Trip to Gibraltar - yet again! - this time April/May 2009.  The challenge has been to reduce 850 photos to this small selection :-)

Ferry running late again - and the crossing was a bit rough The usual volume of traffic is evident -
Looks like Bob is in charge of all the cars waiting to board the ferry - Snow on the mountains north of Madrid
Gib, with the Atlas Mountains behind - view from Costa del Sol autopista Pavement opposite hotel
The Pillars of Hercules Me and the "Big Bag" (with "Bagger" in the background) (that's German for digger)
Walking up to Jew's Gate for the start of the climb Fantastic views down to Sandy Bay, Catalan Bay, and Spain beyond
Bob looks over the wall - walking up Engineer Road on way to Mediterranean Steps View from part way up the Mediterranean Steps
If this is Camp Bay, it must be Wednesday - Walking through to Europa Point
Camp Bay That is Bob, walking into the Keightley Way Tunnel
Half of the wreck of the Fedra is still there Me and him
Europa Point lighthouse - not in the picture is the big marquee for the celebrations for Our Lady of Europe, or the griffon vultures flying over Windmill Hill For a change - sitting outside the Tunnel in Casemates Square
Sitting outside King's Bastion Ready to be shown up by all the little girls twirling round on the ice
Cat and Gav - Gav before the shearers got to work Putting on ice skates - then we went ten pin bowling with Stew
On the beach opposite Hotel Mediterraneo Fantastic view from our balcony
All alone on the beach.  That's our seaview balcony, top second from left Fishing boat
Maybe the same boat, but they all look the same The morning was spent on Catalan Bay beach - I did some sketching
Dawn - Friday Lunch at the Caleta Palace
View across the Bay of Gibraltar to Algeciras The flowers were fantastic
Walking along the Queen's Road in the Upper Rock nature reserve Limestone and gladiolus
Casemates again The food was good
Going, going - the beard has gone Sun setting behind the harbour - Nadia and Dessi come to join us
Gav totally shorn now What would the Home Run for six look like?!
The Lord Nelson - Bob watching the big TV screen Off to the Sports Bar for a "Home Run" - for four - Cat is having a veggie burger
This area also has lots of solar panels and wind turbines Strange towers
Ah!  A windmill - must be La Mancha Across the plain - Madrid
Best bit was going up the English Channel This was before we had to wait for the destroyer to enter the harbour - another delay -
At last - sunshine, steady enough not to feel seasick - almost home Not sure why Bob is leaning to one side
