Malta is proving to be a safe haven for those fleeing Libya. Malta is a beautiful little island north of Libya. Centuries ago Malta was also a safe haven for the Saint John Hospitallers now known as the Knights Hospitallers of the Order of Saint John, Knights of Malta.
A Mediterranean island all white and sunny ...... thank you Malta for allowing those Libyan planes to land therefore saving the people of Tripoli from bombs and/or gunfire.
I see a statue of Saint James and I cannot resist photographing it, his statue or a yellow arrow remind me that I am a pilgrim.
