There are two reasons why I don't look forward to calling into Gibraltar, firstly, I can't stand the macaques and secondly it means the cruise is nearly over as this is traditionally the last port of call.
We arrived in port this morning at around 8am and as the ship was due to leave at lunch time we decided to go ashore at the earliest opportunity. Having visited Gibraltar on several previous cruises we attempted to get to the Moorish castle located high up on the Rock.
Despite climbing several such flights of steps as these the castle seemed as far away as it did from the bottom, so we cut our losses and headed back down.
Walking through the town I was determined to get some photos of the macaques to add to the blog but we could not find any. Perhaps these notices which I had not noticed previously meant that they now stuck to their homes on the rock.
In fact the only apes that we spotted were Aaron's favourites hanging in the shops.
P&O cruises are famous for their sailaways and the one from Gibraltar has to be seen to be believed containing as it does patriotic songs from all four corners of the United Kingdom. With the entertainment team leading from the stage the passengers join in with gusto, giving the bar staff a great opportunity to sell more drink and the photographers to take more snaps.
Two more days at sea until we arrive back in Southampton on Sunday.
