Saturday, August 18 - More of the North Tour







Here's Medina, the original capital of Valletta....built inland and on a high point of the island so they could watch out for pirates (yes pirates!)  --- I mean really...although not quite, this city is almost older than dirt !







.







It was a national holiday, the day of this tour.  Strange thing about holidays here is that many Maltese don't know what the holiday IS --- but they sure know there is one cause no one does anything!  Tourist attractions, transportation and restaurants are open...that's about it!  Shops, malls, businesses...all closed up tighter than a face lift !


So on we go as we leave town (no I don't remember which town it was) and move on......

Hi ho Silver --- Away !!!!!  (probably most don't remember that either!)


be back with more soon
