    You really deliver much more info than the majority of us Maltese!! I'm quite happy and amazed with your great interest about the Maltese archipelago. I don't want to enter in any polemics, but I think that better planning has to be done around these islands. Over here, they knew quite well what there was along the road. So they should have done their homework well. I'm so sorry to say that our historical buildings, besides other things, are not taken well care of. I don't want to generalise though. However, once these historical buildings are destroyed, they're gone forever. Then it's no use crying over the split milk!! We have to hand over what we found on a plate of gold to our future generations!

    Great, interesting video Steve, the history of the aqueduct is fantastic, imagine being involved in the original build! Hope they find there isn't any damage though and it can be preserved. Good to see you without the mask 😷, no hat today though? Looks very hot 🔥. Thanks again. Love Malta 🇲🇹

    In my hometown, a cable was cut through remnants of a former Kings Castle, in a parking area, to facilitate a temporary stage put up once a year. So Malta isn't the only place. But we do hope to be able to come back at least next year, greetings from Denmark!

    Hi Steve, what a lovely Sunday morning historic walk🚶🌸 🌿 🎄⚔🛡 🎥 👏.
    I did look re 'alleged damage' to 'Attard Aqueduct' as promised last Sunday and found it was a Non Event!. Construction was only stopped 🛑 🚧 so the contractor could come up with a viable Risk Management Plan. Steve, what did that spikey shrub had to do with women, I'm confused ? 🤔😂🤣!.
    THANKS STEVE, see you Thursday.
    Cheers 👍 🇲🇹 ♥ 🇪🇺 ©.

    Hi Steve, what's that old saying " you have to crack a few eggs to make an omelette" yes it would be nice if all went well but the fact that everyone on the Island wants to drive and wants newer and better roads it's inevitable that will happen. That Aqua duct has been hit by so many cars and the concern is always the damage to the cars. Great video 👍👍👍👍👍

    It's interesting how it towers above you near the school and gradually gets lower and lower until it becomes a path. Wonder what happened at the end of it. Xxxx

    Nice one Steve , the Maltese have a strange relationship with their historical artefacts , on he one hand they will defend them to the death , but on the other , if a quick profit can be gained , sod it , let`s build another retail outlet , sadly they`re destroying their heritage for a quick buck .
