Cruise: Day Eleven

Wednesday, 15 December

Day Eleven – Malta

Late Start - getting some much needed rest on a docked ship!

Windjammer Lunch Buffet

Walk to top of the hill. I've been so exhausted throughout the trip that I wasn't looking forward to the steep walk.  But it wasn't too bad!  Along the way, we encountered a Cat café, where food and shelter were left for the many feline inhabitants of the area.   We then visited a human café for cappuccino and hot chocolate. More drizzlage.

Window shopping….great glass store!

Looked for interesting chess board, possibly with knights of Malta, but no luck.

Returned to the ship and said goodbye to Malta.  Although I'm sad we missed Egypt, I'm glad that we got the extra day in Malta.  We'd love to go back for a longer visit.  It's a beautiful and charming place that doesn't seem extraordinarily overpriced!

Dinner

String Fever show - really great!

Quest. Super funny. I had a frozen mojito….different and yummo.

Bottle of wine in the room with middle of the night room service treats: Caesar salad, pepperoni pizza, international cheese plate, cookies of the day (oatmeal raisin…I hate raisins and had to eat around them on my cookie). Room service was a challenge because we discovered that our ‘incident’ broke our phone. We could hear the other end, but the other end couldn’t hear us.  But we were determined and found a way!

Dinner:

Jerry – Onion soup (not French, so no cheese), Tempura, Banana Parfait

Heather – Spinach artichoke dip (a little bland), Gnocchi in cream sauce (not so good so I exchanged it for tempura), Fish & Shrimpy Tempura (super yummy), Brownie/Mousse thing that wasn’t so moussey, Jerry’s was yummier
