Gibraltar….and its straits. Overnight sail from Cadiz which was well timed but we still found ourselves in, what can only be described as a ‘washing machine’. The straits are very deep but the Med tries to leave twice a day through them! In other words we found some interesting currents….underwear wasn’t needed or was very wet for this passage!
On the rock itself we decided to climb to the top via the Mediterranean Steps which took between 3 – 4 hours and was quite onerous. On the way up we were overtaken by Elvis and some groupies who were doing the climb everyday for 12 days for charity uh huh. At the summit were the famous apes who were sooooo cute and photogenic
Gib is more British than Britain although they do drive on the wrong side of the road. Shop hours are just like home, no siestas and lots of fish and chip shops. It is hard to imagine fitting more bars and pubs into a small space – what a shame Tim has given up alcohol for a week (tee hee)
