Valletta day 4

So this was the Historic Sites Visit day - we a vengeance!
We signed up for trips to 'The saluting Battery' at Valletta, which is just below the gardens we had already found. Interesting, and we were there to witness at first hand the firing of the noon day gun.
Then on the minibus to the malta at War museum, here we watched a film of Malta GC (george vross) for the ingnorant amongst you and then were conducted around the tunnels all dug out by hand in the very early days of the war as shelters, mainly by women as the men were away at war.
Finally on to Fort Rinella with the only surviving 100 ton gun. This was one of a very few made in the late 1800 and as for all of them was never actually fired in anger!
All the sites are supported by volunteers, and staffed by young men pretending to be soldiers - they did a good job.

A very interesting day, but we are now brain damaged - too much information.
Swordfish promised for our evening meal.
