160318 Gibralter
neill, 00:16h
When I was in the army I never made it to Gibralter so I added it to my itinary this year.
It is just as strange as I expected. After driving for four hours through Spain you suddenly arrive in a little corner of Britain. Normal countries have barriers that come down for trains to cross the road, Gibralter has a runway crossing the road. I had to wait for a Hercules and the "tea time flight" from London to land before I could continue.
The high street looked like any English town with red telephone boxes, police in helmets and rain. And no one took Euros - pounds or nothing. All in all a very surreal experience.
