    What a Spectacular Huge Building

    Oh wow Steve! You made me very very happy with this video! I love Paola and have stayed there at my cousins place many times when Ive visited. That building all lit up is the local Band Club, and the church Christ the King is now actually a Basilica.It is so magnificent, and I have been to many masses there when I was there. Just seeing the street and all the shops! So many cherished memories for me.Thank you so very much for all your Christmas videos and especially this one. Hearing those Church bells brought a tear to my eyes for sure. I just wanted to wish you a very Happy New Year and all the very best.Take care from Frida Sydney Australia.

    Paola a lovely town. As usual the churches are beautiful. There is something appealing (no pun intended) about church bells. I could just sit there and listen forever. Now Steve, no more nonsense about retiring. What would we all do without you?. I am sure your videos lift a lot of people's spirits during these difficult times. 🙏👍😇

    Really enjoyed the video Steve , i often go on the Skyline webcams and look at Paola , they have two , the one looks at the church , it was lovely to go inside , and the other looks up towards the traffic lights , it is always interesting watching the people going about their business and the traffic is crazy just missing each other. Take care Steve 👣

    Cor Steve, that church is a whopper. Good to see the works have been completed outside. The last few times I was there passing through on the bus it was a bit of a building site and the traffic was appalling, even by Maltese standards. Have a great New Year and see you in 2021. It has to be a better year surely.
