โWhile talking to my daughter, I found that one of the apes grabbed my backpack right off my shoulder. In fact, in no time at all he opened the zipper and was rummaging through it looking for food. Apparently he felt entitled to any snacks or lunch he could find. My instinctive reaction was to yell at him, โGive me that backโ and I quickly pulled it out of his hands. This proved to be the right action. If he ran away with my pack, Iโm not sure what I would have done.โ
โTraveling to Gibraltar was an extremely unique experiences due to the fact that our hired cars couldnโt cross the border so we had to hoof it. It was actually really cool, and very easy to make the journey (woe to me we didnโt get stamps in our passports). Once you cross the border between Spain and Gibraltar it really is like a completely different world. Our new driver had a Manchester-British accent and everything rings of Great Britannia.โ
โOnce in Gibraltar, an unusual experience awaits us: at a kind of railway crossing, the barriers close with a loud clang. But instead of a passing train, we have to wait for a commercial aircraft to land! After having to pass a departing plane as well, we are finally allowed to cross the runway on foot.โ
