Nice sleep in this morning, a chance to read and get sorted and plan ahead for Tuscany in 2 days.
Did go shopping in Sliema – a nice lunch on the waterfront and home for seista like all good locals. Again very hot so the air conditioning is much appreciated at that time of day and our beach plans were shelved. Not a lot of shade on beaches but can hire a lounger and umbrella in some areas. The beaches here are mainly rocky as coastline is quite rugged. There are a few beaches with smallish areas of golden sand – also saw a nice smooth rock beach today on Sliema waterfront – you find a patch with the right elevated head/foot rest (both if you are lucky) and away you go.
The water as always is a deep clear blue and many people seem brown and sunbaked – tourists obviously less so than the locals! We are keeping plenty of sunblock on.
The local buses here are rather cute and quaint – orange and yellow, Leylands and the like – some with lots of polished chrome- trying to find the best example to photograph now.
