DuckVille by sandysmith
Manoel Island is ripe for tourist development now and I believe plans are afoot for this along with the development of Tigne Point a bit further down the Sliema promenade. Completion date is estimated for 2012 - main components of the development will include a marina village consisting of about 450 residential units, a modern yacht club, a small hotel, a casino (the former quarantine hospital), a sports center and a small-scale marine-related commercial development, and a modern marina catering for 400 berths - see website below if interested in this multi-million pound project. Sounds a huge project!For now though these ducks are sitting tennants! Their little duck homes can be seen just a the beginning of Maonel Island just after crossing the stone causeway on the left hand side. The craft centre that used to be here has now relocated to the crafts village not far from Mdina.
