Mdina.

[luckykaa]

Had a morning chilling in the pool and hot tub before heading out to sightsee.

Visiting Another walled city.  This one on the mainland. Mdina - Pronounced Em-dina or possibly Mmm-dina rather than Madina.

Started with a tour on one of those little trains. flickums was disappointed it wasn't a real train. We  were bounced along Malta's dishevelled roads as a recorded voice pointed out the things to look at. Gave a nice overview of what we want to look at later. Also showed that the city itself was just behind us.

It's a nice city to explore. Lots of narrow streets and passageways, apparently to thwart knights and archers.

Had a look at St Paul's cathedral. Were about to pay for tickets to get in (Flick was, I'm less willing to pay just for a church) but apparently entry was free two minutes later so we waited.

Thought we should see something else before everything closes so bought tickets for the audio - visual tours. We bought the triple ticket, in part because I was a bit confused about what we were buying.

First shiw was in another buikding, so we started off with an escort mission where we followed someone to the first venue. The show was a series of static displays about knights. Each segment  has an audio description. Then the tour abruptly ended.

Second escort mission took us to a display of life in Malta in historic times. No audio stuff here. Just signs explaining stuff. Seemed to end before it really started.

Finally it was "The Mdina Experience - audio visual spectacular", or "Movie"... still, it was an interesting documentary, and well worth the money to sit down in an air conditioned room

Found a lovely place for foods. They had wifi I had  delicious steak, Flickums had a burger and we ended with chocolate mousse.
