Well here we are half way through the holiday and yet to take a bus! So today we went to the bus terminus - a large roundabout surrounded by bus stands and found a bus to Mdina. The buses all seem to be single deckers cast off from early britsh fleets of around the 50s. The bus we took went down the main road towards Mdina, and then diverted around Rabat and the surrounded villages before returning to Mdina. Traversing some alarming bumpy and narrow side roads on the way. I'll try to put a link here to a Google earth path to show what I mean (it will have to wait till I return to the UK, this laptop hasn't got the required software).
And so we explored 'The Historic Citadel of Mdina'. Another Cathedral - 'co' to Valletta, this one the Cathedral of St Paul. Had a snack lunch sat up on the bastions overlooking the surrounding countryside - which showed why Mdina was built were it was. The highest point around.
The final photos are back in Valletta, we were drinking coffee trying to make out what the thing on the wall was when this cute little girl started to look all around with the reveresed binoculars.
