We're staying inside the walls of Valletta, where everything is pretty close - we walked over to The Malta Experience to watch a 45-minute movie, covering the last 7,000 years of Maltese history! I had known that Malta was perfectly situated to be a huge power of the Mediterranean Sea, but this movie brought home to me just how many waves of settlers, colonists, and conquerors have made a life in Malta - it was a jolt to get all that in under an hour! We followed the movie with a short tour of the hospital, with its 500+ foot long ward - very advanced for medieval times.
We walked a bit around the headland, looking for an easy way down to the sea - no joy, but then we saw our bus! A quick hop on, and we had a ride to the Upper Barrakka elevator - which we took up! 🙂
To the gardens
After that, we caught the bus back to the apartment for a little rest before dinner at Legligin.
Dinner! Wow! It was fantastic! It was a tasting menu of Maltese specialties, along with paired wines (that was... A *lot*!).
