 10/28/22 We started the day cleaning all of the canvas so it would be dry by the end of the day for stowing. With that chore done we decided to take the tram up the Rock of Gibraltar and check out the caves and monkeys. The line at the tram was pretty long and there was a tour bus alternative that was readily available. 8 people piled into the van and we were off, quickly climbing the steep one-way road up to the top of the rock. First stop was Hercules Pillars where, in mythology he parted the mountains and created the Strait of Gibraltar. Next, we climbed to St Michael’s Caves, a fabulous light show was made against the stalactites and stalagmites. At the caves we got up close and personal with these unique monkeys. They are interested in only one thing, your food, even though they are well fed by the care takers. We climbed nearly to the top of the Rock where we could see into the Med. Sadly there was a damaged ship that was grounded and being dismantled just off the shore....
