Today we spent the last full day with mom in Gibraltar. I am not sure you can make a visit to our place in Spain without seeing a little piece of the UK on the south tip of Spain. We took a tour up the rock, saw the caves, monkeys, watched the kids get attacked by the monkeys, the castle, and then had lunch at our favorite fish and chips place; Roys.
At the start of our journey... in the taxi.
Pillars of Hercules
Outside St. Michael's Cave- and the first monkeys we saw... with our tour guide (he was amazing)
Inside the cave
Aydin fell in LOVE with sausage rolls in London... and about fell over with excitement when he saw them in the little snack shop outside of the caves. He was in heaven when he got one to eat.
Mom did NOT want to walk by that monkey on the rock...
...and she had ever reason to not want to walk by it- that monkey jumped right in between her and Liam. Liam had NO clue but mom was terrified!!
(dont get mad mom... I HAD to post it! To be fair- I didnt zoom in thought like I wanted to)
She tried so many times to get the monkey to climb on her...
And when it did... it poked her in the eye and pulled her hair. I think it is safe to say- she will not be having any more monkeys climbing on her...
High five from a monkey...
Liam was so excited to see a baby monkey on the rocks (top left corner) that he was jumping and screaming...
Little did we all know that the momma monkey did not like that he was screaming at her baby and attacked Liam.... What a great mother I am- instead of helping him get the monkey off- I took this wonderful picture! Yes- that is a monkey biting his arm...
Eating!!!
Looking at the castle from our lunch table...
After lunch we stopped in the glass shop and mom bought herself beautiful hand blown champagne flutes.
Blowing glass...
Buying glasses..
They are beautiful!!
Before we walked back tot he boarder- we had to stop and get some ice cream!
