Our flight schedules worked perfectly and we arrived at our apartment in Sliema, Malta Thursday afternoon with few delays.
We’re very happy with our temporary home away from home. The apartment has plenty of space and a kitchen with everything needed to prepare meals if we want. We visited the local supermarket to stock up on a few supplies.
A round trip ferry ride between our home base Sliema and the capital city Valletta costs only 90 cents and takes about 10 minutes.
Here we are on the breezy ferry trip to Valletta today.
We went to Valletta this afternoon to get on overview of the city – we’ll return to see more over the next few days. On this trip, saw lovely gardens,
A view of the harbor,
And tasted a delicious date-filled pastry.
Thanks to a few wrong turns, we’ve logged in 18,719 steps so far today.
We think there will be plenty to see and much history to learn so we’ll stay busy next couple of weeks.
The sun is setting..
and it’s time for our first Maltese cocktail!
Cheers!
