Meeting my new family

GIBRALTOR
Day 29 So I had to go to the rock of Gibraltor to see the monkeys, me and my animals. So we set off on a bus to La Linea, the border town, and then you just walk over the border. Just on the other side we hired a tour bus where we had a driver in a ...

Cuttyhunk has left the Med
The day arrived cloudy and cool, well just over the Rock of Gibraltar that is. The rock sits like a mini England, with it's own grey cloud, and it's own little miserable weather system. However we were in the anchorage on the Spanish side and ...

The Rock of Britishness

A tour of Costa del Sol with the parents!
... was an adventure in itself. The magnificent, 423 meter limestone rock towered above us as we navigated through some confusing streets. Gibraltar is a funny city- the currency is in British pounds and all of the signs changed to English at the border. ...

the rock
Ah, that sweet smell of land hits our olfactory system again. Although the sweet smell is more like the smell of diesel and other fumes eminating from the massive container ships that litter this area. We are not even bothering to anchor and not going ...
Gibraltar
... decided I had to see it to believe it. I can only sum up the whole experience as a little disorienting. First, you cannot enter Gibraltar by anything other than foot, essentially. I had to bus from Sevilla to La Línea de la Concepción, which is a grungy ...

Welp, that's a pretty big rock.
It took about an hour to drive to Gibraltar, but then we had to wait another hour to even make it through customs - which turned out to consist of me holding our passports out the window, them making sure there were 3 for the 3 of us in the car, and ...
Gibraltar
Dnes jsme jeli na výlet do malého státečku jménem Gibraltar, který je pod nadvládou anglické koruny. Mají taky libru ale svojí. Což se nevidí. Je to taková skála na konci světa, ale šíleně přecpaná, jelikož ...
Main Street
Picking up last minute odds and sods in Main Street before I leave Gibraltar. Who knew it would be so difficult to find a cheap crappy watch that actually like?? (sorry but the Tag is staying home for this trip). Despite the daily influx of tourists from ...
