Gozo - Malta


 Europe-Malta-Gozo-Victoria This is the Citadel virtually in the centre of Gozo. It is situated next to the main town which is known as Rabat or Victoria. It like most historical buildings is very well maintained in Malta. Great views of Gozo from all sides. Gozo was bigger than I had anticipated . Just spend the day here but worth a bit more time .


More Bus stamps and part of the full set . I would have loved to have seen the postmark for Gozo , but as usual on this occasion no mark. The Post office was on the main street just down from the Citatel.

Valletta - Malta


 Europe-Malta-Valletta This is a postcard showing Auberge Del Castille . it is right in the centre of Valletta. On the left hand side the building includes a Post Office. The main building incudes the offices of the Prime Minister. It is a few years since I have been in Malta. Valletta is very beautiful and I was impressed with the upkeep on the buildings and the look of the city . 


I really like those old buses. I was delighted to see a small number of them in Malta. They are now used on a limited basis for tourists . But they are sort of unique. As now more and more par for the course no postmark on these stamps.

Aarhus - Denmark


 Europe-Denmark-Aarhus .
The second largest city in Denmark. First time here. Especially known for modern buildings and architectural landmarks that were built centuries ago. This is a card by Martin Schwartz . 


I was in Aarhus for a few days work. I could not find any postcards and this card I purchased as the main art gallery in the city. I did manage to find the main post office which was in a Supermarket. A few stamps to choose from. However , it was only after when I realised the price of the stamp. 36KR = €4.84. Certainly the most expensive postage to send a postcard within Europe .
