April 7, 2010. One year later

The last stop on our cruise was Valletta, Malta.  We decided this would be the only port we would not take an official shore excursion with Norwegian.  None of the tours really caught our attention so we figured we would just wander the town and take it easy.

Valletta is known for its awesome port called "Grand Harbour" that is home to incredible yachts and sailboats as well as its unique architecture and city streets.

































































































































































The weather was fairly cold and windy that day, especially since we were near the water most of the time.  When we boarded the ship to leave, it had become increasingly overcast which caused the temperature to drop.  But we of course had to claim our seats on the back of the ship to wave goodbye to Malta and have our usual mixed drinks :)  Since we knew we were honeymooning in the Mediterranean, neither of us thought to bring gloves or earmuffs to wear on the ship so we had to come up with our own makeshift earmuffs...


































One of the problems with being on our honeymoon is that we rarely got pictures that both of us were in.  So we had one of the ship's staff members take a picture of us as the boat was leaving the port. 






























We had one more day at sea before the ship docked in Barcelona so we were determined to use that last day to rest and reminisce on the past 20 days.  We also wanted to soak up as many rays as we could so we'd have a nice golden glow when we arrived home.  Well, the weather didn't quite cooperate and we ended up sailing through some pretty big swells.  Not once did either of us get sea sick so we kind of enjoyed the storm :)
