Malta

I'm in Valletta. It's very nice. :-) It has a customisable minibar, and unfortunately I've just drunk something from it, having eaten nothing since an admittedly rather enormous breakfast, so I can make no promises about the coherency of this post. I don't approve of checking regular internet sites while on holiday, but Pellinor's in the shower and has left me with his new toy, a teeny little baby laptop, so I succumbed. We hope to track down a Mediterranean buffet soon (which I, rather worryingly, initially typed as "Mediterranean bugger") but the hotel is a little vague about its location. We've seen lots of knightly sites and lots of over-ornate religious sites and some catacombs (written as "catabombs" on our map) and some mysterious temples of the "no-one knows who they were or what they were doing" variety, but sadly won't get to see the best ancient site of the lot, to which we bought one of the limited tickets many months ago, due to having just found out that we (i.e. I) remembered it as being for tomorrow, when it was actually for today. (Phew! What an awful long sentence! Blame the wine.)

Oh. Pellinor's emerging, so I'd better return to my morally superior "at least I don't play on the internet while on holiday" stance.

EDIT: We found the buffet. It was HUGE. I now feel like (((O)))
