What is all the fuss about?

The tour decided to go and visit Gibraltar just to see what it was like. A long 3 hour 40 minute bus ride later the tour arrived.

To cut a short story shorter, if you were to take Arnold, drop a bunch of rock in it and then bring in a few monkey's along then you would have Gibraltar.

There is a good cable car ride to the top of the rock with spectacular views over the town and across to Spain. Apparently you can see Africa on a good day, unfortunately for the Blog it wasn't one of those days.

The Blog thought it all felt a bit odd to be back in Britain when you were really still in Spain. Everything is so British and the pound is the currency. Very odd.

There are many many shops selling very cheap alcohol and tobacco. Most followers of this blog will not be interested in this or necessarily happy about it but a packet of cigarettes that costs £10.50 in Netherfield costs £2.90 in Gibraltar. Now is that fair?

The Blog really does have to wonder why it is we, Britain, are so keen to hang on to this place that is very much like every other Midland town? Should it not be given to Spain to look after?

The Blog hopes it is ok to be a little controversial given it is probably the last blog and the other 10 have avoided any sort of even minor controversy.
