A walk around Mdina and Rabat Malta

Another fabulous location in Malta for feasting your eyes on historic buildings.

Unfortunately this was one of the places that caught me out with a DJI Geo-lock. I had permission to fly from Tm-CAD but the mini 4 wouldn’t get past the dreaded metre of frustration!

The aerial orbits are courtesy of Google Studio.

Hope you enjoy anyway.

That brought back some memories :+1:

Did you not visit the Fontanella Tea Garden - one of the best views from the city walls ??

@Jhdee No John, we were on a Riviera travel tour so the days were mapped out for us. I typically had about 10 mins to get drone footage before we went for lunch. :hugs:

… aww that’s a pity - you missed a treat. An old boy that was the waiter in the hotel tipped me off it was a good place to visit. Our trip was for my wife’s birthday - so he suggested it was quite a romantic spot - more likely to be rheumatic in our case :rofl:
Amazing city to visit though :heart_eyes: :heart_eyes:

An old friend of mine’s got one, chopped 4 inches and sporting a Small Block Chevy. Bloody evil thing it is!

Had one back in the day - not quite as exotic as a Chevy small block but was fairly rapid with a Rover V8 - wish I still had it :frowning_face:

Yes, Malta has certainly it’s fair share of spectacular buildings.

He used to have a wicked 3 litre Capri which would see anything around here inhis rear view mirror. Our old friend has a '55 Chevy, which used to be a four door (taxi), but has been converted to a 2 door about 30 years ago. He’s had it since he was 18, and he’s as old as me now (72). Used to do Run what you Brung meets at the Pod, regularly beating Jensens and other exotics!

Never went to the drag strip (although there was once, again in my youth, I accidently found myself in a Bournmouth gay club, couldn’t get out quick enough with my back to the wall). Used to go to Hednesford Raceway when Mk 1 and 2 escorts ruled the roost!

Kids! I used to go when it was old Jags, Zodiacs and big MGs, even an old Jowett Javelin once!
