Gibraltar - What A Rock (Walk)

Noon report for today is a bit late as it is pushing 4 PM local time. We are set to sail within the hour. Actually with the time difference, the noon report is actually being sent early in the morning. At any rate here is the report for today. We were ashore before 9 am and just returned and no tours for us. No we did it the hard (healthy) way by walking.
We started with the 2-3 mile walk to the 100 ton gun. It is one of those hugh "big bertha" type things only the English version. Before we finally arrived at it, we had passed through the centre of town, and out the South Gate where the Trafalgar Cemetery is located. The battle was actually fought in Cadiz Bar which is where we were yesterday. At any rate this is the place where the dead were buried if they were not just dumped over the side which was the normal practice. There are the marines and sailors that died from their wounds. At any rate I took lots of photos to pass on the the NOAC. After the visit to the gun, we returned to the cable car lift. We waited about 40 minutes because 2 ship's tours were there before us and it is not a continuous running lift but rather an up and down cable car! At any rate we were at the top by noon. However the clouds rolled in and it was awhile before the coast of Africa could be seen. Of course Jude (Norm take note) was afraid of the apes so we had to be careful where we went.
After taking the needed pictures we headed for the Siege tunnels at the north end of the rock but did not go it this time as we have been in them before. After that it was a stop at the WW2 tunnels which have just been opened for touring but having been in the tunnels before we carried on. By the Turkish Fort and on down the mountain. We only bought a one way ticket because we knew where we were going to be and to walk back to the lift was harder than the walk down. After that, and this is always the best part, we stopped in an off the main street British Pub and had fish and chips and of courser the local beer! Cold and tasty. More than one in fact! That was followed by walking the commercial district and a then the mile walk back to the ship.
Tomorrow is our last day at sea and then come the last 4 days which are all port days. We should be good and tired by then. As always, cheers!
