Valletta day 2

Started the day with a fire alarm! Got dressed grabbed valuables rushed to fire exit (front door) only to be met with the night portrt saying 'no problem' something in the bar had overheated, it was all smoke and no flames, so we could go back to bed. Good job too as not many people had taken notice in the first place!
After that we walked down a very hilly road where the pavement was a series of stone steps, very tiring and someone complained it hurt her ankles.
We went to 'The Malta Experience' and watched a film about the history of Malta, basically a tiny rock in the middle of the trade routes which over the course of 3000 years everyone wanted, and got, apart from the Germans who failed.
Walked around a bit and found the Upper Barracca Gardens" ? A great place to sit and watch across the harbour. Plenty of sun and coffee and drinks on hand - what more could we ask?
Spent the evening in the Hotel Bar....
