Continued from Part 1
Capital city was the agenda for the day! Since we had tried the bus route to Valletta the previous day, we decided to take the ferry. The Sliema ferry was a 10 minute walk away, and in 15 minutes we were on the Valletta side. A 15 minute walk along lovely cobblestone streets got us to the day’s first agenda – the St.John’s Co-Cathedral. A short queue and 10 euros (each) later, we were inside. A while later, when we passed the cathedral again, we realised we had gotten lucky with the queue, it was really long and extended way down the street. An early start, therefore, is a good idea.
The cathedral interior is the most magnificent I have seen. Excellent baroque style, and we wondered how they had managed to paint the ceiling in such detail. The audio guide ensures you are able to get the details quite easily.
