Ash Wednesday in Gibraltar

So getting close to our leaving day and then back home to floods rain cold ahhh

We walked into the city first thing and after a coffee sitting outside The Royal Calpe pub we went to find the museum. We noticed people with a black cross marked on their forehead. Presumably to mark the first day of lent Ash Wednesday

The museum was a pleasant surprise. It looked at first sight small and uninteresting but as we explored each room and outside and up to the top floor we saw and understood much better the history and making of Gibraltar. We have bought a joint ticket so tomorrow we can go to Gorhams cave over view to learn about the evidence of Neanderthals on Gibraltar.

On the bus again we visited Europa point and walked around the area and sunbathed.

3 long sunny days since Sunday .

Another walk into the city late afternoon for “English traditional fish and chips” at Rays. Well worth a visit they are delicious…. can we fit one more time to go there I wonder?

Now I’m sitting on the balcony of our hotel room in the evening sun and hoping for a lovely sunset. Last nights one was extraordinary and so deep red.

We both wish we could have another week here!
