Estepona – day 5

Today was our last day in Estepona so we were up earlish and down by the pool in order to catch the sun.

We had a late lunch and then headed into Gibraltar. We left the car in Spain with our luggage in it and walked across the border into Gibraltar.

You have to walk across the runway once you’re over the border which feels a bit weird. Luckily the airport isn’t that busy.

Gibraltar is obviously famous for its rock, which is 426m high, but we didnt have time to climb it and get back down before our flight. The rock is home to the Barbary Apes, a type of tail-less macaque which are the only wild monkeys in Europe

So we had a wander around the town instead.

Gibraltar has a really long main street, but to be honest it wasn’t all that interesting.

We then headed back over the border to pick up our luggage before coming back to the airport in Gibraltar. Just after we crossed the border I realised I’d left my phone in the rental car. So Jamie and I had to go back to Spain to pick it up – luckily we had left enough time.


At the airport we had a drink and then watched our plane land.


We were delayed by around 20 minutes but we had a little sleep on the plane.


It took a while to get back to the car park and then both the M23 and some of the M25 were closed. So the journey home took longer than we wanted but we all arrived safely.
