Today we set out early and drove up the steep road to the Red Tower. There were panoramic views over to the islands of Gozo and Comino and towards Mellieha (where we are staying)

We then travelled to see Mdina. It is a walled town on top of a hillside commanding views from all sides. It is steeped in history and there were many photo opportunities.

Mdina is famous for its glass blowing and there were small shops selling glass and jewellery. We really enjoyed wandering around this town and hope to have time to return.
