Apartamentos Manilva Green

... many of us who finished off our bottles over the course of the night. I ended up staying up pretty late talking to a Kiwi, Craig.

Other comments I have. The tents are quite nice and they look VERY durable which is particularly important. We divided into cook crews and I somehow ended up on two. Weird, the North American group (me plus my Canadians) put me on theirs and Pete and Craig thought I was going to be with them. I decided to stay with ...

... No words or pictures could fully capture the essence of this city, you just have to be there to fully experience its beauty. I then explored the city, going to places that are not commonly visited by tourists, I did some shopping, had a beer and tapas at a small restaurant and then walked through the park. Unfortunately, the day was cut short due to time restrictions and I did not have the chance to do everything I wanted to do but I will definitely be back.

... un joli endroit où écouter de la musique live (un caveau semi-ouvert sur le ciel - on voit les étoiles!!). Trois français (2 guitares, 1 violoncelle) jouent du flamenco, de la musique des balkans et partent en live!! au final, trois de leurs amis les rejoignent et terminent en apothéose!! Je voyage pendant tout le concert, je grave ces musiques dans mon esprit pour qu'elles m'accompagnent dans les montagnes sur mon vélo!

... but a few stretches of beach, as the water of the Mediterranean is close to the rock. On the west side there’s more space and that’s where the main town is. The town began as a fort, built by the British in the early 1800’s when they took the rock from the Spanish. Now, the fort contains most of the old town and shops, and outside the walls is where the main apartment buildings have been built, along with ...

... the British Army and they were going to the rock to do some re-conn work so I followed them around all day. We took the cable car up to the top of the Rock. The wind picked up as we were going up and our cable car kept bashing into things. It was not a fun ride. But you can see the whole of Gibraltar from up there so when I wasn't trying not to barf it was nice. We got to the top and it was freezing. Gibraltar is quite famous for its apes and as we were taking photos ...

... amp; mushy peas - mmmmm! We were absolutely stuffed afterwards but we didn't mind! We enjoyed the rest of the afternoon browsing around the shops & having a couple more drinks before heading back to the campsite! It had been an excellent birthday & definitely one to remember! We made a proper day of it & were completely shattered, so after Paul made us a curry, we tucked up with a film for the rest of the night, ready to make our way towards Portugal tomorrow!

... Bristling with ramparts and gunports. We expect to do three things: 1) stand at the southernmost tip of Europe - Point Europa 2) ride the Cable Car to the top and walk through old military installations..taking in the view of Spain/Portugal/Africa. 3) see the Barbary Apes, or as Lyn believes I intend..... to feed them and risk getting fined L500 or bitten. We cross the border on foot at La Linea and jump ...

... window with a long line of people waiting to buy from its small reserves. Snacks and beverages in hand we headed back to the hostel. We passed the parade for Corpus Christi. What is CC all about? I don't know. But, there it was. Back at the hostel we sat on the terrace and drank our beverages. The night was a little cool, pleasant. People around us drank and talked, music played in the background. Everything seemed altogether peaceful and lovely.

... came to a screeching halt early in the 2nd half and went downhill from there. But we tried. Valiant effort. I was interested in dolphins... yet again. But it depended on the price whether or not I give it a go. I tried to phone them but I couldn't get the public phone to connect... maybe I was missing some digits, you knows. So back at the hostel I asked the owner and he said he would call them in the morning for me. It's just me and a Swiss guy staying at the hostel so ...

... time I went, Spain had banned direct flights to Gibraltar, so you had to either fly in from the UK or drive in from Spain. Driving in is an experience all in itself, as to get into Gibraltar you have to actually cross the runway. Luckily enough there are a handful of flights a day, but its still quite scary when you're walking across and you notice the lights start to flash, and a dot on the horizon start to gain shape as an Aeroplane. Once in the place, you ...
