Day 16 - Back to Great Britain

Lonely Planet had recommended a place that did good breakfasts in Cadiz so we thought we'd treat ourselves and give it a go. Kelly and I were feeling like we needed some fresh fruit so got the fruit salad with muesli and yoghurt. Well, when it came out it truly was a piece of art with the fruit sliced and arranged beautifully on top of the muesli and it all tasted great too! So, once again a good recommendation on Lonely Planet's part.

Our agenda for the day was to go and check out Gibraltar for the day which meant having to show our passports to get into as it is a British Overseas Territory. The way into Gibraltar is across their airport runway and just before we went to cross the tarmac they closed off the gates in order to let a plane take off so we got to then witness at close proximity a plane take off, making for an exhilarating start to our visit. Once we'd made it part the runway we wandered through the town, taking in all the English signage which was a refreshing change, although I'll confess hadn't missed the English accent at all.

Not wanting to fork out the steep admission for the cable car up the iconic limestone cliffs which are home to the only monkeys in Europe, instead taking the other steep option, the steps! It was sweltering and there was no sign of any monkeys so we had to make do with the view of the city and across the sea to Morocco instead.

supermarket to buy some familiar foods but it turned out to be quite disappointing as it was poorly stocked due to the fuel strikes going on in Spain. We did manage to find our usual baguette, cheese, pesto and tomato to satisfy us though, but we may as well have got it from Spain who do all those ingredients far better! After over two weeks in Spain we were quite excited to be able to go to a Morrison's.

We'd managed to use up our three hours parking fairly easily so we had to head off to Malaga where we'd booked in for the night. The hostel turned out to be a bit of a hippie congregation, dog included. There was awesome common areas playing chilled reggae , UB40 and the like so it was all to easy to waste away the evening with our beers and sangria's in the warm heat of the sun that seems to last until well after 9 at night. Mmm, just the way it should be!
