Win a goat |
|
Only in Malta probably you will find such a docile goat, which we met at B'kara open market. The boy was poking his finger in his nose and it just sat there |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
St. Helen Church |
|
B'kara people are quite proud of their church, Don't you think they have a reason to |
|
|

Mini Church |

Compared to St. Helen Church, this is very small, it is dedicated to St. Rocco and was 400 years old a couple of years ago, but who is counting? |

Just at the cross roads, in an area that is called BirBal because it is the area in between Birkikara and Balzan, You should see the busses turn this corner, we think that is why the statue has been put up in this place, to stop the driver from swearing .... |
