Just discovered my following your blog had “stopped”! Same with some others last month. Refollowed again! Off on a cruise next week stopping for a day at Valletta, plan on a simple walls walk and local lunch maybe. Any tips
It happens to me all the time, have to keep my eye on the follow list in case someone disappears unexpectedly.
There is a great deal to do in Valletta in a short space of time. I recommend the north east end of Republic Street close to the fortress because this is where the local people live and eat. I would say visit St John’s co-cathedral, avoid Repblic Street near the bus station (south west end) because it is insanely busy there and there are too many boutique type shops (unless you like shopping of course). We always lunch at a scruffy little place just down from the Harbour Club where pavement tables overlook the harbour.
I wish that I was going with you, where else will your cruise take you?
Ports in sequence, I think, Cadiz, Gibraltar, Cagliari, Valletta, Catania, Naples, La Spezia, Toulon, Barcelona, Valencia, Southampton. Total of 18 nights and a few places we’ve not seen before such as Pompeii, Heraklion and ancient Syracuse.
Sounds like a good trip. Pompeii is wonderful but needs a lot of time, you might consider nearby Herculaneum, better in my opinion and not nearly so busy!
Watch out for the Catalan separatists in Barcelona!
Sorry, typo re one of the trips! On our Naples day taking the wife for a quick look at Pompeii in the morning, then dropping her off back at the ship and I’m taking a tour of Herculaneum (no auto corrected this time). And …… we Brexiteers are welcome in Barcelona, hope to meet up with a couple of Instagram friends there
My goodness the skies look they are exploding with beauty.

Well, it was worth it. But don’t go to too much trouble if it kills you.
