The weather improved ever so slightly in the morning and we took one of the Gibraltar “Rock Tours”. For £25 each we had a private minibus which visited the following sites:

• Pillars of Hercules
• St Michael’s caves
• The siege tunnels
• Monkeys

Here’s a selection of pictures from the tour.

In the afternoon we walked to the furthest point of the Rock, Europa Point where the Ibrahim-al-Ibrahim Mosque, also known as the King Fahd bin Abdulaziz al-Saud Mosque or the Mosque of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, is located.

Inclement weather meant we were soaked again and reliant on public transport to get us back to town.

Evening dinner, another recommendation from D and T was “La Bodeguiya”, a Tapas bar located close to the central square. It’s the kind of restaurant one would pass by were it not for some local knowledge. The food was simply excellent, but we weren’t quite sure why some of the best dishes appeared not to be on the menu! Thoroughly enjoyable evening, with perhaps a splash or two of excess wine – the only thing missing being the “classy” “flag” show from the Lord Nelson.
