Malta&#8217;s architecture spans centuries, influences, and styles. The island nation has been occupied by the Phoenicians, Arabs, Romans, Normans, French, and British. They each brought their own religion, food, language, and government. This rich history was one of the things that attracted me to Malta.<\/p>\n<p>This afternoon we took a tour of The Three Cities of\u00a0Birgu\/Vittoriosa, Isla\/Senglea, and Bormla. We took a private water taxi for 4 euro from Valletta across the harbor. The 2.5 hour tour was with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rolling-geeks.com\/\">Rolling Geeks<\/a>, from whom we rented an electric car. The car has a pre-programmed GPS that guided us where to go.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1535\" style=\"width: 560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/globaladventurestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/DSC09597-e1543007741634.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1535\" class=\"wp-image-1535\" src=\"https:\/\/globaladventurestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/DSC09597-e1543007741634-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"733\" srcset=\"https:\/\/globaladventurestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/DSC09597-e1543007741634-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/globaladventurestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/DSC09597-e1543007741634-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/globaladventurestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/DSC09597-e1543007741634.jpg 1944w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1535\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lower Barrakka Garden<\/dd>\n<dd><\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_1536\" style=\"width: 560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/globaladventurestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/DSC09591-e1543007919180.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1536\" class=\"wp-image-1536\" src=\"https:\/\/globaladventurestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/DSC09591-e1543007919180-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"733\" srcset=\"https:\/\/globaladventurestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/DSC09591-e1543007919180-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/globaladventurestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/DSC09591-e1543007919180-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/globaladventurestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/DSC09591-e1543007919180.jpg 1944w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1536\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Valletta<\/dd>\n<dd><\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_1537\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/globaladventurestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/DSC09600.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1537\" class=\"wp-image-1537\" src=\"https:\/\/globaladventurestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/DSC09600-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" srcset=\"https:\/\/globaladventurestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/DSC09600-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/globaladventurestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/DSC09600-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/globaladventurestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/DSC09600-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1537\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lower Barrakka Gardens and enclosed balconies in Valletta<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_1538\" style=\"width: 677px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/globaladventurestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/DSC09620.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1538\" class=\"wp-image-1538\" src=\"https:\/\/globaladventurestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/DSC09620-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"667\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/globaladventurestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/DSC09620-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/globaladventurestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/DSC09620-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/globaladventurestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/DSC09620-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 667px) 100vw, 667px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1538\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">View from water taxi crossing Valletta&#8217;s Grand Harbour<\/dd>\n<dd><\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_1539\" style=\"width: 760px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/globaladventurestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/DSC09623.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1539\" class=\"wp-image-1539\" src=\"https:\/\/globaladventurestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/DSC09623-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"563\" srcset=\"https:\/\/globaladventurestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/DSC09623-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/globaladventurestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/DSC09623-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/globaladventurestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/DSC09623-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1539\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cemetery in The Three Cities<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This morning we took a walking tour of Valletta, Malta&#8217;s capital.
