2011 with Klaudia on my 129th trip abroad I have been to Malta for the first time. We spent 9 days in Valletta on holiday. This island state is really very small, interesting the history of the crusaders and everything so Mediterranean-Christian with much pomp and soul pain. Is always something suspect to me. The island has still much construction work since the EU accession in 2004. But it seems to go upward.
It is the last country of the EU27 that I had not visited before. Now only Albania is missing to have completely travelled through Europe.
