Gibraltar

 At the bottom of Spain. Lies the British Territory of Gibraltar.  We decided to use the private driver to see the rock and stopped along the way.   There were monkeys everywhere and we had a few run ins with them.  

Things we learned about Gibraltar: 


Gibraltar 


Hercules Pillar :He pulled the continents together using two pillars to protect from sea monsters 


Every 6 years the water turns over


If you went East passed the straight of Gibraltar it is where the world ended and you would sail off the flat world. 


Monkeys protect other monkeys and can bite.  

A Monkey jumped on Miah to steal her water bottle.  He proceeded to grab it. Took the cover off and dump it all over her.  Then. Two of his body guards snuck up from behind and bit her through her jacket on the underside of her arms.  


Another monkey stole johns eyeglasses and ran off.  













St Michael’s caves has a rock formation that looks like an angel and a cool light show inside. 


There are a cute bunch of turtles in the pond near the castle. 


Atlantic is colder so it goes under the Mediterranean which is why you do not see water changes where the Atlantic meets the Mediterranean 


Air burst shells explode into the air and rain down.  They were invented there 


Grand siege lasted three years. 


The runway goes across the road and traffic is stopped when there is a take off or landing.
