Gibraltar, Spain and sailing are different when you have some young people visit, their enthusiasm and delight at the views and sights are refreshing and get hardened travelers like us to see thing in a new light.
My nephew and niece visited, he is in Spain for work purposes but traveled down to see
Glass blowing
us on his first long weekend. It was so great seeing them and they finally got us old folks to see the sights of the Rock.
The first day they were here we visited Gibraltar, we had to go to the see the Glass blowing as my niece loves crystal.
Watching them makes you appreciate the care skill required and the heat involved to make such beauty, you will never look at a piece of crystal the same way again.

We then of course took a tour round the rock and up the mountain to see the apes, caves and tunnels, fortunately it was the only day we did not have rain so could see the view.
