The 1980 Popeye movie with Robin Williams was filmed here in Malta. They had to build the whole city and now it is a tourist attraction. Popeye, Olive Oyl and Bluto were here. Ryan downloaded the music from the movie created by Harry Nilsson and we sing it all the time.
We then took a ferry to Gozo and went to Ggantija (meaning Giantess) which is a multi stone temple older than the pyramids of Egypt or more than 5500 years ago. It is the second oldest existing manmade religious structure second to one in Turkey. The temples are elements of a ceremonial site for fertility.
Then we went to the spot of the iconic Azure window (famous arch) that unfortunately collapsed two years earlier. The Mediterranean Sea was still beautiful with big crashing waves.
