Malta, February 2009 - Glassblowers & Madeline’s Cottage

Had breakfast with Deb and Karen, we decided to head out to the crafts area near Mdina. We took the bus and missed the stop so we hopped on another bus that dropped us off. Then it started hailing. We went into several shops, the first had a café’ were we ate lunch. At the end of the road we found the Phoenician Glassblowers factory.  I was able to go to the back and watch them make glassware.  We headed back to the hotel and met backup in the lounge for cocktails before dinner. We went to Madeline’s Cottage for another excellent dining experience. The waiter recognized us from four months ago, I was impressed. I ordered the same meal I had last time, it was identical, amazing! Afterwards, our driver did not show up. Therefore, we arranged for another driver. When we left, the original driver arrived but it was too late. We ran into the driver at the main desk, he was upset so we said we would pay for the ride to the restaurant. We then had cocktails in the lounge. Steve and his girlfriend showed up and hung out with us the rest of the night.
