We’ve been living in Queensway Quay marina for nearly two months now, and have become used to life in Gibraltar. We’ve been up the Rock (twice) and seen the macaques, the Great Siege tunnels and St. Michael’s cave with its incredible light show.
The views from the top of the Rock are amazing – you can see Spain, and across to Morocco at the same time.
We’ve enjoyed having English shops like M&S, and have found the best ice cream shop in Gibraltar where we have been their most regular customers – to the point where we even got a lock in when they had to shut early!
There’s plenty to do here – swimming at Europa pool, bouldering, a cinema and even the Gibraltar fair. Everyone is very friendly and we’ve made friends with lots of people on the other boats on our pontoon. We’re now regulars at the Sunday night quiz in the marina (team name: Orcas’ Revenge), and Will has even joined the Gibraltar Manchester City Supporters Club (members including Will: 10).
We’ve had fun in Gibraltar, but now it’s time to move on. The plan is to head over to Morocco, next stop Tangier, and go slowly along the coast to reach the Canary Islands. The orcas seem to be heading north now, so fingers crossed for no more close encounters!
That climbing looks impressive, maybe they’ll find somewhere wilder to practice too.
How did you do with the quizzes?
Looking forward to your next adventure, say hello to Morocco for us.
