We caught a local bus to La Linea then walked across the border to this little bit of Britain.
How many countries have you simply walked in to? We remember a few. Laos _ had to wake up the border guard then bribe him to open the crossing, Vietnam _ caught the bus from Cambodia to their border then we walked into Vietnam.
We saw all the Gibralter sights _ up to the top to see St Michaels cave, the Siege Tunnels, lots of Barbary macacques etc. The monkeys were mostly cute and some had babies. We also saw the cathedrals, museums and town centre.
A main lasting memory is on a narrow section land only metres wide, where you could stand and see the Atlantic on one side and the Mediterranean on the other. Standing in Europe we could clearly see Africa. It was an absolutely wonderful view, complete with local monkeys.
We had lunch in a British pub, prior to our return to Spain.

That sounds very multicultural - drinks in a British pub, on your way to Spain, while looking at Africa and 2 oceans. Wow. There were even monkeys. Now if only you'd found a monkey trained to refill your drink it would have been perfect.
Look out for monkeys. Graham was weed on by one in Bali. That was before the seal poo incident...
That sounds like a pretty good day, but good thing you both have short hair - I got my hair pulled by a monkey in Bali. They might look cute but stay along way away!
Maybe the Gib ones are nicer?
