Gibraltar

Day 2 was a stop in Gibraltar - a great port stop.  Gibraltar is a tiny British territory only accessible by land through Spain.  It consists of reclaimed land turned into Miami (mid and high rise condos, soul-less retail) blocking a really nice old town, and an absurdly steep rock.  We took our tour up the rock, which is so narrow and steep, that the road is a one-way loop.   First we saw St. Michael's Cave - a huge natural cave complete with stalactites. So big and great acoustics, that it also serves as a concert hall.  

Then....Monkeys moneys monkeys everywhere, heights, tunnels, monkeys.   The sharp height and the tunnels they dug in to the (porous, flimsy) rock are absolutely incredible.  And monkeys. Aggressive, smart monkeys that necessitate your guide carrying an umbrella to fight them off with.





Back down to the old town.  The tour company wants 280 Gibraltar Pounds, but will settle for GBP.  And my ATM card doesn't work there.  So I abandon my children to have a strange foreigner drive me around to various ATMS.  Finally got on the ship and used their shady Casino ATM and paid him in REAL AMERICAN CURRENCY.   Not his garbage fake pounds.   #RevolutionaryWar #MAGA.

Old town, quaint bla bla.  Found Beth unnecessarily clothes shopping.  Wandered back to the ship.   Gibraltar is a must see.
