Seven story Street
Malta, the country where I was born, tends to be very hilly in some places. Case in point. The last time I was there, I spent time in a hotel in Mellieha. The Preluna Hotel and Spa occupied seven stories and all of them went out to the street. The street itself is made up of steps, seven stories worth and all the floors had an exit to the street. It had swimming pools on three levels, all streetside. At first it was very confusing and hard to imagine. Once we got used to it, it had advantages. No matter what floor you were on, you can walk out to the street on that floor. This not the only very hilly street in Malta, the capital city, Valetta, also has its share. Walking around town becomes an exhausting experience.
