Malta - day 4: Mdina

Mdina is a tiny walled city in central Malta which once was the capital city. The city itself is pretty and except for the occasional parked car, seems almost to have been frozen in time. Its maze of narrow streets is tranquil and serene. We had our lunch in a cafe in Mdina where we were served by a waiter who displayed a degree of sullenness previously only experienced in teenagers which slightly spoiled what otherwise was a lovely day; the Maltese have generally come across as very friendly otherwise. We also visited Ħaġar Qim and Mnajdra – two ancient temples.
