Gibraltor is so true to it's meaning
It is outstanding beautiful and massive
It is standing out on the coastline as a marker more than Table Mountain could ever
On reaching this little British colony we fell in line to enter for the day with our UK visas valid for 6 months
Just to be turned away with a warning that only Gibraltar specific visa or a British 1 year valid visa grants entry to this enclave
But we are very close to the foot of this majestic rock outcrop
I fully understand the British obsession with keeping Gibraltar
It is strategically positioned you can see with your open eyes the coast of Africa on the horizon 14 km away
All ships passing through the Suez canal and meditiranian traffic has to pass here
Even submarines have to pass here and all is under the watchful eyes of the UK
We saw lots of Spanish buyers heading do shops on the small island and the usual Mega Cruise Liner empty it's hold of passengers to stream on shore an do the shopping
We are truly convinced now that the saying like a the Rock of Gibraltar has a lot of meaning to it
It is awesome !!!!!
