Long walk during the crisis time in Valletta - as you never have seen it before

2 hours of walking in Valletta.
Despite of the public holiday Valletta is empty. No tourist, no locals. Mainly policemen and elderly (!) people. The shops are closed, the museums are closed, the restaurants all closed, the main attractions are closed, the Festa of St Joseph cancelled.
Never ever seen the Upper Barrakka Gardens without people...
We are not under lock down on this day (19th March) but people started to stay at home. The whole experience is so surreal. I cannot believe what I see... :(

This is like coming home. I have the privilege and honour of having been born in Malta. My mum and dad were English born and Bred but I could onlt be a British Subject. I have never felt a place of home until I started to come back to Malta. This is home. Finally I have a place to connect with. Thank you for that privilege. I am now 69 years of age and I can finally say Im Maltese and proud of it,,,

How things have changed. I was in Malta from 1976 to 1978. If I went back now I would be lost.

I would like to have seen it like that. I was in Valletta a couple of weeks ago, but it was busier then of course. I hope to go back one day and see the rest of the island.

I was stationed in Malta 65 to 70 and loved it. Don't recognise any where now. Went back on holiday about 95 and though the place had deteriorated, a lot, rather scuffy. I've watched a few videos of Malta lately and it looks a lot better. This video has tempted me to give it another try. It h as always been a beautiful place but perhaps poor government let it slide. Glad to see its on the up. I

My father was stationed there during WW2, which was one of the reasons why I wanted to go there. I really enjoyed it. I think it's remarkable how much has been rebuilt without taking away it's charm.

It does look very sad but still beautiful with its new look. This new facelift must have been done since my last visit in 2008.

What happened to that beautiful gate going inside Valletta ? Who knocked it down and put that monstrosity in place of it ??

The phrase 'the silent city' can now be applied also to Valletta, and not just Mdina.

The local farmers can cover the 30-40% of the demand. The rest covered by import. Most of the people/families stocked for 3-4 weeks meanwhile the supply seems enough for all. Yesterday I went to Lidl, all shelves were full. The way I see it the only thing is missing is hand sanitizer. At the moment I don't see any kind of food-related problem here.

@@MaltaWalks good to know. fighting against the virus will definitely being a long battle. some countries begin stopping exporting food and some places of world will face the food problem. wish it will not happen in Malta.
