My story continues with a bit more adventure last night.
We headed back into Valletta with Lesley in the evening – dark by 6pm!
Up in the lift, after another Ferry ride, looking back at Three Cities under light. Warm pleasant evening.
In the last eight years I have stayed in Malta four times and not once have I been to Valletta at night. This is a must do. It is a lot quieter and the buildings are subtlety lit up.
From the Barrakka gardens looking out to the harbour entrance, from which Lesley will soon be sailing.
The fountain in the gardens
Walking towards the outdoor theatre, which was once a beautiful building bombed in WWII
The outside remains of the original theatre still encase the new one.
St Johns Co-Cathedral under lights!
Last ferry leaving to take us to our side of the Harbour at 7.15pm, time to bid Lesley bon voyage and head home after a fantastic day.
This morning was relaxed! And a lunch was planned, with cousins, at Birgu waterfront. The day calm and sunny!
We walked the 20 minutes to the gate, by which time the sweater was discarded! (And this was downhill)
A great three hour catch up with these beautiful people!
Russ getting his history lesson from Lino
Marcella, Sue, Jacqueline and Steven (the rose!)
And the girls! The lunch was great too!
Time for the visitors to head north on their bikes…
Great day for a ride! Felt a little jealous as we were on shanks pony (feet), up hill this time!
Bormla, with the American University across the inlet, looking very lush!
And after all the rain, the fountains are all out in force. The Three Cities are very picturesque in November!
This time of the year in Malta is beautiful, still warm with lots of sunshine and green areas. But especially the peace of uncrowded spaces! It will be very sad to leave (but not for a wee while yet)
All who wander are not Lost girls
