I think I may have walked along this street. Malta took a terrible beating during the war, and some parts of it haven't fully recovered. We went in October about 3 years ago, and I found it far too hot.
Thanks a lot, Amelia! Yes, the Maltese had a very hard time of the war, spending their days in underground tunnels and nearly starving... If the catacombs in Rabat are anything to go by, it must have been very damp underground.
In April 16 it was also unseasonably hot and humid whereas on my first visit April was really nice.
I really like these weather beaten and tired looking balconies.............and I also like the colour and tones of the stonework. The light is quite lovely too.
To be honest they've been like this for a long time............this is how I remember them from the early 70s.
Wow Gudrun, what an impressive image ... how beautiful they must have been prior to the war. So many stories they could tell. Makes me think how comfortable those balconies must have been in cool weather, sitting with a glass of wine and watching the world go by.
