In addition to our existing walks in Malta, we will have many more natural sound and narrated walks coming shortly.
Great, I'll look forward to them, I'd love to know more about Malta. Enjoyed the narration, will they all be narrated?
I'll enjoy watching in full later Mike, "I think I'm going to like it!"
Hi @@BoyInAFridge half will be narrated and half natural sound and we do enjoy doing both.
Hope you do @@relaxbreathesleep1127!
What a wonderful tour. I could live there. Thank you from Sandpoint, Idaho USA.
Hello Mr H, how on earth are you? Good to hear from you. We do love the area around Valletta, you can really see why so many films are set here.
We're enjoying the heatwave in Blighty at the mo'. I guess it's hotting up in Sandpoint too?
All the best chum!
What a stunning place, I'd heard of the 3 cities but had no idea they were quite this lovely. Thanks for the narration too Mike, it's really helpful.
Quite so MA, we thought it might be an interesting place but it exceeded our expectation. Pleased you enjoyed it too.
Hello Friends! Great video and an amazing city! It's on our list!! Thanks for taking us along.😀 Cheers! Monique and Doug
Well hello there dear friends, we've been thinking about you a lot, so it's great to hear from you. Pleased you liked the Malta walk, we'd def' recommend Valletta for sure. We'll be traveling in a few days but it'd be great to catch up with a zoom call one eve once we're settled. Drop us a whatsap and let us know if you're free sometime in the next couple of weeks. Love to you both in the meantime.
@@LivingWalks Will do! Chat on What's app! Safe travels. Monique and Doug😀
Million thanks for sharing the beautiful nation and its amazing cities like Vittoriosa in Malta.
Our pleasure! we’re very happy to share such beautiful places, thanks for dropping by, we hope to bring you many more.
Amazing city and architecture!
Thanks for sharing.
Greetings from Barcelona 🌞
Hi there NJ, you're welcome, we certainly enjoyed the city, happy to know you did too. Thanks for dropping by from lovely Barcelona.
You are walking around my hometown as a kid there. Brings back memories, even though its very different now. I could practically smell the pastizzi.
Thanks for visiting Vorpal, pleased to bring a little of your old hometown back to you, I have a few more if you ever get homesick.
I can see why Malta is so in demand for location filming - it looks right out of Assassin's Creed :)
Indeed so LY, it certainly feels like you're immersed in one big film set. All the best to you.
100% Fantastic! WOW! What can I say! Really enjoyed this trip!
Thanks for staying in contact AW. We're enjoying a nice heatwave here in the UK, hope all's well with you in Singapore?
@@LivingWalks It's crazy warm here in Singapore too. Global warming is very real.
Hmmm@@AmbientWalking quite so. We'll be in Greece in a few weeks & I think we must be a bit mad. Keep on walking friend and let's hope that algorithm sorts itself out sometime soon.
@@LivingWalks Have fun in Greece!
Thanks Mike & Yvonne ☺
Those back / side streets were reminiscent of the ones in La Panier, Marseille!
Malta is a strong contender for a future visit so I'll be checking out the rest soon enough.
Was that Yvonne making a distant cameo at 22:09?! 😉
In case you didn't catch it I replied to your comment about last night regarding the TH-cam views & also some news about Madeira!
Have a truly beautiful week my friends 🤗
Hey Rue, how are you...just back from your Spanish adventures? Yes, that was Yvonne - well spotted :) Will check out your message if Yvonne hasn't already. Take care!👐
@@LivingWalks I was only in Spain for 4 days back in March as I spread out my vlogs for weekly installments to make them last throughout the year for as long as possible, then I don't have to go all over the world too much!
The forthcoming Madeira ones are from the last two weeks in April, so they'll probably tide me over until Autumn I'd say.
I recommend to you the Malta Travel Guide 2023 by Philip S. Ortiz, if you are planning going on a trip to Malta. The book could be of help to you because it is so informative, containing an Itinerary guide to make your trip a memorable one!
On Amazon
Thanks @franklinanthony7736
