Thanks Ponypastor
The island is minuscule in size but history put us in high places , it was a major hub in WW2 , we're big in the Christian religion too , St Paul shipwrecked here and gave us our Christianity also mentioned in the holy Bible , some might remember The summit held between R Reagan and Gorbachov took place in Malta, and of coarse the famous Maltese Falcon , I bet many of you didn't know some of the world's most famous Movies like Gladiator , Christopher Columbus, Troy, and Midnight Express , and many others were mainly filmed in Malta , I'm very glad to hear you took interest in the islands history and as I say to many of co workers who are from all over the globe as I work offshore on Oil rigs ,the island is a great holiday destination and many first time visitors end up coming back .
Regards
Eric
