Mdina

Last night most girls went to the cinema. They saw 'Hansel and Gretel', apparently a 16+ 3D film. Don't ask us how they got in, but somehow the girls managed to convince the staff that they were 16+. But the girls told me that there was only one really scary part in it. They didn't look like they had lost any sleep over it.

Today was a Maltese National holiday, Saint Joseph's day. So we had a limited programme, as the host families were free and wanted to do activities with their guests.

We went to the old capitol of Malta, Mdina, that dated back to the time Malta was occupied by the Arabs. It is a fortified city on top of a hill, overlooking most of Malta. So the kids made many panoramic photos, just like real tourist.

There we did a treasure hunt. Going through the narrow and winding streets of Mdina, the kids were supposed to find the answers to the questions. We don't know if they succeeded to find all the answers, but tomorrow we will hear who has won.

Around noon the host families picked the children up to do some activities in the afternoon. We will hear tomorrow what they did.
