A short bus ride and we are in Valletta where white statues seem to be the order of the day
Other types as well
But mainly white
Some quite unusual
Typical street in old Valletta
Stretching down to the sea
Every town should have one
Bit of history
And another white statue
The law courts - I think
We catch sight of Ron coming out of M&S - has he taken his pyjamas back?
Outside the Grand Masters' Palace
One of its decorated ceilings
And a state apartment
Another state apartment
Into the Armoury
A cavalry officer
One of the men at arms
And guns of all shapes and sizes
The courtyard is colourful
There are palms
Ros being brave
Another side street
Inside the church of St Paul's Shipwreck
Doing what we do best
We start making our way back to the ferry to cross the bay
Past tenements of old houses
Skyline of Valletta
And looking across to the newer part of town
Grey hair - is that me?
Some of Valletta's old fortifications
And more terraces of houses
A reminder of Malta's part in the war
The ferry arrives
View from the ferry as we cross the bay
Safely on the other side
We start walking back
To our hotel.
