Yesterday and Today !

As you can see Sliema is very big and crammed as there are loads of shopping arcades, shops, cafeterias, houses and restaurants.
It has become really difficult to visit the shops on account of the parking problem.
The Strand Sliema

The Strand Sliema

This is the Strand Sliema however more towards the Gzira side. Look out on my website and see how it changed today.

The chalet once as it used to be !

The chalet was a protruding building at the edge of the Sliema promenade. When my parents where young they used to go dancing here - it must have been a very nice place to chill out and dance and socialise. Today its just a useless piece of building. In Winter, the sea is so rough at this point that the waves keep pouring over and hitting against this building fiercefully. It's not advisable to swim between Sliema pitch and the Chalet because there are whirlpools and in the past people have drowned there !

Today, the chalet sadly has been removed ! I have no idea what they are going to build instead maybe another modern chalet - who knows !

 Elisa, I think that your photo of 7 March 2005 is of Tower Road, vicinity of Triq Karm Galea - not The Strand. Splendid photos and definition. What camera? Regards, Trevor.
