Malta, part two

Where did we leave off?  Oh, WE HAVE A ROOM!!.  Very nice to wake up on Sunday all settles into our suite.  This morning the ship moved to anchor off the shore of another island in the Maltese archipelago, Gozo.  After the rush cleared, we boarded a tender to take us to shore.  Check back on the New Zealand 2015 trip if you need a refresher on the tendering process.  The bay was pretty choppy so you had to wait for the tender to make it through a wave or two to get the rhythm to know when to pray and jump aboard.

We only stayed in the port for an hour of so.  It was a small fishing village and didn't feel the need to take a bus or taxi further inland.  Spent the afternoon relaxing/reading/napping.

Today the ship is celebrating King's Day, a national holiday in Holland.  Everyone is wearing orange and they are serving orange margaritas, mimosas, orange Fanta soda and anything else orange they can find.

The ships horn just sounded, indicating Captain Mark is pulling anchor to get us to our next destination on Tuesday.  I believe that means the casino should open soon.....um, gotta run....
