Walking past the Parliament building we spotted a free art exhibition and being keen followers of the art world, especially if it is free, we went through the security checks to have a look. It featured the work of a Maltese artist called Mario Zammit-Lewis. In the street art exhibition we visited last Sunday there was a banner saying "Are there more naked women than women artists in museums?" - very true, this exhibition had a lot of naked women.  I did not think much of the pictures and had just shared my opinion with Gill, probably in a loud voice, when the chap beside us introduced himself, he is the artist!  He then gave us a tour of his pictures (rather a lot of them) and kept proudly telling us those which had won awards in various countries around the world.  Personally I would not like any of them on my wall, even those which do not show naked women.

Having then walked around the fortifications defending the city we took advantage of a Vertical Connection Project which was 85% funded by the EU, it is a lift, it saves you climbing the steps back into the city.  It did take us to an excellent vantage point from where the picture at the top of the page was taken. 

Tomorrow, if all goes to plan, we are catching a ferry across to the island of Gozo.  It only cost €4.50 each so I am a little concerned that we might have the wrong tickets, goodness knows where we will end up.
