Valletta – A Fortified City

Valletta is a city of fortifications.

I took these pictures as I walked in a loop from the bus station, past St. John’s Co Cathedral past Fort St. Elmo and then back along the road overlooking the Grand Harbour. I trhen took a lift to the Upper Barrakka Gardens for views of the Grand Harbour

Sadly the National War Museum in Fort St. Elmo is closed at the present time.

I will return to Valletta again.

Going Gluten-Free In Malta

I  know it’s a holiday area, but I had no problems being gluten-free in Malta.

Everybody seemed to be pretty clued-up and I even had very good gluten-free rolls for breakfast in the hotel.

Valletta’s Electric Taxis

I didn’t take a ride, but was intrigued by Valletta’s little electric taxis.

 

Certainly, it would be a good idea if in cities like London, all taxis were electric.
