Day 45 - Gibraltar

Up early to catch the train to Fuengirola then the bus to Gibraltar. Gibraltar is governed by Queen Elizabeth II therefore another change of currency (Pounds Sterling or Gibraltor Pounds) although they do accept the Euro. The entire country is 6.5 square kilometers and the main road crosses the runway strip. 

The native language is English and the city architecture makes you feel you are in Britain however they still drive on the opposite side to us and the UK. 

We had a great time in this tiny country. We visited St Michael's caves where concerts are held within. Just wonderful. We then got close up and personal with a number of Gibraltor apes - some with a couple of babies. It was quite cool so we were fortunate as in hot weather they hide in the coolness of the bush. They roam wild on the road and lounge about on top of walls and a quite tame.

It was good old fish and chips for lunch before doing some shopping. We hadn't returned long to the apartment and we were off again to catch the train to have a farewell dinner at Ed's mums as Ed and his lot fly out tomorrow for six days in Paris before returning to Australia. We said our goodbyes and rocked up home at 11.30pm.
