Trip to Gibraltar - October/November 2008 - a very small selection from about 1,000 photos and film clips :-)

Quick, quick - get up to the bar grill before the foot passengers drink it dry! There were a lot of snow ploughs in evidence
After the "get there early" - "sorry, ferry is going to be late" fiasco, Bob is delighted that the bar is still open and serving beer Spain a bit cooler and wetter than forecast - snow near Madrid
It's not Spike's fault I am allergic to him Bob marching up and down with my brolly
If this is Cat, we must have arrived - and found somewhere to park - Casemates - still raining?
It was howling a gale on Friday First parking slot - we managed to move it a bit nearer after a couple of days
No-one sitting outside at the Lord Nelson today? Here is Bob, checking up on my car parked near the bull ring - where's the little chap gone, leaning against it whilst waiting for the tobacconist to open?
Ran into the rocks in a gale on 10 October 08 Bob, Gav and Cat at Europa Point
Off to Europa Point on the bus to look at the MV Fedra - can you see Cat and Gav, trying not to fall over the edge? Looking across at the Atlas Mountains
Is that your new empire building game, Gav? Gav and Cat had nipped over the road
Back at the Flat - relaxing Another trip over the border to Gib
Looking up via Casemates to the Moorish Castle We spent many happy hours here, doing choir practice
No gharries here any more - but there's a model at the museum Holy Trinity Cathedral
Looking for cruise liners in the bay Lights from Algeciras across the bay
Walking over the airstrip - morning Walking over the airstrip - evening
The sun glasses covering the eye problem! Africa having its own version of the Levanter
Start of our walk up Engineer Road - inset - 1962-ish View across to the Atlas mountains
This is all new since I lived here They were cleaning up the debris from the 10 October storm
Me and him at the "Pillars of Hercules" Parson's Lodge from Camp Bay
Sea looking very green We saw a fair few of both varieties of dolphin
Off with the Dolphin Safari again Three dolphins - are they common or striped?  (not sure!)
Heading back for the harbour The Fedra is still there, then -
Bob got a bit wet from the spray - it was a bit choppy Back at Europa Point - Bob catching up on his reading
Atlas Mountains, lighthouse and both bits of the MV Fedra Still raining in Bilbao? It had been glorious sunshine in Gib!
Walked up the road to get a better view point Skipped a bit - here we are at Bilbao (Santurzi) - drove overnight, including the dodgy road block
Sorry, Bob! We saw more dolphins from the ship again
Breakfast in the Cafe Olivos - those croissants were delicious Last day at sea - it was warm and sunny on deck - pity about the weather driving home - poured with rain all the way north from Portsmouth
