The long awaited greeting and a first from Malta for me, arrived today!
How wonderful that people are still keen to give you a thought in snail mail, sending postcards from such wonderful travel destination, with beautiful stamps.
I feel very special as I know many other people feel that way too.
Thank you Barry for your efforts and just for sending me this lovely card from your holiday in Malta.
Did you know:
~Malta is one of Europe’s smallest countries?
~They drive on the left. (Like we do)
~The Brits ruled Malta until 1964, when it became independent.
~It’s a walkers paradise, with numerous tours to take visitors along the coastline of Malta and Gozo, I have already earmarked it for a visit - Hopefully before I'm too old!
~ Hagar Qim, which dates back some 5,000 years, is the best preserved ancient limestone temple on Malta. AMAZING!
I hope you all like my postcard with a little information on the beautiful place of Malta.
Its on my bucket list too!

@Asylum I know - I have noticed many a small place have no postcards anymore, i noticed that in Botswana as well - like they dont believe the tourist still post snail mail. Well I think its marvelous to be able to still do this and I send to anyone that likes the idea.
