Gibraltar- A territory of UK stuck in South Spain
The start of my Africa trip began on a flight from Uk to Gibraltar for two nights. Although we could not stay in Gibraltar because of the size of our truck, we certainly spent some time there!!!!

We stayed in a little tiny campground in Spain and went into Gibraltar for the day. Even though it was only 7 Km sq, it had its fair amount of historical sites, as well as restaurants and pubs. Situated on the Iberian Peninsula, it has always been a strategic site in Europe. From the Moors, to Spanish, to British, to a decisive victory by Admiral Horatio Nelson in the Napoleonic Wars, to a strategic site during WW2, this place has seen its share of battles. Along with the aforementioned, they also have a sizable Jewish, and Muslim population that lives peacefully among one another.

They also have the only airport that you may walk across the runway from Spain to actually enter Gibraltar !!!!
The highlight of the trip of course is the Barbary Macaques which are tailless monkeys that roam freely near the top of the mountain!!!! Better watch yourself if you have food as they love to snatch things and are extremely intelligent!!!!

A great start to the beginning of an exciting trip……
