We visited our fave pastizzi joint for a couple of pea pastizzis and walked into Mdina marvelling at the golden lights. We enjoyed the light strewn outlook from the bastion and even visited the Mdina Cathedral... usually €5 each (which is why we gave it a miss the other day). Evening service was due to get underway so we trundled in with the faithful (and the other economical tourists). They had a stunning crib/nativity display made by craftsmen from Naples - really beautiful. We took a turn around the town and then it was back to the car and back to the hobbit hole. Tomorrow?
