We have left Crete today,  on our way to Malta.  It was a full travel day.   We flew to Athens about noon and then had a 5 hour layover there before our flight to Malta.  Our arrival was a bit rocky as the BOLT driver ( a EU version like UBER) went past our place,  down a long hill and left us!  Poor Emmett dragged out bags up the hill and then, when we finally found the apartment, he had to carry them up 2 flights of stairs!  But we are here.   Tomorrow we explore Valletta on foot.   It’s a very hilly place, so we will get out steps in tomorrow! 

Here is the inside of our little apartment.   And the view.  Tomorrow i will take note pics of the outside.   We have 2 of the iconic windowed balconies the Valletta is known for.

And the view

From the outside  our apartment is on the 2nd floor, or to us Americans, the 1 up 2 flights of stairs.   It is the lowest one with all blue balcony and shutters,  on the corner of the building.  We are right on Independence square,  with a park-like space,  and a couple iconic features from the English rule days

We visited the inside of the church behind our building too, in the morning

One more interesting little feature in our apartment,  the ‘fireplace’
