Calypso's Cave (Malta)

Okay...here's the guide book and me. Guide book: "Some are convinced that Gozo (the island next to Malta) is the island of Ogygia, described in Homer's famous poem 'The Odyssey' on which the beautiful nymph Calypso kept Odysseus as a 'prisoner of love' for seven long years. Calypso promised immortality to Odysseus if he would stay with her, but Odysseus rejected her and escaped to his faithful wife Penelope."


More guide book: "Although the cave's interior and exterior are not too impressive, [ME: Impressive???? Actually, it looks like a lot of other caves where teenages drink and party away from roaming eyes! And there were bats and other odd creatures. Let's just say these pictures were taken QUICKLY!]


Guide book again: "There is nevertheless a feeling of excitement for any visitor to stand on possibly one of the oldest and most famous historic spots in the world. [ME: Totally true. Regardless of if the legend is true or not, it was still so cool!!!!!!!!!]
