Gibraltar UK, Monday November 5th, 2012







THERE'S AFRICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




 ...and they haven't been back since!
 We were worried about the monkeys taking our stuff, our cameras or glasses, so we kept our distance for a while...
 ...but then we got a bit more bold as we saw that the monkeys weren't too impressed with us. We didn't have anything to eat or drink or that was shiny.

 me and africa!!!!
 there were baby monkeys and geriatric monkeys. All intriguing.


 these flowers were fascinating!
 We had taken a taxi to go up the rock, but decided to hike back down. Completely worth it!


 What else to eat when in the UK but fish and chips?

 Pretty kitty!
 They still use pounds there. Beautiful money, and it made me think of my dear grandma. I didn't get to show her the hummingbird.
 By the time we got back to the boat, the rain finally decided to show itself, and we were glad for the blessing of good weather the whole day!
 The rock looked much colder at the end of the day, so we did what the brits do, cup of tea!
 and a game to tide us over until dinner.
 Then we finally got a bit dressed up
 Four foul

 Cheesecake and Creme Brulet

 Escargo... mmmmm!

Quite the lovely trip!

The end of Mahon Day

And here you can see our lovely ship...

...docked at Menorca...

...on a beautiful day in November...

...and after we had walked as far as we could, we had lunch on the ship again...

Ok. So we had 2 lunches. Definately worth it!

On board they were getting ready for a dance night

While we played Scrabble

And then dined in the formal dining room

Scallops

Cornish game hen

And a lovely glass of wine to end the evening!
