What could make Miche happier than a boat trip? Two boat trips!

Couple of pictures from the room - Fort Manoel...

Manoel Island Marina...

First boat trip... the ferry from Valletta to Sliema... passing Manoel Island...

Fort Manoel from sea level...

Miche feeling carefree with the wind in her hair...

Silhouetted view of Valletta...

City Walls and our hotel - top right...

Maltese Navy...

Site of the former anti-submarine boom...

Lower Barrakka Gardens...

Upper Barrakka Gardens - where the daily cannon salute takes place...

Birgu...

Elevator to the Upper Barrakka Gardens...

Timeless view out to sea...

Valletta has a boatyard to spruce up & repair super-yachts - these old tubs were getting a makeover...

I do like a crane dressed as a giraffe...

Again, this is a repair yard for cruise ships - this one had had a fire...

Another timeless view...

Looking back inland...

Valletta...

Harbour defences - the square turrets were built by the French...

Rusty remnant of the old bridge...

Heading back to Sliema...
