    Beautiful Valletta 😍 This particular area is one of my favourite places to mooch about and explore. I especially love the steps just outside the Harbour Hotel leading to the Upper Barrakka Gardens. Have many photos of this street 🥰 It’s a shame they are removing the steps higher up. The story of the lady and two sailors was very interesting, not heard that before. I love a bit traditional folklore . Thanks again Steve 👍🏼

    Hi Steve, another great video. With that heat and climbing up all those steps you deserve a medal. That flag you saw wasn't the Irish flag it was the Royal Standard, that means Her Majesty was in residence in that property so you could have popped in for a bottle of water and to pick up the medal you richly deserve for doing that video. That was interesting about those two sailors and the lady. Stay safe.

Your videos are helping with my research, as I'm putting info as subtitles at the bottom of the footage. I've never been to Malta before, but as luck would have it - I'm getting married next month and Malta is on our safe list of travel, so we're coming over for our honeymoon! I feel like I know the place pretty well already thanks to UA-cam and the research I've been doing :) Are you using a GoPro MAX, by the way? I've got one but not tried this type of editing yet.

    In 2019 I started to bring a bottle or two of water, and a bottle of orange gatorade or a bottle of juice with me when I am in Malta, the hotter the day, and the longer the day the more likely I am to bring two bottles of water. The orange gatorade manufactured in Italy is higher quilty than the American version. They also have some very good juice in Malta.
    Valletta is an expensive place to live, maybe some day I'd rent a hotel there for a few days yet to live there I'd have to have a lot more money than I have. It sure would be nice though, especially on a not noisy street.
