The digital age is a time of instant gratification. With its highly textured and strikingly constructed virtual environments, real-life experiences seem to struggle to match. All of these virtual electronic experiences are an incredible selection of travel programs, undoubtedly immaculate, so much so that the aspiring traveler stays in the warm familiarity of their favorite armchair at home instead of booking the ticket and getting there.
But there is an exception! A Segway tour in Valletta the Capital of Malta , in which you will immerse yourself in the surreal reality of Valletta, but at the same time invigorating and mentally challenging, more than any travel program or augmented reality could offer. "Why?" You may rightly ask ...
Well, first let's take a closer look at the attributes of the Segway . This high-tech piece of individual mobility has reached levels of technical performance that just a few years ago would have been defined as absolute science fiction. These highly developed two-wheelers, most of us have only seen security police use at large airports, share the same operational components as a helicopter.
This gives the Segway the ability to quickly adapt to the rider, reading, balancing and adjusting to even the slightest movement or instruction. The fascinating result is that after a quick introductory demonstration on how to use a Segway, the rider feels like an expert, combining body and machine. After the first ten minutes you'll be forgiven for feeling like the machine is actually part of your body - it's that fast! So now you can effortlessly traverse along steep slopes and winding roads, turn play and travel any distance without a single emission breath, be it coal or your own for that matter.
Now, what about Valletta ? Roll the clock back about 500 years and you find yourself in a city that is like an open-air museum. Ornate baroque buildings are arranged in a pattern of narrow streets that surround the natural terrain, valleys and ridges that respond to roller coaster drops. Staggered alleys that go to infinity. The wide streets still feel deceptively narrow, fenced off only house after house stacked on top of each other. Demarcated by the various wooden balconies the faces of the buildings face the cliff like barnacles of ancient limestone.
You would be forgiven for believing that you have taken your Segway right to a film set and that it is not a city of vibrant life. In fact, very recently parts of Valletta were used as a backdrop for scenes in the Brad Pitt film "World War Z".
A Segway of Valletta, Malta tour is an intoxicating combination of old and new that you simply cannot savor from your easy chair. Book the ticket, book the trip, it's the only way!
