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.

I’m having so much trouble choosing photos to put up on here – I’ve got way too many that I want to share from this trip. This is the first post of three from our 1 day excursion to Gozo.. Yeah I took a lot of photos in Gozo!

This is the first of 2 excursions that we went on with our tour operator, we got to see loads of places that we wouldn’t have done if we were just driving around.

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.

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.

Malta – One shot, many more to come…

Strait Street - Valletta

I’ve finally managed to find the time to begin sorting through and editing my holiday photos from last month. I took almost a thousand shots in 10 days so it’s a pretty big task to go through and edit them all!

Anyway, here’s the first shot I’ve uploaded from our fantastic holiday in Malta. This is a photograph of Strait Street in Malta’s capital, Valetta.

“Running almost right through the centre for the entire length of Valletta (from South West to North East) is Strait Street. This has been the most “infamous” street in Valletta almost for as long as it has existed. It was once the place where the knights came to duel and later became the red light district. It still looks rather more squalid then the other streets of Valletta – in fact it is a street that looks very much like a “back street”, despite its great length. It is filled with very dubious looking bars, cafes etc” – From Virtualtourist.com
