THE ROCK! - Gibralter was not what I expected!

I decided to make a quick trip to Gibraltar. I've never been before. I had an expectation in my mind that it would be some kind of ultra British enclave, but its not at all. They voted overwhelmingly to Remain. I spotted one Union flag on the high street. I didn't do the tunnels or go to harass the Monkeys, I'll do that at a later date. Huge queue of cars to get in, but I just parked up on the Spanish side and walked across. I wandered up and down Main Street, which felt like any European town. I'll go back in 2023 and do the tunnels.

Ps our marinas are very pleasant too, filled with pubs and restaurants. We have ocean village, marina bay and queens way key. Gib is small we do have much history and restaurants 😊

@@carlahuart9536 The plan is to come back in February and stay the night somewhere. Thats when I'll do the tunnels and have more of a wander around. Thank you for the advice! I think you need to book the tunnel tours in advance. I'll work it out.

Hi Gavin, it’s been a while I don’t go up the rock, I know things have changed, so I think you are right, it’s better to arrange a tour before time, Taxis also give tours, but not sure which is the cheaper way. I don’t have a car, otherwise I wld have kindly offered to take you. It’s nice to support other KZbin users 😊

@@carlahuart9536 Thanks Carla! I'll let you know when I have my trip planned. I really appreciate the tips!

Gavin!Thank you, stunning shots,goodbye!.

[@gaborszabo5456]

The only way to see the Operation Tracer room is to message the Gibraltar Museum in advance. But otherwise, WW2, The Great Siege tunnel, and St. Michael's cave is definitely worth a visit!

[@GavCritchley]

Really useful to know, thank you...I will do that. I am back down there in March, I'll get in touch with them before. I'm going to make a long weekend of it!

We have British pubs at Main Street old pubs and in Watergardens come along for a few pints much cheaper than UK from £2.50 a pint to £3 something and £4 something on luxury places and we have the tunnels and upper rock 😅 in summer you going to suffer the heat as we are now 18 to 20 degrees .Hope to see you around.👍

Aw that’s lovely

[@christremonti]

Really enjoyed this one !

[@GavCritchley]

It wasn't at all what I expected. I thought it was going to be like Blackpool in the sun. It's nothing like that at all.

[@christremonti]

Definitely not ! The Operation Tracer stuff is fascinating, didn’t know anything about that before !

[@GavCritchley]

@@christremonti Amazing. Leaving people behind sealed up, potentially for years? You need to book the tunnel tours in advance so I'll try and do it in April or May next year. I'll probably head down on my bike, and do a bit more of an extended tour around the island and stay the night. It's 2 square miles, tiny really but with a lot of history. It was Remembrance Sunday yesterday so there were A LOT of military types in uniform around.

[@christremonti]

It’s mad, but fascinating at the same time ! Looking forward to that video 👍🏽
