We found Gibraltar to be just weird. The cable car up to the
Top Rock was just as we expected, the views are fantastic, the “apes” (actually
tailless monkeys) are there and they do try to get into your rucksack to steal
food. There is a lot of history, not just the centuries of British military
occupation but also the periods of Moorish and Spanish rule. The weirdness was
at its greatest shopping for food in Morrison’s. Everything is exactly like shopping at home,
the signs, the products, the layout, (everything except customers drinking at
the bar), it was just like being teleported back home.

| They look cute, but don't turn your back on the monkeys. |
 |
| The botanical gardens are surprisingly good |
 |
| View towards battery point. The second world war guns were capable of firing shells right across the Straights, but apparently only one German submarine was eversunk |
