[@vickygibson1519]

Firstly your videos are NEVER boring! Thank you for the stroll along The Strand, lots of new projects going on. Probably not possible, but it would be nice if more trees could be planted, or some sort of greenery to break up all the views of the big buildings. Also would be good to soak up all those fumes. Thanks again.

Hey Steve , another NOT boring video !!....thanks for the loop .. had some fun nights out there 🍹🍻...💜

Ooo Steve ! It’s so bloody quiet ! 8 or 9 years we’ve stayed on the strand and I’ve never seen it so quiet . A sign of the times indeed . Great vid as ever and kinda glad we’re staying on Gozo and then Valletta this year . Keep up the good work .

[@frida8961]

Love it Steve. I just cant believe how much Sliema has changed. I hardly recognize it from when I was last there in 2010.

[@phillipcaruana6673]

Thanks for the videos Steve. My dad is from Zebbug and we love watching your videos from Australia. Dad said a good walk would be from Zebbug to Tal-Virtu. Hope to see you in Malta next year!

[@lynnew3971]

Thanks for the walk today Steve ...your never boring 👣

[@bonzofotheringham8225]

Never boring old boy. Sliema seems to be in a state of constant change. Much as I love Malta, I don't care too much for Sliema.

[@francisdacey2768]

Never ever boring pal. We love to see malta from any side of the road! We're stuck here, wishing we were there. I remember the fish burger video with your friend Ozzy. You walked right through it there? Would make a hell of a pub crawl that pal.20 bars in a 100 metres! Taxi for Fran! Cheers everybody. 2 weeks or so and counting. I AM RABTI! PROSIT

Sliema and gzira ls were most of my family 👪 originate from,such a hub of activity steve,but I love it at night ,nice one fella great video.lovely bars and restaurants 👍 not having a beer fella 👍 😀 😉 👏

[@4kWalkinCanada]

Very nice video thanks for sharing

[@EnglishmaninMalta]

Very interesting to the sea side lots going on over there

[@PaulMann8666]

The Magic Kiosk was in St Anne's Square (24 minutes into this great video - thank you Steve,as always) on the corner where Tower Road goes up over the inner part of Tigne Point, and then down to Sliema Strand. It was a great little place to have a coffee, snack, Kinie or beer,watching the ferries come and go. There was an anglers' supplies and hardware shop on the church side. And most of the front you show here was taken up by small independent shops and a few bars, and even still a few of the old villas with their little front gardens. I mean 40 to 30 years ago. Time passes.

[@gosiatrzaska5794]

Walked through that road everyday when on Holliday there…. up to the point ….very quite maybe to early for people to go out yet …yes I remember the kiosk where the fountain is now

Hi, we stayed in the waterfront Hotel a few years back, can't believe how the area has changed. X

[@margoguythomson8736]

Hi Steve, good evening another great video🎥 it's not boring but I prefer Valletta to silema thanks😎👍

[@dr.strangelove7739]

I visited Malta so many times, from 1980 - 2011, and I never rode a Captain Morgan boat. You couldn't pay me to step on board. They are so pushy and irritating! Thanks for posting a great video.

[@EnglishmaninMalta]

Sorry to hear that ..Maybe the booking agents , Sure They can be in many countries, its how they make their money

[@veronicamifsud9646]

Thanks for the nice walk along the Strand, Sliema changing all the time, lots going on with new buildings, Aqualuna looks nice, let’s hope it gets the customers it needs with the pandemic, nice to see Marks&Spencer still thriving. PS your videos are not boring as you show as much as is possible along the way.

[@markhjones956]

Marie, the Englishwoman at the end is very helpful and knowledgeable. She has been there for about twelve years. If you need advice or tickets, go and see her.

[@BrumKid]

Malta has changed so much since i was stationed there in 1975 to 1978 and i married a maltese woman and each time we go out it changes and not for the good. There was a model shop in Sliema which sold all kinds of models but i cannot rememeber where it was and as for paceville i had many a great night out there in the English speaking bars and i got my Suzuki duty free bike from Antonio Bosio Street.

