Things don't go to plan on my short visit to Gibraltar...

Landing at Gibraltar Airport has long been on my list and today it finally happens! I also had a nice wee hiking trail planned for my short time here, but as you'll see, that idea gets smashed by The Rock. These things happen and it's my own fault for allocating zero time here, but come and watch me suffer anyway :)
If you are planning a trip to Gibraltar, I'd highly recommend it, such a cool, unique place to visit, and SO much more to see than what I had the chance to show you today. My whole visit was planned around walking the Mediterranean Steps, and I had just about enough time to do that and no more, so when things went a bit awry, I ran out of time pretty quickly! But the history, monkeys, caves, suspension bridge, beautiful beach with Saharan sand, views, architecture, mix of cultures, there really is a lot to love about this place, so if you learn anything from this video, make it to stay here a bit longer than I did! (and to book your accommodation well in advance or like me you might have to retreat across the border to find affordable lodgings).
Flight Details:
EDI GIB EZY6933 4 Oct 2022, 07:10 11:35 Seat 14F (for a while!) £45.98
I'll be back next week with a look at a Spanish overseas territory not too far from Gib. Forgive me for a less than energetic video today, I left the house at 1am to catch this flight :D

Your adventures help me see the world while I am limited on where I can travel due to health issues. I really miss adventures to new places. Any adventure of yours is a good adventure. Side quests and last minute changes make it all the more exciting. Learning where to go and what to do through you tube is a lifeline. So stop being rough on yourself and enjoy the moment.

[@steve-marsh]

Cheers for that! I think on the day I was just very hot and bothered and gutted I couldn't show you what I planned, but like you say, that's what travel is all about eh!?

Yes. Enjoyed this adventure. Thanks for toughing it out for us. Reminded me of that no sleep sleeper train ride. ;). So it’s all in perspective. You’re making memories. Rocket Gibraltar.

We watched your Gib video when it was first uploaded and grinned from start to finish. Last Friday we managed to achieve our goal of visiting Gib and seeing it for ourselves. We saw the town, the beautiful old buildings, the marina and the airport. We walked across the runway and watched a plane take off. What a pleasure. Memories that will last a lifetime. Thanks for the inspiration Steve! Andrew and Emma 😁

I booked my Faroes trip the same week after seeing your trip there. I had studied the language for years and never plucked up courage to go. Life-changing. Just watched this and booking trip to Gibraltar. Your videos are fabulous (even if you think something went wrong in this one!). Thank you so much!

[@167curly]

My only time in Gib was on one-day stop in a West Med seaonal relocation cruise, and then on to Madeira and Miami for the winter Caribbean season schedule. We walked a mile or so from the cruise dock into town including the runway crossing under grey skies to learn that the cable car was closed due to rain and high winds, so we went shopping in those British shops for reading matter on the cruise and both bought leather blazers. Rather a disappointment, though we definitely helped the Gibraltan economy! Glad you saw the Barbary apes. It's said that if they leave the rock, the British will too.

[@simonwhitlock9189]

The day was not a total loss we got to see that magnificent view from atop the rock and your accommodation looks great, thanks for taking us along and stay safe, cheers.

Thanks so much Simon! I was gutted at the time, but these things happen and all part of travel :)

[@SuperHatters1]

A great, well presented vlog. We went to Gib last April and the road tunnel is now open, so only pedestrians cross the runway. We loved it so much, we're returning in May. Saved money on flights (thanks to my lad working at Easyjet) so we're staying on the Sunborn as a one-off to celebrate a big birthday. Annoyingly, we have an airport the other end of town but they no longer fly to Gib & the train to Gatwick costs more than the flights. Hopefully, the wife will pluck up the courage to go up the cable car this time

[@hamishmills2813]

When I was working in Inverness people used to say Gibraltar fell under the Highlands region for several shops, including morrisons so they managed the shops in Gibraltar from the Inverness or Perth office, always found that interesting.

Crossing the runway on foot way back in 2000 was a memorable experience, especially when on our return we watched countless smugglers hiding cigarettes on their person before going through the frontier 🥴 We so liked exploring all aspects of Gibraltar and “the rock”. Thank you for rekindling many memories. Oh, did you know that a new passenger tunnel opened this year. No more crossing the runway on foot anymore.

You may have been disappointed in your day in Gibraltar, but I wasn’t! I have never been there so had no idea about the runway/road situation and truly enjoyed the views from the Top of the Rock.

Hi Steve, Another amazing tour. It just seems to get more interesting. The views etc. are beautiful, unreal to see the vehicle road crossing the runway. Never seen it before. You just give a different perspective of the places you visit. Your channel is second to none. It has always been my philosophy to stay in reasonable priced accommodations when traveling. It is no use spending a few hundred pounds just for a place to sleep only. Keep it up Steve, it is a pleasure to watch your travel escapades . 👌👍

As someone who both worked and lived in Gib preplanning the Med Steps would have saved you a lot of Time and trouble. A cab ride from the Airport to the Pillars of Herculese or a Bus ride could do the same. While I was stationed in Gib with the Military we used to climb the Med Steps at least once a week. Later in life I returned to Gib to live and work there for a few years. I enjoyed it and would return again sometime before I am measured for my Coffin.

[@JuneSivell]

I went to Gibraltar in the 1970's and thoroughly enjoyed my holiday. It was not so built up then, and they. the Gibraltarians certainly did not want to go back to being Spanish. Went to the Casino on the rock where I won £22 on the fruit machine, bearing in mind it was the 70's it was a nice win, and the cave which was spectacular. The monkeys are something else had to be careful of how much you declared to them. Also went to the Trafalgar cemetery still being kept all those years later. I really did enjoy that holiday.

