Gibraltar

Evening
As promised, here is a quick tour around Gibraltar.

We generally try and spend a day in Gib when we are in Spain.  There are some lovely restaurants, and it's always fund too see an M&S when you are on holiday!

It took us a couple of hours to cross the borders this time.  Thank goodness for air conditioning in cars! The outside temperature was 39degrees!  However, having heard the news the last couple of days when it has taken some people 6 hours to cross the border, perhaps we got off lightly.  At least it gave me the chance to take some photos whilst we were queueing


 My nail varnish matches the sea wall!!

We spent a long time looking at Gib like this....  Grrrrr...

But finally - we arrived in time for a late lunch
A walk down the High Street
Time for a cooling drink at The Rock Hotel - so very old colonial England



Then time for a tour round the island (rather than up the Rock).  So much prettier and less busy....

First stop a water fall

then through a tunnel in the rock!


Pretty beaches and views


Seagulls, fish and boats

A game of cricket - I never seem to escape!

Not quite the green wickets of home!

And finally a splash of colour at La Genoa


Before going home.
Another good day.

More holiday photos tomorrow evening.
