Here's some pics from my vacation. Can you guess where I was? (the two of you on my FB feed may know already)...I've dropped a few hints, though these pics were taken with Languish in mind. Those who indulge and stick to the end will be rewarded. ;)

PS. Photobucket has become annoying since I last used it.

Malta is a tremendous place for a holiday  :thumbsup: :cool:

Let's see...

Sardinia? Cyprus? Crete? Corsica? Majorca? Elba?

I got it from the second pic, the gateway to the old bit of Mdina if I'm not mistaken. I also have a photo of it somewhere in the archives.

Yes I know I was kidding. Nobody who has played a Paradox game would be unable to identify the flag of Malta :P

I guessed from the fort but then the letter to the governor of Malta made it very clear. :D

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

How'd you manage the 'reward' pic?  Long zoom-lens?  Ask for permission first?

Got any more?
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.
