"Soooo Robin," we both said. :) It was some of the best wine we've ever had (we could choose between sweet and dry, and we chose the dry each time). It was a no-brainer to go back for more...and to return with our empty bottles.

First of all, apparently everyone has their own recipe, which they think is the best. And actually, since we tried it in 3 different restaurants, we can tell the difference between recipes! Here's a link which explains it all better than I can: http://www.europeancuisines.com/Malta-Maltese-Bragioli-Stuffed-Beef-Slices-Or-Beef-Olives-Recipe. I’d go back for the bragioli alone! :)<br />Ginnie Harthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14014434422568561157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10327858.post-31823241523058264682016-04-29T08:15:28.637+02:002016-04-29T08:15:28.637+02:00Thank you, Marie...and this is only just one part ...Thank you, Marie...and this is only just one part of the island.

I loved the promenade, I walked it a few times. I even took a sim the last day. Wonderful pictures to get the gist of what we did and what we ate. The food was very good. Our local farmer sold some great goods and the wine was delicious. I am looking forward to your next post. The fun of your post is that I re-live the vacation...
