Valletta is the capital city and main port of Malta. We are staying at the Royal Malta Yacht Club as befits our station. Valletta is a very historic place full of old fortifications and other grand buildings. Google "the great siege of Malta 1565" to get the full story. Lots and lots of churches. Apparently one church for every 1000 people. There have been fireworks every night we have been here. During the day ones that specialise in making a very loud bang and at night the more familiar light show variety. This is one if the famous forts from the great siege (have you done your homework yet?) We caught the little tourist train to see the sights. One always looks very cool riding around in these things. In the evenings all the locals come down to the harbour and sit around in groups and eat and talk. We have seen this everywhere, also on Gozo. So we did it too. A very pleasant social way to spend an evening, better than shut inside watching the telly.
