Mdina, Rabat, and Dingli

Visited the National Museum of Archaeology in Valletta primarily to see the original and lovely "Sleeping Lady" prehistoric figurine, which was discovered in the Hal Saflieni Hypogeum. I put my phone right up to the glass for this photo.



A nice miniature of the Hal Saflieni Hypogeum.









Some photos I took while exploring Valletta.



I took these photos while climbing on Fort St Elmo.










Explored the 12th century city of Mdina, the former capital of Malta, a city I found neither funky nor cold. As I wandered through the tangled and curved streets, there were times when almost no trace of modern life was apparent.

I also walked through the towns of Rabat and Dingli today, and hiked all the way out to and around the impressive Dingli Cliffs. In Rabat I toured St. Agatha's Catacombs. which was pretty interesting: the guide was an actual archaeologist involved in the preservation of the site.

At the Dingli Cliffs I also saw the lonely Chapel of St Mary Magdalene perched on the edge.

Unfortunately, my iPhone4 choked and failed to capture my Mdina, Rabat, and Dingli photos. But I do have my memories.
