Thank you very much Sir, I appreciate you saying. I found all of those places fascinating, none more so than the Lascaris War Rooms - some amazing history right there!

Such an interesting WW2 well kept place that brings very sad wartime nostalgia but that still needs to be passed on. GRAZZI 🇬🇧🇲🇹🇺🇸🇩🇪🇮🇹

Yes that’s very true Karm. It’s almost unimaginable what things were actually like back then. A very different place that’s for sure. Glad I was able to learn a thing or two about the what happened there. I was engrossed and didn’t want to leave. Thanks for watching!

That tunnel has so much history! So cool that you got to see the canons fire! Those models look like chocolate - we may be hungry. The war rooms are impressive. Once again you covered so much in Malta! Really enjoyed this series.

Thank you very much. Hopefully I’ve done Malta justice over the last few months, thoroughly enjoyed my visit! Great to see the war rooms and tunnels - found the experience so interesting and educational, I certainly learnt a lot about Malta’s role in the second would war. Have limited wi-fi at the moment but looking forward to seeing your latest video.

@@MattWhitingsEurope you isn't definitely done it justice! We have not seen anyone do into this amount of detail on Malta.

I've really enjoyed these videos. I love the Mediterranean which I've only experienced from Greece.

Thanks Kathy, really loved Malta. Fantastic island. Thanks for watching! Lots of islands in Greece, another beautiful country.

Wow, wow, wow. Yes, not as cheap as a lot of other entrances in your previous Malta videos, but fascinating and well worth it (well I would say that as I got to see it for free thanks to you 🙏) Created for a very different reason, but if you've not already, I'd highly recommend a visit to the Unterwelten in Berlin - created as underground bunkers for a disaster during the Cold War.
@MattWhitingsEurope2 жыл бұрын
Thanks Caroline, glad you enjoyed my little tour of the war rooms. Fascinating place and it was great to learn so much about them. Very sad that my Maltese road trip has come to an end, what a journey! Thanks for the tip about the Unterwelten, I visited Berlin many years ago but unfortunately did not know they were there. I have made a note on my map for when I go back. 👍

great job! what camera did you use for this?
@MattWhitingsEurope3 ай бұрын
Thank you. I used a Canon G7X Mark II to film it. These days I use a Sony ZV1 which is similar but has some updated features. Hope that helps.

@MattWhitingsEurope Thanks Matt , l am half Maltese and my father told me a lot about the WW2 siege of Malta and how hw witnessed the aerial dog fights and harbour attacks at Valletta. I recall as a child visiting the site where you showed the guns and the firing of one ! I look forward to seeing the rest of yoyr Maltese videos and keep them comming!

Thanks again, very kind of you! Fascinating that your father experienced those brutal times, I can't even imagine how frightening it would have been to live through it. We really have got it good these days compared to what people like your father went through. Hope you like the rest of my Malta videos, I thoroughly enjoyed my trip out there and remember being amazed by just how much there is to see and do on such a small island. Incredible place!
