GIBRALTAR

Mon 23rd April.
We set off early to Gibraltar to beat the queues but with out Vidal and Gisela as
they had to go into Marbella for an important meeting at short notice; The weather
was hot and sunny and we had no problems getting in to the car park.The reason
we had gone to Gibraltar was for shopping-for me! so we headed for M/S to look
for a new black shirt and ended up with two shirts,two sweat shirts,a light sweater
and a pair of summer slacks,Brenda got a pair of trousers!! We then topped up
with the allowance of spirts and cigarettes and after a drink in the square headed
back down Main Street ,but then spotted in one of the camera shops some offers
on Digital Camera's and ended up with a Sony Cyber-Shot! The owner of the shop
set up the camera and then advised us to put it in Brenda's bag,along with the various connections and papers etc; not in the sales box for when we went through
the customs! We then set off to cross the border and as we reached the Spanish
side we were pulled over!!The Spanish Police were on one of their "Funny" days
and searched the car and boot thoroughly but not Brenda's bag!!On our way back
we stopped for a light lunch in a Venta overlooking the Mediterranean-see picture,
As we headed back past Manilva we called Mano and he was in one of the bars
with Anna and Carlos for a late lunch so we joined them for a drink and nine hours
later after going back to Carlos's appartment we set off back for home,slowly !!
