Gibraltar

Hello Everyone,

We arrived in Gibraltar yesterday. Morocco was great fun but very poor, dirty and it was like Europe must have been 500 years ago. However, the food was great, the sights were amazing and we loved the little hilltop Berber village we slept in two days ago. The scenery was also lovely, with high mountains and lots of greenery. We saw lots of goats, donkeys and camels.
Gibraltar has been a bit of surprise. We went up the rock by cable car today. The scenery is amazing, there is a beautiful cave full of stalagmites and stalactites, and the rock has 300km of tunnels, from the seige in the 1700's and also from the 2nd world war. They are big enough to have housed 17,000 troops, a hospital, command centre, ammunition bunkers etc in WWII!! They were fascinating.
We leave tomorrow and will probably do about 70nm further up the coast. We will let you know where we stop, but it will probably be Puerto Caleta de Velez.

Love to all.
Arti & Dimitri
