We settle in and gradually the clouds begin to break up. We're not talking clear blue skies but enough to give us a teaser of what to expect. A small glass of red improves matters and I can see thisЧитать далее

It's still dark when I emerge onto the terrace with my coffee. It's also raining and seems cloudy so it doesn't look as if the depression has moved off just yet. As it lightens up, the rain stops butЧитать далее

As we leave the ferry in the rain I spot a sign for a free exhibition, "Fort Builders" so we duck in there. It's a detailed and interesting exhibition about the development of the fortifications ofЧитать далее

We wait and wait for the 202 bus to Mdina. Finally it comes round the corner but it's full and doesn't stop for us... Just great. And the next bus isn't for another hour so we have to call a taxi,Читать далее
