After looking at 7 different places, the eighth place was a charm 2 bedrooms, one bath. No stairs. 100 yards from the ocean and an easy walk to dozens of stores and cafes. There is no picture of the living room here because the current tenants stuff was piled there. This is the view from…

After we posted earlier today, we went out for a drink at the Indigo Hotel rooftop… Nice view! First we admired the doorway… On closer inspection – it is good to know that we can get this sort of help in Valletta! This photo and the ones that follow take you from the street into…

Last night we settled into a small family boutique hotel in the heart of Valletta – Casa Asti. It was a lovely evening for a stroll and dinner at a nearby restaurant. Today was a quiet day – morning walks around Valletta and lunch with friends. The garden is inside a 400 year old convent…
