Malta Day 4

Day started again with a session in gym: walking up hills and running. Stretching.

Swimming in the outdoor pool.

After breakfast walked in Valletta to see the old town. Started to walk along Republic Street, the pedestrian shopping street, to Fort St Elmo. Saw Siege Bell, visited to Lower and Upper Barrakka Gardens. Went also down to the Waterfront next to the harbour with giant cruise liners.
