Gibraltar is a good two hours away from where we’re staying, but we really wanted to visit, so it was an early start yesterday. We parked on the Spanish side and walked across the border, and then across the airport runway. Seemed very strange! After walking through the town, we took the cable car up the rock, and almost as soon as we emerged at the top we saw the monkeys and the monkeys saw us — one landed on my shoulders and tried to get into my backpack before I realised what was going on! We walked out to O’Hara’s battery and could see Africa. Quite a stunning view. Walking back down we went into St. Michael’s Cave to see the stalactites and stalagmites. The lighting kept changing colours, which was a bit strange, but the formations really were amazing. Part of it is used for concerts because of the acoustics, but I’m not sure how you’re supposed to find your numbered seat with the way they’re organised.
