16 March 2025 Sliema: A Waterpolo Game on Our Walk

 


All that time on the HOHO wore us our.  Even though we brought our own cushions to sit on, we were still a bit beat up.  So today was going to be an easy one.  We took a walk before we made some family phone calls.  We walked along the waters edge, below the promenade, and saw all sorts of things.  We saw sculptures, sunbathers, elderly couples, kids, dogs and a water polo game in a seaside pool.  


Right out of out place we saw this delightful green wall


This must be a summertime pool


Cat in the cat sanctuary


Baskets with pillows and litter boxes all arounf the shelter


More bright spring flowers


Too chilly for the girls to be out


A large playground up by the promenade


Sports Club!


Spooky spirit of the fishing nets


A kind of spooky swimmer


No sea urchin for you!


The tidal pools are everpresent


Swimmers


Railings to help you get in and out of the water


Our path


Love the colors of the water


A casino in the distance


Fresh paint and old mold


A little shipyard


Another swimmer out there


Flowers are always a nice touch


One tough hombre 


Fishing


These advertisements can flip down and become seats


So much fun watching


More whistles from the referees than cheering from the crowd


Maybe crowd is an overstatement



Some sort of seeds in the tree


So much potential 


Can you see the grafitti cat?


Adolescents busy reading at the beach


A little bird condo on the other side of the fence


A waterfront watchtower erected in 1656
