Tuesday, 5/7. Busy day. Lots of photos and a video. Drove to Gibraltar, which exceeded expectations. The cable car was closed for maintenance so we signed up for the “Taxi Tour”. Took us up and down the Rock with several stops and prepaid visits to a couple exhibits. St. Michael’s Cave was very interesting. It seconds as a music hall. A section of the cliff was dug into by engineers to build gun emplacements, which now looks down on the airport. Walking across an active airport was once-in-a-lifetime thrill. (Why do it twice?) The Rock is filled with history. I need to buy a book.
Plane taking off was exciting.
Visiting the Tio Pepe Winery in Jerez. “Sherry” is the bastardized word the English created from “Jerez”. A bit boring, but a nice stop. I couldn’t drink anything. Rather, I couldn’t swallow any of the wine.
In a first, we’re staying in a hotel with very little English spoken. Also, we need to drive into Seville tomorrow. We’ll manage.