[@crazyelephantlady]

Hi Steve, we enjoyed that walk, not boring at all! We used to love the magic kiosk, it was a great shame that it closed 😎

[@mickeycrilly1839]

Is the front of the diesel store originally like that and is the corner statue on its face real and old it’s a nice building I used to think it would make a lovely home

[@johnembery7801]

Enjoyed your walk , dont go to Sliema a lot, sometimes to the point shopping and dining. Very difficult to park at Sliema, big problem. Thankyou Steve 👍

[@pcharliep61]

Hi Steve, they are always building something down there. I noticed a few of the old buildings still hanging around on that road, someone is sitting in a pretty penny there 😊 at one time I remember only one restaurant serving alfresco on that section can't remember the name but not far was the place you use to book your Captain Morgan trips. cheers 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@mariomicallef7142]

There are some good eateries along that strip.

HI STEVE I WATCHED YOUR WALK FROM GZIRA TO SLIEMA,PLACES I HAVE VISITED OFTEN,BUT WOW HOW IT HAS CHANGED AND EVEN MORE I CAN SEE BY YOUR VIDEO. GZIRA IS THE PLACE WE USED TO COME TO ON A SUNDAY EVENING NEAR MANUAL ISLAND AND BUY SOME CHEESE CAKES FROM MAXIMS NEAR BY.AND AS FOR TONY'S BAR USED TO HAVE A HAM ROLL AND GLASS OF TEA BEFORE GOING BACK TO TIGNE BKS WHERE I WAS STATIONED WITH THE ROYAL ARTILLERY IN 1957.YOUR WELSHMAN IN MALTA.

[@johnabela932]

Hi John. You reminded me of my beloved Dad - Gnr. Jim Abela - Royal Malta Artillery. He served from mid 30s to mid 60s.. I'm sure, that apart from a few short foreign postings, he was @ Forts Campbell, St Angelo & St Elmo . Mostly, I remember those SUPERB Xmas parties the Artillery used to throw & the awsome Xmas presents we used to get at the end 🤶 😲. Those were the days! Cheers mate 👍 🇲🇹 ♥ 🇪🇺 ™

Thanks 👍

[@mariomicallef7142]

The whole island is going through a lot of change. In Gzira in particular many old houses are being pulled down and flats built in instead.

[@rachel7565]

Lovely little meander around Silema with you Steve. It’s crazy how much places change in such a short time. That Mrs building has shot up. The Indonesian guy who stopped to say hello was nice and cheery 😁 There is a lovely little tea room you walked past near to McDonald’s called Carolina’s. They sell delicious cakes! 🍰

[@tazzatamania]

We used to do that walk a couple of times each holiday but on the other side of the road. There used to be a few stand alone snack bars which served nice food and cheap drinks but I looks like they're all gone now. We've never stayed in Sliema because we like the North, particularly Qawra/Bugibba but I might stay around Sliema next time so we can explore the South more.

[@dr.strangelove7739]

Wow!, I commented to early! There is the good old Black Gold! The reason they named it the "Black Gold" is because they wanted to attract all of the oilfield workers flush with cash when they were coming and going to work in Libya. They all had to transit through Malta during the Libyan sanctions, and they all hung out at this bar. Three generations of my family have bellied up to that bar! Sorry to say my dad (and a few of his Scottish friends) had to replace all of the tables and chairs in that place, (more than once). But, the owners always welcomed him back. There used to be hardhat stickers on the wall from all of the oilfield workers that used to go there while they were on field break. Our sticker said "Christian International, Ltd." I wonder if it is still there. Last time I went there was around 2003.

[@carolelatham5594]

Ha ha loved your comment about some Cliff Richard music. I'm gonna see him live next month in Brighton lovely to see Sliema again it has changed since I was last there only 2018

Were yu close to the Black Gold Saloon? Is it still there? it used to be a big hangout for American oil and gas workers working in Libya. A Maltese family owns it. I always stopped by to say hi to "Johhny" the owner. Nice Guy.

[@charlottemallia1437]

I loved Sliema my husband and I enjoyed the hotels with the balcony facing the Mediterranean, but this tour was so upsetting to me our little area has changed so much, the Army Navy club not there anymore use to like the shops , but truly I don’t think I would enjoy anymore,it sure has changed

[@alecbell5453]

Unbelievable! Sliema was so quiet at one time.

