Day 64 - Drenched

We caught the ferry from our side of the bay in Silema to the beautiful old city of Valleta and followed the other tourists to the centre of the old town. We then walked down to the water's edge to Fort St Elmo and the War Siege memorial, all built from solid standstone.

 By the time we reached the Upper Barrakka gardens we could see very dark storm clouds gathering. We started hurrying back to the ferry port but ended up getting caught in a torrential downpour. We didn't have anything in the way of rain protection so we took shelter in a doorway. The rain eased slightly so we made a run for it, but still ended up drenched.

When we finally made it back across the bay the roads were flooded, so we waded through ankle deep water to our apartment to dry off.
