pics Malta
[July, 2005] After I returned last month to Sweden (from Málaga), I spent quite some time trying to figure out what to do for the rest of the summer. I decided it would be great to spend it in sunny, gorgeous Malta!

The pictures are divided by city / region; the cities are presented in the approximate order in which I visited them. Here is a map for the geographically-inclined:
