Saturday - Birgu

When we arrived in Malta we purchased a bus pass for the 7 days we were here. 😱😱😱 We bused into Birgu. Which is a city (suburb) next to the capital Valletta. What a mistake. By car, 22 mins, by bus, 1 hr 10 mins, and it was packed!!! Anyway, went for a walk around Birgu, then to Fort St Angelo, which was originally built in medieval times as a castle, then in 1530's as a fort. Got heavily bombed in WWII, however had been restored to its former glory. Spectacular views of Valletta. Had lunch at a waterfront cafe, which proved apt as it started bucketing down, then thunder and lightening - no photos as we were too busy running. We got an electrical thunder and lightening together right above our heads - I thought we were toast, literally!!! Bus home 😱😱😱, it was running late, packed, couldn't find our connection, finally did, sat behind 2 middle eastern lads, felt very intimidated by them! By car, 25 mins, by bus, who knows, was just glad to get off!!! (Probably 1 hr 30 mins) No more buses!!!!!Read more
