<div id="ygrps-yiv-1095324195">youre welcome <br/>
<br/>
& i was also excited for you to learn just now that malta is divided into 3 major parts or <br/>
regions<br/>
since that would theoretically mean you could nail the whole country at the highest level <br/>
with a single tripoint visit<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
but there is as yet no evidence of the existence of any such grand tripoint of malta<br/>
<br/>
& even if one really existed <br/>
it would most probably not fall on dry land anyway<br/>
since one of the 3 regions is comprised of gozo & all the other out islands<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
so i would say to just take those 3 days off<br/>
or else spend 1 in each region<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
however<br/>
if you should want the exercise or anything<br/>
there must be an interregional border somewhere on the island of malta<br/>
running most probably at least somewhere around the greater valletta area<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
& if you really got stir crazy<br/>
then there are always the 68 localities or municipalities<br/>
& it is highly likely that at least some of them must meet somewhere<br/>
<br/>
so at least some grand order of maltipointing should still be possible <br/>
if not downright easy<br/>
<br/>
like say <br/>
all the municipal tripoints on the interregional boundary in a row<br/>
<br/>
might only be a few <br/>
but what a precious garter or chain they would make<br/>

&gt; Before going to Yugoslavia (i.e. this coming Sunday),<br/>
&gt; I will also be going to Malta for three days; there I<br/>
&gt; hope to be able to visit the upper part of Fort<br/>
&gt; Sant&#39;Angelo (which was leased to the Order of Malta,<br/>
&gt; with certain &#39;extraterritorial rights&#39;, for a period<br/>
&gt; of 99 years)...<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; ...and also, hopefully, the embassy of the Order of<br/>
&gt; Malta to the Republic of Malta, which is in St John&#39;s<br/>
&gt; Cavalier in Valletta.<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; Any other tips re territorial/geopolitical oddities in<br/>
&gt; Malta???<br/>
