Malta Update
30/9/13 21:58 The Malta update is to say, I'm in Malta! I am sat in a rocking chair with a glass of red Maltese wine, very full from the beautiful food ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
lilithilien cooked me earlier. All round we are having a Very Nice Time. We spent the day exploring the ancient walled city of Mdina (Mdina apparently meaning Walled City) which dates back 4000 years from when it was first settled. Then we explored the city outside the walls, Rabat (no guesses what Rabat means), and then the Catacombs underneath Rabat.
Lil said she felt all Night Vale-y when we descended the steps into the Catacombs while the audio-guide voice intoned, "Do not fear the Catacombs."
Mdina is notably very pretty and is used for filming all the things. I mostly couldn't tell though. I was just thoroughly charmed.
We are also watching Wentworth starring Danielle Cormack of Legend of the Seeker fame as a woman who goes to prison for attempting to murder her violent husband. So far we're up to episode 5. It's awesome. Episode 5 is the episode in which everyone talks about how they like to masturbate. Basically all the women are in pretty dire situations and they're trying to cope in a violent, scary environment but enforcing a brutal loyalty amongst themselves. The "found-family" is just as dysfunctional as the home lives most of the women have escaped but it's potentially all that's keeping them going. So far my favourite character is Boomer "I used to knock a few heads together" Jenkins, long may she continue.
Has anyone else seen it? Anyone wanna place bets on how f-ed up the Franky/Erica thing could get? Any other ships people want to float by me?
Tomorrow we're going to see the waters of the famous Blue Grotto and visit some prehistoric temples.
Hopefully I can pass on some holiday cheer to you guys!
