Kate and I had arrived in Valletta, Malta the night before so had yet to see the city properly. I got up and went out to find some coffee, the benefits of being an early riser being you get to experience new places in the quiet of the morning. This was my first view of the streets of Malta, it was both very new and yet very familiar. The architecture has a Venetian feel to it, the narrow streets are lined with apartment buildings each one with ornate enclosed bay windows. I found my coffee and as I sat down to drink it I spotted a nun. At the same time I got a text message from Kate who was out and about and had also spotted nuns.

We were in Malta to take photos, but also to be tourists and experience the place. If you could do both at the same time that would be an added bonus and by now it was clear we both had an affinity for seizing a moment.
