In my final full week here i took advantage of my time to head down for two very full days in Gibralter-the british colony in the south of spain. This was my first time traveling truly by myself for any length of time. Upshot of that is that i never once ate alone (except to escape monkeys) and met some great great people. Short and sweet bullet points here we go:
- overnight buses are doable
- someone bought me a round-of hot chocolate
- Walked over 5 miles and made it to sunrise over the Mediterranean
- *africa over my right shoulder
- Found my own WWII siege tunnel-explored
- *if you saw this while lost in gibralter-would you go in?
- Met great Australians, now have 2 new places to visit in my last continent
- So much history its awesome, and its English
- Amazing siege tunnels carved by hand-god bless all the historical fiction i've read it was a nerds paradise
- Carved by hand for over 300 feet to do what the brits do best-screw with the french
- monkeys-brave little buggers ripped the lunch bag from my pocket but are so cute what was i supposed to do? that wasn't rhetorical, what i did was climb to the top of the precipice and eat my lunch in windy Mediterranean solitude
- *no he is not high-just very cheeky
- cold and rainy can't stop me from seeing my history-especially when it is inside of 30 miles of WWII tunnels used to house 11,000 active troops
- Rick Steves makes connection-when people see you instantly have him in common
- Pizza hut is the best comfort food, especially in all you can eat quantities
- Fantastic trip-thanks dad!
