Gibraltar

Map 2

It was raining when we got up and walked to Gibraltar. Virtually everything to do indoors was closed on Sunday, so we decided to do "the rock" anyway. We took the cable car up and walked miles of paths. Two different monkeys tried to mug Janene, but were unsuccessful in getting into her backpack. The WW2 tunnels were closed, but we probably won't go back for them. The weather cleared up a little while we were on top, so we got a sense of the view. We were disappointed in the trashiness of the place, especially the Nature Reserve.

Daily miles: 14.79 Expenses:
  18€ (Gibraltar cable cars)
  12.30€ (Gibraltar fish & chips)
  36€ (Hostal Carlos in La Linea)