[@andreasth3r3b3ll3]

Your videos arn not boring, now we know that the Tri Angelis were replaced by Black Gold Saloon, and the Tom Tailor Shop is replaced by Busy Bee. After the Zara Shop the road left up, 50 to 100 meters is the Restaurant of the Sliema Wanderers Football Club. Good food, affordable price and you can sit in an atrium off the road.

Iva, Triq Bisazza fil Ta Sliema.

Omg Tony’s bar too

[@mickeycrilly1839]

We went to sliema steve and as my wife said it’s Benidorm twenty years ago, we preferred Gozo and the rest of malta ,we met a couple of the techs who work in gaming they had lived and worked there for over ten years and made a fortune I could live there but not near the front much too benedormish for me

[@andrewharding8306]

Nothing like Benidorm, Sliema is just very busy and crowded, it's not tacky, cheap and Blackpooly as Benidorm is, I think maybe you're getting confused with Qawra / Buggiba which is a dump, no idea why anyone would want to go there when there are so many beautiful towns and villages in Malta with beautiful countryside views and landscapes, but I guess that's what tourists do, I know that I couldn't.

[@mickeycrilly1839]

@@andrewharding8306 I was referring to the look in that it’s getting that high rise look, I prefer the rest of Malta and Gozo myself paceville is the start of the young money traps and as they spend a lot more than us oldies that’s were the front is going, all load bars and cheep build high rise hotels never mind hopefully they will get a less show me the money government who will start to keep the heritage more

you have a cute laugh...

Only laugh 🤣🤣🤣

[@carolexley6702]

I see Little Tony`s Bar is still all closed up. Obviously Paul`s kids didn`t want to keep it open, but at least, for the moment, it is still there, along with a lot of happy memories for, I am sure, many ex forces people and their families.

[@PaulMann8666]

The Sicilian influence, with all of that island's problematic aspects, used to be something the Maltese were proud of keeping out. But then Malta joined the famously incorruptible EU and got lots of nice gambling businesses and Gentlemen's Clubs in St. Julians. EU benefits are so clear in Malta now. Progress is a marvelous thing.

[@johnabela932]

How 'old' GZIRA & SLIEMA have changed 🏢 🏢 🏢 😲 😔. I agree totally with my fellow sub Victor Letti's comment. THANKS FOR THE WALK STEVE🚶☀ 🎥 👏- It was an eye-opener 👀. Like you said, I'm sure it looks different at night 🌃. Cheers 👍 🇲🇹 ♥ 🇪🇺 ™

Looking good Steve constantly changing Sliema hope the new builds compliment the original architecture, and your not looking so bad running around there like a teenager lol stay safe mate...

We went to Tony’s Bar years ago. We had a chat with the old owner Tony and he did swear a lot! I guess he is not around now!

[@andrewharding8306]

I think you mean Joe Galea not Tony as he died decades ago, sadly we lost Joe a few years ago now, he was a good man Joey, a good laugh, and quite grumpy, but with a heart of gold, his sons Mark and Ian are in charge now, the place is in very safe hands with them.

[@joefenech6839]

Boring ?????……pure rubish. Sliema is so different compared to the Malta I know , being so modern. Listening to you talk about Sicily, I would love to see a video of you making a trip on the boat there. It could be a road/wave runner if you take your car. My Grandfather used to go there to play with his village band on the weekend.

[@1960ARC]

Cause Malta needs more hotels and restaurants. Not. Sliema is a place I have walked many times. My cousin lives in the next village, Gzira. I have photos of this area, how it has changed. Being Maltese living in England, I can't say I find your videos boring. My favourite thing to do was buy a slice of Pizza from Maxims and maybe a recotta pastits. Then Walk to the Gardens at the front in Gzira sit on a bench facing Valletta and eat.

[@EnglishmaninMalta]

Sounds very relaxing thing to do ! And thanks for watching

[@rosewiegers7284]

[@geologist3216]

I only visited Sliema once Steve , and I must say I wasn`t impressed , and judging by this video it hasn`t improved, just how many restaurants do they think they need , haven`t they heard of the law of `supply and demand` ? Pure overkill if you ask me .
