During the night we woke to hear the rain lashing, and considering we are in a closely built up area it had to be severe for us to hear it. In the morning it was still steadily raining so K decided to head for a hairdressers for a long over due tint while M went for a walk around the Sliema peninsula.
By the time we'd had lunch the rain had cleared to the point that we decided to brave a 90 minute harbour cruise that had very good reviews. From the boat we were able to see a totally different view of Malta and learn about its interesting fortress history. All around the various bays and points there are sandstone walls and fortresses, while the marinas in each bay are full of luxury boats along with local vessels. The tour was well worth it and gave us a better overview of the area that we would have had just sticking to the land.
We finished up with a walk to see the other side of Sliema that M had walked by earlier, it was more attractive than our side and had a great promenade along the coast with lots of swimming areas cut into the coastal sandstone, as well as some nice bars and restaurants.
