Gibraltar was really enjoyable with a chance to pop myself down in the shade and do a little sketch of a canon on a rock in the square. Just the job; relaxation, warmth, and no pressure
The excursion was great fun, made so by the lovely man who drove our coach on the Celebrity Cruise ‘Panoramic Gibraltar and Tea’ trip. If you ever go on that one, then ask for the Brit who works in Gibraltar, speaks English and Spanish, lives in Spain and studied in Liverpool. What a truly lovely guy, the best £65 for two that I have ever spent. Calypso Tours was the company and they run two coaches due to the narrow streets in Gibraltar to be towards the front of the queue in order to get the great tour guide come driver. We walked back from the centre to the port and continued to enjoy what the girls would call ‘the lush weather’. The fun continued into the night with live music outdoors by the main pool area.
In fact it was around 0300 when we settled down. “Oh” said Mrs B, “we’ve done Gibraltar and we spent £4.50”. Now that’s one good thing about a cruise, you sort of put a ceiling on the costs and there’s no need to go out and keep spending. Although to be fair there’s always an opportunity, especially when it comes to Welsh Gold. You see its Mrs B’s 50th this year. Shush, don’t tell everyone as no lady tells the World her age.
