We visited the Church on an excursion around Malta, during which we visited many other interesting places.

This Church is truly awesome. As soon as I walked in the door my jaw dropped, I was completely in awe of it. The outside is particularly spectacular by itself, I really had no idea how incredible the inside was going to be.

This is the last post in the Gozo series. We’re back in Malta after this one! I’m about half way through the Malta photos now, I’m working on some way of collecting them all together in order and organising them as a story.

This post contains probably my favourite photos from Gozo. I really enjoyed the boat trip, Kerry wasn’t too sure to start with but she changed her mind when pretty much everyone else on the excursion went for it! Luckily the sea was super amazingly calm – like floating on a pond so we didn’t get drenched

Gozo is a truly beautiful island, I’m certain that it’s slightly hotter than Malta; when we were there it was boiling. I’m pretty sure we’ll go back one day.

Malta – Valletta Market

Welcome to the second post in the series from my holiday in Malta. This post contains images from the market in Valletta, Malta’s capital city.

It was very hot in Valletta so we didn’t stay for too long, as we walked back to the bus terminus we noticed the market and decided to have a quick look around.

Malta – Valletta

Church in Valletta

I framed this shot with a bystander's arm

The old signs around the city are from another era

Way in the background is what appears to be a statue of Poseidon - Grandmaster's Palace

I love the vintage feel of this image - an MG B Roadster drives past in Valletta

Kerry and I escape from the heat for a moment

The previous post was really just a taste of what’s to come over the next couple of weeks. I have so many photos from Malta that I want to share on here.

All of the shots in this post are from our day trip to Valletta. We didn’t quite stay for the whole day as it was seriously hot and I wasn’t looking forward to the crazy bus journey back to the hotel. Looking back I think we should have explored a bit more as it was a really interesting city.
