Gibraltar.



Gibraltar is an english colony. When we entered Gibraltar, we were definitely not in Spain anymore. Everyone had English accents, we ate fish and chips, and enjoyed being able to understand what everyone was saying. They even had a Top Shop...but unfortunately it was Commonwealth Day and it was closed (I may have had a small panic attack -- Oliver had never been happier though).



While in Gibraltar we crossed the naval strip, walked through High Street, toured the caves, and toured some old tunnels that the English had built to defend themselves from the Moors, Spaniards, and just about everyone else. It was a random little place, but fun to see.



Oh, and the Moors brought monkeys when they were there. So now there are thousands of monkeys all over the place.
