Journey to Valleta :)

Hello lovelies!

Today,I finally made it to Valleta! I did not find what I was supposed to find, but I still had tons of fun! My post will show you a little bit of my journey to Valleta!

This cute ferry took me across the bay from Sliema to Valleta. It was really neat and the ocean breeze sitting on the top floor felt so nice, especially because of the heat. It was also a super fast ferry ride.

After landing in Valleta, a horse-drawn carriage tour was the way to go!!! :) It felt awesome to be in a carriage and made me think of how it must have been like when it was the main form of travel. It also made taking pictures of beautiful sites in Valleta really easy!

The next item on the list is what at first I thought might be a prison and boy was I off! It is a fortress that is currently being renovated, but it is going to be kept as a fortress. I love that they are keeping it as what it was. It is a part of history that they are keeping, which is profound. 

This picture is of St. Elmo's fortress! I thought it was stunning. In the bottom right corner, it is a stone covering a hole. The holes used to be where grains were grown, isn't that neat? I love the history that I keep coming across here in Malta.

Last picture for the evening! This bell tower is a memorial for those who died during World War II. Malta played a very important role preventing the capture of the Mediterranean. It rings every day. 

That is all I have for you today. I fall more in love with this place everyday from the older architecture to the ocean to the history.
