We liked the area of St. Julian's and Sleima when we took the Hop-On Hop-Off Bus so we decide to return to walk around the area and have lunch. We start out a little late, so lunch becomes the first priority. As the bus rambles along St. Julian's Bay we keep our eyes out for an interesting area. As we pass the smaller bays we see a number of them with seaside restaurants. I push the stop button for the bus in Exiles Bay and we find ourselves having a pasta lunch overlooking the bay. While we are dining I notice someone swimming laps the length of the bay - probably 400 meters across at this point. He's much more adventurous than me!
After lunch we stroll along the seaside walkway and take in the view of the town of St. Julian's. The number of cranes strikes me. Everywhere we have gone on these islands we see construction. There's even four projects within one block of our flat in St. Paul's Bay. It appears that the Maltese economy is doing well, or at least the real estate market is strong. The prices for flats in St. Julian's look like they are three to four times what we have seen in St. Paul's Bay, but it's all about location, location, location.
