Crossing the border back to Spain a security guard came on to the bus to check everyone's passport but wasn't at all interested in doing his duty. When the Blog held up his passport for examination he just turned his face away as if to say 'I'm not looking at that'. Everyone on the tour had to get off the bus with all their bags so that the bags could be checked by customs but customs were not even there. What's the point of it all, Britain?
Scrap the duty free and give the place Spain, says the Blog.
Anyway here is one of the monkeys. The question is who does he look like?
The controversial answer later.
Having been away myself to the lovely Saint Sever, Calvados, I was very interested in catching-up on this new 'edgey' blog. Normally I'd comment on each post as they popped up. But I'm in catch-up mode, so having to comment on all previous posts in a single 'super-comment'. First of all, I would like to thank the blog for yet another interesting account of his adventures overseas. It makes me feel a bit guilty that I don't manage to do something similar when I'm overseas. There are so many interesting things to report back on! Anyway I agree with the blog about Gibraltar. But it is a strategic naval defence place I reckon, so unlikely to be given up without a fight. I think the monkey looks very wise and reminds me of my Spaniel Oli (who isn't very wise). Keep the blogs coming! We like to see the world through the eyes of someone who compares Arnold to Gib. In fact I'm off to Arnold later today to pick-up a pair of slippers and a new iron from Argos. I wonder if they'd be cheaper in Gibraltar?
