The entrance to Dockyard Creek, Grand Harbour, with Fort St. Angelo on the
left.
 Buses are cheap, plentiful and well partronised. Each bus is
privately owned and contracted to
the public transport authority. They are old, decorated and named
individually (though all the same
colour) and are a tourist attraction in their own right, with most of them
dating back to the 50s and
60s.
 View of Grand Harbour. At top left is the dry dock built built by the
Royal Navy and now
run by Malta Dock Yards at great cost to the taxpayer...consequently
the whole operation has
just been sold to private buyers.
