(www.piwigo.com - a vintage Maltese bus)


To Valletta, the capital. Somewhat accidentally as the bus we are on changes route number along the way and heads there. Which is fine as we have week passes. Many changes here too. There are still buses just outside the city walls, though not the old ones, of course. They were smaller and they weren't airconditioned, but they had personality, individually owned and operated and customised by the owners.

The buses aren't all that's changed. The tunnel type entrance through the city walls has been opened up to the skies and a new parliament building is being constructed just inside the city gate. We're not here for long - well, long enough for a coffee - today, but we'll be back.
