The Rock and It's Apes

The Rock of Gibraltar - March 2006: We planned many, many day trips out of Nerja and a 3-hour drive to the Rock of Gibraltar was our first! What an amazingly beautiful place! And oh so British! We walked across a live runway from Spain to Gibraltar. Our very knoweldgeable tour guide, Arthur, meandered his way up the rock, maneouvering the hairpin turns as if he was on a four lane highway. A native of the rock, he knew its history inside and out. He even knew which of the apes was the gentless and which one to be careful of. That's the one that tried to steel Mike's hat! Playing with the apes was one of the highlights of the day. We wandered around the town after our tour - enjoyed a tasty chicken pot pie and a pint in what could have been a pub in any town in the UK - shopped at Marks and Spencers then walked back across the runway to get back to our car to drive back to Nerja! Another day of delights!
