Finally have some broadband so can post some stuff.
I am a couple behind so will post our latest travels first and catchup later.
We travelled from Seville, in Spain, to Gibralter which is under British rule.
The road to the rock was really hilly with a massive two lane carriageway most of the trip. High winds in the Highlands. We crossed into Gibralter through immigration who asked for our passports. They glanced at them and smiled us through.
Here is a view from Gibralter looking out towards the south tip of Algiceras in Spain.
The streets through Gibralter are narrow and full of parked cars, motor cycles and vans. We managed to drive through to lands end without incident.
Arrival at the end was great. Plenty of parking and not to many tourists. A few people taking selfies but little else.
Gibralter has more history than Shakespeare. Neanderthal man lived here, Phonecians, Romans and pirates were here, and finally old blighty took over.
Here are some more pics and info plates.
Behind Linda are all the ships anchored waiting to enter port. Thats not all of them.
Neanderthal man was here first
Phonecians and other ancient people's also landed here.
Then the Romans made themselves at home.
Pirates and others in the 1500s
Finally Old Blighty
It was funny to hear English accents sofar from home.
After this little stop we drove north around the rock and headed back into Spain to our next motorcamp.
That's another story.
