Malta nostalgia

Posted by Hippobean at 3:50 PM
The Grand Harbour of Valletta, Fort St Angelo, the enormous bastions ... reminisced about a time long ago, the 3 of us, in the Upper Barrakka Gardens, the view of the Grand Harbour, the bastions ... tonight, full moon, forts and bastions illuminated ... remembering.

3AM - cruise ship slowly gliding into the harbour. All quiet, not a sound. Such a memorable moment.

The Grand Harbour cruise, passing by the bastions, into the creeks, close by the forts

Quaint backstreets of Vittoriosa, colorful Maltese doors and traditional balconies

Ferry to Gozo, passing by Comino, views of the islands, cool breeze in the late summer heat

Marsalforn in the evenings, happy noise and movements below on the waterfront, tender quiet above on the balcony, houses and waterfront lighted, the Mediterranean lapping on the rocky shores of the bay, dark sea beyond ... distant sounds of merriment ... oh Marsalforn stays with me always

Most delicious wine tasting, white and red went down smooth, excellent platter of hors d'oeuvre that paired the wines perfectly, surrounded by magnificent views of the sea and island ... questo amore

With the sun setting, catching a bus back to Marsalforn with happy head filled with good wine

A pair of wings ... it's just the wings
