1 8am flight, so I stayed at Ibis near Heathrow on Friday night
2 in Gibraltar, about to walk across the airport runway into town
3 Landport Tunnel into Gibraltar, used to be the only entrance other than by sea
4 Main Street - a lot of Spanish citizens over for the day I think
5 lighthouse at Europa Point
6 Mosque of the Two Holy Custodians at Europa Point
7 looking back at Europa Point from near Jews' Gate; Morocco is in the haze in the distance
8 on the Mediterranean Steps, looking north here
9 looking east now - some very steep steps, refurbished in 2007
10 at O'Hara's Battery, looking west to the heart of Gibraltar now; this is the highest point of the Rock at 426m
11 Algeciras, Spain in the distance
12 inside St. Michael's Cave; Neanderthal skulls have been found here, meaning early man was probably in the caves around 40,000 BC
13 stalactites on the ceiling
14 Barbary Macaque lounging in a rather dangerous position
15
16 this one stole my water bottle and pried the top off with his teeth before dropping it and spilling all the water
17 bottom of the cable car; Queen's Hotel is to the right of the parking lot
18 view of the airport and La Linea, Spain from inside the Great Siege Tunnels
19 the "Notch" in the Great Siege Tunnels; the British defended Gibraltar from the French and Spanish for almost 4 years during the American War of Independence
20 another ape relaxing; it was a 30 degree day
21 Moorish Castle's Tower of Homage
22 Diamond Jubilee this weekend
23 Casemates Square on Sunday morning - deserted after being as busy as Main St. yesterday

31 Tangier's port viewed from a lookout on the north end of Place Mechoir in the Kasbah

33 Old Medina straight ahead
34 back in Tarifa, beautiful room in Hotel Convento
35 Puerta de Jerez
36 dinner at La Pescadería
37 sunset over the Atlantic
38 I'm pretty sure this is Jebel Musa in Morocco, likely one of the Pillars of Hercules, the other being the Rock of Gibraltar
