many different
languages giving you a notion of the European vacation spirit. Needless
to say that it comes along pretty convenient for many people.
There are versions in Japanese and Chinese as well as in English, French, German, Italian, Greek, Russian, etc. |

That's
a view of Mdina Cathedral.
In medieval times, Medina had been the Maltese capital for centuries. Somehow, these ancient Roman Catholic cathedrals remind me of missions in the American Southwest. |
