Tuesday, October 25, 2005 - A day in Gibralaltar

Being a nice day and having nothing urgent to do we decided on a day trip ti Gibraltar. Morrisons supermarket gets a visit from us 2 or 3 times a year to allow us to stock up with some items that are not readily available here or considerably cheaper. We wanted fresh meat, fillet steak and lamb in particular , so we remembered to take the cold box along with the frozen blocks and off we set. A beautiful morning for a drive, clear skies, and we had left early enough to avoid the long queues into gibraltar and particulary out, (if you can get out before 2.00 pm, you usually miss the longest lines). The motorway tolls are on winter rates, only 6.50 euros and there was very little on the road in spite of it being half term, and the Volvo open starting at Vallderama this week. As we approached La linea from San Roque I jokingly said to Bernie, "did you remember the passports?" the delay in answering then look on her face gave me the answer before she said "I thought you had them". So, when you plan your trip to Gibraltar, read all the good advice posted on this site and others. Plan carefully, but above all REMEMBER YOUR PASSPORTS!!
