What a cracking day we have had today ! Karen was all smiles and it was worth the wait and lovely to see!!

The reason was……..our day out to Gibraltar. The photos will be at the bottom of this blog entry.

Today we made the 90 minute journey and the subsequent 20 minute wait to pass through border control onto the British soil of Gibraltar!

The plan was to take the cable car up the rock and see the views and the monkeys. By chance we were accosted by the hard sell of a minibus tour instead and normally we just say NO to such approaches but we were so glad we said Yes! We saw sights that would have been beyond the reach of Karen probably more than most cable car people would see.

Our first stop was the Hercules column. From here there were some great views of the ships waiting to dock. Then to St Michael’s caves for a bit of welcome cool. Then to the top of the rock and the monkeys. Finally the Siege tunnels. The whole thing was an unforgettable experience. The photos say it all !

Cracking day!

The last photo is the botannical gardens.
