Costa Natura Apartment Hotel Estepona

... all worth it. <br><br>The shuttle took us to the airport where we met up with 13 more overlanders. The couple from chili, Craig, Kati, Dan, Sarah, Gavin, Peter, Myumi, Dan H., ect. Then there was the most amazing European discount airlines ever and guess where my seat was? THE LAST ROW, there is already about half the normal leg room compared to a normal American airlines. Man 2.5 hours worth of hell with this weird guy who could not stop fidgeting to ...

... 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.

... mes nuits dans la nature.. et bien je la revis un peu avec lui et lire ce livre me sert en quelque sorte d'exutoire... Je ne compare pas son aventure avec mon voyage, nous n'avons pas les mêmes sources d'angoisse (lui, c'est les ours!!!!).. mais il délire sur un endroit où il décide de camper un soir et explique "mon esprit chercher à se distraire, à fuir les pensées négatives qui renaissent à chaque tombée de la nuit"<br>Nous ...

... every person who had a camera. I was now an attraction on the Rock of Gibraltar. Our guide patiently waited for all of the members of the tour to take a picture, then he waved his hand at the ape and it jumped back to the boulder that was its prior perch. Yes, we were in the Ape's Den. This is where the military feeds the apes so that they will not be a nuisance to the town or the tourists that frequent the Rock. The Barbary Ape is a tailless monkey that is native to this area of ...

... the chef (tossing pizza dough) and the waiter; high-fived each other as the television showed photos from Obama's inauguration. "No more war," said the chef. "Yes, that's one thing of many," I replied. After dinner, we received a glass of a very tasty limon-coco digestivo. I love the practice of giving gratis in these small cafes. Make one feel welcome. The entire meal, with drinks, was &euro;20 for the three of us. Returned to hotel, to have a hot bath, read, and sleep.

... the mechanism used to prevent blow back when firing the cannon. I cannot explain it, but I did take pictures. We rushed to the car (we were almost the last ones back) and continued our harrowing drive going by the exhibit (we didn't stop but I heard later that it wasn't much to see) and the Moorish castle. We proceeded through the older quarter where we saw some beautiful houses and our guide explained that many owners could not afford to keep them up ...

... and extremely tame. They were probably used to the locals, and they hopped all over the cars looking for snacks. There will also little Ape families with babies. I started getting so excited, I started looking like monkey... Then we walked up a huge hill to the Siege Tunnels where there was a reinactment of what the British Army siege tunnels were like from when they ...

... for another exit, so we climbed it. It turns out the defences of Gibraltar aren't as impenetrable as they used to be. After that, we walked around the town centre, and had lunch in Lord Nelson's pub, full of all sorts of nautical themed quintessentailly British ... stuff. Well that about wraps up our trip to Gibraltar. Clem says: The monkeys are sooooooooo cute. Interestingly, in spanish the word "mono" signifies both both monkey and cute! "Los monos son monos!"

... We took our time, kicked around down at the mariner and all the way back round for a hot breakfast of huevos revueltos at one of the cafes down by the water. The plan was to head along the N340 coastal road, which misses the A-7 toll and provides plenty of opportunity for stopping often to check out more seaside villages. This we did, through Marbella and San Pedro and all the ...

... a rock? I later heard about monkeys that live on the rock and that it was owned by England...so then I thought, why am I going to see a rock, monkeys, and some British people? Well, lets just say it was completely worth it. I discovered a very interesting colony of the England, with very interesting people, history, and monkeys.
