Gibraltar East. This was a short walk from Grand Casemates Square (Gibraltar) to the eastern side of the rock. We walked as far as it was possible to go. The road is closed because of a tunnel collapse. The rock has thousands of sea gulls as well as the barberry apes.

We all catch the 8.55 bus to La Linea. We are not scared in the bus station. David had told it was intimidating, but it seems quite normal to us. Mini comes as well to look at the shops in Gibraltar.

Once in La Linea, we cross the border and get the Number 3 bus to Grand Casemate Square. Neil and I then set off to do the Mediterranean side of Gibraltar. The plan is to go as far as we can. If the tunnels which were impassable last time have been repaired, we shall go all the way to Europa Point. We went for about an hour before getting to a gate across the road. There was also a tunnel gated off. We don't know if this is the one that got blocked by a stonefall.

We got the Number 4 bus (Both Worlds to Rosia) back to the centre to save time. Neil thinks Both Worlds is a laundrette, which it is, but I think something else is Both Worlds and the laundry is named after it.

We had lunch with Mini in the square and I think she wished we hadn't because we set up our sandwich making arrangements as usual. Next time we'll have to eat them round the corner and then materialise.

In the evening we ate cheese and tomato on toast with caramel ice cream for afters.
