Figueres and the Museo de Dali


The big attraction in Figueres (fee-GARE-us) is the eccentric Dali (dah-LEE) Museum,
as well as a visit to a small medieval town.

The Cruise Route The Ship, M/V Corinthian I know, I know. Now where's he going??  Well, the opportunity for this cruise with Overseas Adventure Travel , which I've had my eye on for a while, presented itself to me, and I decided to take it. I have traveled with OAT before, both to Australia and New Zealand in 2023, and on the 2024 Ultimate Safari trip to Southern Africa .  If you're interested   in following along  with me on this trip, just bookmark this page in your browser, and then check every few days after May 5th.

After a nervous afternoon, my bag was later delivered to my hotel.  Malta, who knew !!! What a cool place, and BUSY with lotsa tourists.

At the hotel The view from my balcony Entrance to the hotel swimming area in the sea Our beach and the view out to sea An evening walk and a bite to eat Triton Fountain Wednesday, May 7 Valletta Again, I have to say how much I am enjoying Malta, a place I’ve not only never been, but a place I knew nothing about. One doesn’t hear much about it on our side of t...
