Gibraltar

On Saturday, July 1, 2017, we awake at the “Rock”, Gibraltar. We relax on board the ship until noon, and then take a tour with 6 other passengers to see the highlights of this very British mountain. We see the lighthouse overlooking the Mediterranean and Africa, the natural St. Michaels cave used by the Allies in WWII but now a concert venue. We drive to the top then see the siege tunnels on the north overlooking the steep cliff down to Spain and the filled in area that made Gibraltar from and island to a peninsula and that now holds the airport (the road runs across the runway so traffic has to be stopped to allow planes to takeoff and land.) We are dropped off at the main square then walk back to the boat.
