WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 27, 2008:
It was about 1:00 P.M. when we got to Gibraltar on a sunny, but very hazy day.
The first thing I did was ride the tramway to the top of the Rock.
The views from the top of the Rock of Gibraltar where great.
But unfortunately we could not see the coast of Africa on the other side of the strait due to the haze.
The Barbary Macaque population in Gibraltar is the last in the whole of the European continent.
At present there are some 230 animals in five troops occupying the area of the Upper Rock.
As they are a tailless species, they are also known locally as Barbary Apes or Rock Apes despite the fact that they are monkeys.
Our short but very enjoyable visit to this very small country ended around 6:00 when we sailed away.
