Hi there, I am going on another Med cruise which stops in Mallorca and Malta. I haven't been to either and am wondering what to do there? I will have 2 sisters and 2 teenage nieces with me. No mobility issues and well developed sense of adventure. Any advice, suggestions, anecdotes to share?

Malta...you should visit the glass factory and ship your glass home and then walk around town with another LCTer and not be able to find your way back to the ship just before it sails. (lol)

Just kidding. The glass factory is wonderful, but there were lots of shipping issues. I would recommend it, but perhaps you should bring an extra suitcase. The downtown was not worth almost missing the ship.

I enjoyed our short cathedral visit on the way back from the glass factory.

Denise, any further recommendations? <img border="0" alt="[naughty]" title="" src="graemlins/naughty.gif" />

Didn't even know there was a glass factory. I have bought and shipped home several things from Murano w/o problem. I love glass. What kind of issues did you have?

You can take a gorgeous scenic drive along the mountainous cost line of Majorca. It is steep and curvy with a stunning view a minute. I would not try to drive this myself, however, as the road is narrow. I am sure there will be a tour offered with this drive. We were in a tour bus with large picture windows and had a great view. We were on the left of the bus which for our tour was the best, but it might not work that way every time. I have been to Majorca before, and this was the best thing we ever did there.

I had no issues, since I was living in Europe and the shipping worked fine. However, others never received their items or there were customs issues. I just remember it was a headache for some folks. Beautiful and reasonable glassware. Ngaire introduced us all.

Thanks Early retiree and Sedona for your info. I will take the coast road and the glass factory advice
