Valletta, Gozo and other cities
... and gorgeous backdrop of churches and apartments. It started getting dark as it was quite overcast and started raining. We ducked into a cafe to get a drink and then continued to explore this gorgeous town with lots of beautiful streets. (no pics). Unfortunately it was now getting dark so we made our way to bus stop to get back to Valletta. We went searching for the Rubino restaurant in the pouring rain. With no brolly we ended up like drowned ...

... did not surrender. The fact that Malta survived is impressive. The siege lasted two and a half years (the Blitz was about eight months). In that period of time there were 3 340 air raids with an average of 170 enemy aircraft flying over every day.
