One of those end-of-year list things since they're all the rage.
Amongst some return trips elsewhere, and some new cities in countries we'd visited before, we managed to hit four completely new countries for us this year so I figured I'd share a photo from each of them because that's the sort of thing I do.
The first new country was Malta. An encounter with a xenophobic bar owner aside, we enjoyed the fortifications of Valletta.
