Day 5 Gibraltar Sunny 22C
This was our second visit to Gibraltar and last time we went up on
the cable car to the top of the rock to see the views and braved the
mischievious monkeys. We were a little underwhelmed with the
experience and found the town rather like an English town.
View of Gibraltar from our cabin ....sorry STATEROOM!
This time we decided just to walk off the ship and stroll around the
town. We were more impressed this time: there has been a lot of new
development and restoration of the older buildings.
In particular the 1930's battlements are being restored and
sympathetically revitalised with cafes and shops in the old arches.
There are some old English style buildings like the Police station
Jack of Dock Green 'ev'ning all'
When leaving the ship we pulled forward off the berth and had a great
view of the airport runway which is on reclaimed land between the
English rock and the Spanish mainland.

Still time for a swim in the warm sunshine before dinner.
Good that you were more impressed with Gibraltar second time around although not really Bungle territory, I guess!
