Day 21 Gibraltar
We had a relaxing day in Gibraltar with no pedaling involved!
After a full English breakfast, a hop skip and a jump took us to the cable car that swifted us to the top of Gibraltar Rock.
At the top we were greeted by the Rock's furry inhabitants, Barbary Macaques, very cute, but don't get too near as they bite and will pinch any food you have.
A pleasant morning was spent exploring the Rock with Matt forking out £10 to have a look at some caves. The views from the top were amazing, with clearish views into Spain and Africa.
We made our way back down to the hotel to collect our bikes for a photo shoot with the Gibraltar Chronicle. We had just left the hotel when a very nice lady called Mrs P Manasco stop to talk to us and promptly gave us £40 for GOSH!
We then met Eyleen Sheil from the Chronicle, who was keen to take our story and publish it with our picture for tomorrow's edition. Fame at last.....
Eyleen recommended us to visit Robin James on a replica Battle of Trafalgar schooner, HMS Pickles. We picthed up at Ocean Village were his boat was moored and spent the next 3 hours being entertained and educated about the Battle of Trafalgar and Lord Nelson. Robin was a brilliant source of information and an all round top bloke.
Whilst at the Pier, Peter decided to commit his bike to a watery grave....
All in all a relaxing day with the evening to come!
