I got out of the flip flops area of San Giljan and toured Valletta, the current capital that was built in the 16th century, then onto Mdina, a walled city that served as the location for King’s Landing in Game Of Thrones in season one.
Though a European country, it’s Elian Gonzalez close to Libya, further south than Tunisia. The culture is all about the party, not unlike New Orleans, but unfortunately, many of the historical buildings have given way to casinos or restaurants or razed in favor of new construction.
Mdina has kept it together and while I wasn’t chased through the narrow streets by shirtless cannibals with jagged tin instruments, I couldn’t help thinking about poor Sebastian.
Tomorrow I’m off to Gozo, the other island of this country. There’s a festival of some sort, so I’m gonna go be, well, festive.
