Certainly an interesting place, notwithstanding the fact that it was the first time in about seven months where I could completely understand the menu! As a British colony, they speak English and hence everything is written in English.

Gibraltar is about three miles long and about one mile wide - in fact, space is such a commodity that you have to drive across the runway of the airport to get into the country! It was a real treat to sit at a red light on that road so that the traffic could wait for a plane to take off.

Rich in naval history, Gibraltar has much to offer in this area. From Admiral Nelson O'Hara's Folly to the 100-ton steam-powered cannon, there are lots of things to read about and to look at. If that's not enough, the view from the top of the rock is spectacular. And you might also be fortunate to run into a couple of the monkeys that are running around over the rock.
