Sicily, Catania & Taormina (Italy) The boat trip had worn out most of my fellow travellers who were now dreaming of sitting down. Later in the day in Taormina I saw many of them queued up in front of the chemists in order to buy pills against sea sickness. [ Stein Runar Bergheim, M. 6.Mon, […]
However unlikely it sounds Malta is actually one of the most densely populated countries in Europe with its two islands Gozo and Malta and their 386 649 citizens.
