Valletta is an old favorite of ours. We've been here multiple times but it's always fun to walk the streets of the old town.
There's an elevator to take you from sea level up to the town located at the Upper Barrack Gardens. Very convenient, and a bargain at 1euro round trip.
Our Lady of Victories Church, I think.

The crew does safety drills every week. Here they are at their lifeboat stations.
The sail-out from Valletta is glorious
For our return visit to Tunis we took the shuttle bus into Tunis proper. Parking is at the Government Building and we walked to the souks from there. This is Kasbah Square.
Several stores and cafes in the souks have rooftops where you can look out over the Medina. This is the one we found, not the best, but certainly adequate.
Tiles everywhere
The carpet store that showed us up to the roof profited from our time there. We didn't buy carpet but did get some decorative tiles. We continued walking back on ground level, but it was HOT so we didn't stay long.
Appearing as a fierce defender, this cat is really just yawning. We disturbed its nap.
Kasbah Mosque, I think
