Shrove Tuesday in Gibraltar and pancakes!

We are really into the Gibraltar way of life now. Up at 8am down to breakfast and a huge variety of food to choose from. Back to room for a while then out to walk down into the city to start our adventure of the day.

Today after finding the post office and a stop for coffee, we got on the bus to the border. We didn’t realise how close the airport is to the city and in fact have been very near before without realising.

We went here to get a photo of the Rock and this is what we did.IMG_4546IMG_4549

The road crosses the runway! When a plane is landing or taking off the barriers come down just like a railway crossing! We walked back to town crossing the runway by foot. It felt so weird.

We got on a number2 bus and went to the lighthouse at Europa point again. Today it is very hot and windy. The wind has changed direction. I had to buy a pair of shorts as I didn’t think to pack any.P1034651P1034650

By now it was late afternoon and we were hungry. We went to Rays English fish and chips (supposed to be the best in Gibraltar and they were very yummy)

Then as it is pancake day we had pancakes. Not as good as NewZealand last year!P1034665P1034664

Now we are back in the hotel and our tummies are so full they are hurting!

I’m a bit sunburnt for the second day running, hope this sun continues until Friday afternoon when we fly back

Love to you all xxxx

    Wow wow wow! What a sunset!
    And I confess I am jaleous of your sunburn! Here we have lightning over the stormy northern sea…

    Keep enjoying to the fullest!
