Every Thursday, Azura returns to Valletta for a turnaround day. She sails three different routes on rotation – one to France & Italy, another around the Aegean Sea and the third route was sailing down the Adriatic coast. This was our opportunity to explore Valletta as we wouldn’t have any time on the day we disembarked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Azura was already in port when we got up and luggage was being unloaded and coaches lined up to take passengers to the airport. We headed to breakfast before heading off to explore Valletta before it got too hot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To reach the town centre, you needed to walk along the harbour front until you reach a rickety lift which takes you up to the town. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon looked distinctly nervous when he spotted the lift. However, it was either a case of using it or wandering around until we found some steps to climb!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It cost a couple of Euros each to use the lift.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Once you get out the lift, you are treated to some fabulous view across the harbour and of Azura.<\/p>\n\n\n
