February 3, 2024,🇲🇹: Valetta, Stadtbummel vor Rückflug

Drove to Valetta and did a bit of sightseeing before the return flight took off in the evening. Magical alleys and monuments, lots of steps and sun. It was really fun again - even with the big backpack and despite the many tourists.

After landing by ferry from the Three Cities, we drove through the old town of Valletta. Then, again by ferry, we continued on to Sliema.

Top city tour... from the destination we went to the rock hike and back. Unfortunately, the battery for the 2nd city tour was empty. That was a mere 3km at 40 degrees, which was still great 🇲🇹👍✅💯
