Here we are in Gib. - Chris is going to go home from here, leaving Alison and I to poddle up the Spannish coast. Whilst he gets a flight and a strong easterly (Levante) is forecast Monday/Tuesday we will probably stay here until mid next week. The marina is the cheapest I have ever been too - which is OK too.
 
Seems to be a quiet place - went to Morrisons yesterday. It was like shopping in the UK except for the prices - Baked beans twice the price of England but gin half the price (being a duty free zone) - you can guess what I will be living on!
 
Did some of the tourism yesterday with a cable ride up the rock to see the monkeys and the views. Lots more to do yet like the World War 2 caves.
