Today we had to go up the rock again to show Nigel the apes. So we went to the cable car and headed up the rock. The apes once again were being photogenic and the young ones were very playful. After admiring the view we went for a bit of a walk along the top of the rock, before heading back down into town.

 

We then went back to the boat for a bit of a rest before having a late lunch at one of the marina restaurants. We then walked Nigel across the runway to the airport. Nigel commented that it was one of the most pleasant journeys to an airport he has ever had. Back on the boat we saw Nigels plane take off. We waved but couldn’t see him wave back.
