| Valletta |
With the end of our trip looming, there’s just one last opportunity to savour all those wonderful Maltese delights. Those delicious local biscuits, pastizzis or rabbit spaghetti – yes, cute little bunnies are a staple on restaurant menus. Yum!

| Scrummy Maltese biscuits |
One last ferry trip, this time across the harbour to Sliema. My advice; don’t bother unless you like sleazy looking seafront pubs that offer an all-day-long happy hour.

| Sliema waterfront |
Sliema is like a Maltese Magaluf. And any place that has a shopping mall where you have to pay 1 euro to spend a penny is definitely not on my ‘must see’ list. Been there, didn’t like it.
Back in Valletta…
OMG! Is that what I think it is?
 |
| At last - the Maltese Falcon |
Looks like a golden falcon perched on top of a very long pole. No wonder, we couldn’t find it as you rarely look up when sightseeing. I can now tick Maltese Falcon off my grockle list.
Time to re-visit Café Cordina (Republic Street) for one more decadently gorgeous cake. This beautiful café is top of my Valletta ‘go to’ list as their interior is lovely and their cakes are to die for.

And now it’s back to packing up suitcases ready for that crack of dawn flight back to Blighty. Anything to declare? A case full of tacky fridge magnets, nougat bars, dirty looking suntan and an expanded waistline.
