This morning was chilly by Malta standards 20 degrees Celsius – tights and a sweater rather than shorts and a singlet.
A small bit of retail therapy and off to the charity shop to donate all Kevin’s unwanted clothes!
Then a drive back to Senglea to hunt for a coffee – waterfront deserted and we soon realised why….
The wind was almost gale force blowing into the grand harbour, boats were rocking on their moorings and three kiwis had trouble staying upright
Sitting on the Seawall in between the waves rolling in
Last week Trudi and Sue were swimming here in the mirror like water – not today we’d drown!
A couple of locals trying to secure their Luzzu on its moorings – and this was on the sheltered side!
We then noticed that the marina in Vittoriosa had filled up and was sheltering lots of new boats from the storm so off we went to walk the wharves – the big boys were in town…
Silver is the new black
This beautiful old girl
The crowded neighbourhood
A helicopter transport option
And the Big Boys toys option! Who knows what’s behind the roller door (it’s probably not Wally)
3x 400hp motors on the racing toy (we have one 150hp on our 21 footer back home)
And holding firm to the wharves! The 1200Hp machine in the background!
Then it was refreshment time
Almost out of the wind, apart from the intermittent gusts that almost lifted the umbrellas!
Having satisfied ourselves that the boats were weathering the storm, we dropped Russ back to the house and Trudi and Sue went off for their new nails (by appointment only!)
Girls on holiday – guess who’s who with the new nails!
Great day of our life in Malta – still waiting patiently for more beach weather!
All who wander are not Lost girls
