Next stop – MALTA 🇲🇹! AWT is ✈️ out today to explore this gem of an island country that is tiny but mighty! Fun fact – NYC is 2.5 times LARGER than Malta.

With temples the pre-date the pyramids of Giza and Stonehenge, some of the clearest waters in the world and a capital city that is a baroque masterpiece – there is so much to explore!

, I would like to file a formal complaint. Up until this moment, the staff and guides on the Origin have been nothing short of exemplary. However, we just had the most unpleasant experience on our zodiac. The driver and guide were extremely LAZY. They just couldn’t be bothered and would bark at me when I tried to ask a question. And, as much as I hate to say it, they had a bit of an unpleasant odor.  I took a picture so you could identify the staff members mentioned.

We are a Galápa-going! Follow along as we explore the extraordinary Galápagos Islands on the shiny new Silversea Origin expedition ship!
