MUZA is situated by the entrance to the old town of Valetta, entrance is 5eur – well worth the money, this place was huge.
The muesum stretched over 3 floors, with lots of different rooms and exchibits, you could easily get lost.
Most of the artwork is religious and related to the grandmasters of st john. But also lots pf old furniture and tools n stuff.. dating back 4-500 years.
After googeling around a bit we foud the Ġgantija temple on Gozo, supposed to be the / or the second oldest man made building in the world (there is some old stuff in turkey)
We opted out on the hop-on-hop-off hell that is the reb busses/ferries, and did the regular ferry from Cirkewwa to Mggarr on the island of Gozo. Nice calm n easy crossing, on a big car ferry.
Besides the temple itself, there is a small muesum also. Showing old pottery, jewøery amd tools – dating vack 5600 years.. so thats older than the pyramids, way older.
Of course, it has had its wear over the years – but again, 5600 years old..thats a bit, older than the stonehenge.. really cool.
The whole area was really nice laid out, and for us beeing here in start of low season it was not crowded at all. Really cool site – of course it also had a giftshop at the end.. fridge magnets aquired!
5600 teater old statue. She looks very happy, at least the one with the head.
The old city of Valetta was a real nice place, loaded wifth cafes and resturants. And of course lots of churches
Built in th 1570’s loaded with references to the crusades.
The picture above is for remembering one of the grandmasters – and all the battles he was in. Note that the one angel is stepping on a skull – and the other obe a turban.. so, yeah 🙂
Quite an impressive view, gold everywhere and intricate decorations all over the place
Underneath the altar is the toomb of several grandmasters.. quite cool
I’ve been to Vegas probably 10 times before, and I allways end up walking up and down the strip. Nothing wrong with that, there is lots to see, tons of excelent resturants and lots of other weird stuff.
So I have never gotten around to do the downtown thing, but I have heard a lot about it. So finaly! We did a taxi to the Golden Nugget, thats pretty much the start of Freemont street experience thingy, from the Cosmopolitan it will be like 25$, it is a bit of the strip and will probably take you a long time walk Continue reading “Downtown Las Vegas, Freemont street.”
