Malta isn’t all quiet landscapes and small towns – these cranes, which were littered across the island, were gigantic! This is taken from across the main docks in Valletta; I tried catching a ferry from there to Sicily to finish off the holiday on this morning but alas I missed it by about 2 hours

Velatta Bay is a fortified peninsula on the east coast of Malta – from it’s walls you can see out into the Mediterranean Sea at all angles (eh except when looking at Malta). It was from these docks below that getting from Sliema to Valetta was just a quick skip across the bay.

OK time to start posting some colourful Malta pics! Here’s one from my first day there – it’s taken from one of the corners of Valetta: a fort city and also Malta’s capital. I hadn’t taken my tripod with me on the first day as we didn’t know what we were doing that first evening but the whole place is surrounded by low walls that work just fine as a stand in one.
Did you know that Valetta was on of the first (or even first!) city to be built using a grid pattern to outline its streets?? Oooooooh!
