Malta, April 2009 - Valletta and the Three Cities

My first day solo. I walked over to the Sliema docks and took the ferry over to Valletta. I walked to the Upper Barrakka Gardens to purchase tickets for the three tours; Saluting Battery, Malta at War Museum and Ft. Rinella. It was raining the entire day but I made the best of it. The only disappointment was the War Museum, I was expecting a lot more. The firing of the canons was impressive. Moreover, the 100-Ton canon at Ft. Rinella blew me away. I took the ferry back to Sliema and had dinner at Tex-Mex. It was much better this time since I knew it was not real Mexican food. Headed back to the hotel and took it easy the rest of the night.