[@vivianhughes9347]

Not an "awful video" at all! Thoroughly enjoyed it. Great footage of the landing. I know you were disappointed, but thanks for recording it and showing us around. New to your channel so I have quite a lot of catching up to do! Better than any TV travel shows! Cheers. Vivian

[@derekbleeker4307]

No need to apologize we enjoyed the view and journey 1👍

[@OtterlyInsane]

I've spent a lot of time in Gib over the years. There is a much easier walk to the top of the rock from town, up the Union Jack steps. It's also worth going to see the Northern Defences which have been cleared over the last few years, before that they were known as the jungle and your parents would give you hell if they knew you'd been there.

[@steve-marsh]

Ach I wish I'd had more time to explore! (and a better idea of how to get where I was wanting to go) I was just following a very rusty memory from an enjoyable trip to the Med Steps :)

[@Andymac1701A]

He's right about the signage though. I think you need to allow a little more time to get your bearings with Gibraltar. There is a lot to see in a very small space, but you are better off asking the locals, or get on a bus and ask the driver, they are fantastic, they know everyone and everything, and the passengers will definitely get involved in helping you.

[@XMehun]

I've been here before and its an experience you have to do, the British culture so close to spain is such a unique feeling, also theres police and policia there...some very cool and random querks. The hike up the rock can be achieved by cable cart, taxi or the obvious walking, I walked up and in the summer/april times, it can get pretty hot so have some food and drink with you, some excellent views from above and meeting the monkeys near the top is worth it in my opinion.

[@johndare3576]

About 20 years ago I used to be a holiday rep and worked for a while in southern Spain. I used to nip across to Gibraltar about once a month to stock up with British food items from Sainsbury’s. I used to leave my car on the Spanish side and walk across because it was so much quicker than going through Spanish border control with a car.

[@steve-marsh]

Nice! I remember going there when I lived in Spain and it was so comforting to be able to buy British food in a British supermarket - a much as I love Spanish food, it's amazing how quickly you miss home!

Being able to adapt is skill valuable to travelers, and I can say I’ve learned more about Gib in the last few minutes than at any other time over the past few decades. Except for a chase scene in a Bond flick, this is the most I’ve ever seen of the place. Thank you!

Awww, so sorry you couldn't go up into the trails, but I love the photos and captions with the Macaques. I love the one who was channeling your disappointment and the one eating the potato chips. We did this trip about 4 yrs ago, went to the top, ate a great lunch at some restaurant there, watching the planes on the runway, which was super cool. I did have a hitchhiker on my backpack, apparently my daughter left something (food) in my side pocket and this big fella jumped on me, no matter how fast I tried to swing/spin myself he never fell off. I bet I am on lots of videos or photos, but will have to make a plug for LLBean's great backpack, not a tear or mark from the macaques claws. Best parts was the meal and of course seeing all the macaques, though walking across a runway like that was pretty darn cool too. Safe travels Steve, here's hoping you can do it again some day!

Great video Steve. Visited Gibraltar and La Linea in June, had a great time. We did a coach tour which took us to Europa Point and to the top of the Rock. It was also good to get our passport stamped in La Linea.

There are online booking bag storage options in Gib, I've used 'radical storage' in Ocean Village area. The bus you took to Europa point actually stops very close to the windmill hill/Jewish cemetery entrance to the nature reserve, which is where you access the med steps. It isn't impossibly far from the cable car station to reach the top of the med steps if you wanted to do it in reverse. That Engineer road closure was catching out locals as well as tourists 😂

Thanks so much for the info Oliver! I need to have a better Plan B in place for next time!

Just before the pandemic we tried to drive Gibraltar and back from Antequera in a day. Got in sight of the Rock and decided to turn back. It was a long drive and we wouldn't have had any time left in Gib but now looks like turning around was the right decision! Again a brilliant video and we all now know the origin of the term 'going ape'.

[@steve-marsh]

Oh absolutely! I don't think that's a fun border crossing in a. vehicle, especially if short on time!

[@vivellasmum]

Well that was educational, I had no idea about Gibralter & will never go there! No video of yours is ever awful Steve stop being so modest! 😂 Looking for the 2nd one now....

Wow Steve, you found a new way to suffer for us. I really feel for you in this video. Plus your normal excellent organisational skills let you down for once! Loved the view of the landing as the scale of the rock is hard to judge. Great cable car ride showing how high it is. Saw some bond locations up the rock though so very worthwhile. Can't wait to see where you go to next. Allan.

[@steve-marsh]

Cheers Allan! Really lacking a 'plan b' in this one :D

[@BarneyLeith]

You have my sympathy, Steve. And it wasn't a "terrible" video! It's always interesting to see places that we don't always get the chance to travel to, even if you weren't able to make it to the one place you really wanted to show us. It's a few years now since my wife and I spent a few days with friends in Gib. We were also able to spend some time in their beach house along the Spanish coast and take a trip up to Ronda. But we didn't get to see the Mediterranean steps! Looking forward to the next instalment...

[@steve-marsh]

Thanks Barney! I was disappointed at the time, but it was still a fun adventure!

[@johnbarrett5268]

I love Gibraltar been there manytimes

[@Emy53]

Those steps were awesome

[@whitespider8523]

I know it wasn't what you wanted, but I really enjoyed rhe video. I was quite pleased you caught the cable car as I was beginning to feel shattered for you. Looking forward to next part.

[@steve-marsh]

Haha thanks, a wee bit of luxury for my poor legs :D

[@acousticsoundz1985]

No need for an apology. Your video was great as usual. Actually, all your vids are great.

[@steve-marsh]

Really appreciate it, thanks!

[@therookeryvanlife5612]

Steve, you said this was an awful video but that’s just not true. Those views from the top of the cable car were fantastic. Thank you for taking us along. I’m sitting in a cubicle!
