Weather cr*p but mild, hotel very good, but located off the main centre so a taxi or bus ride to get anywhere.
The engine situation is not good, haven't seen anything worth a picture sionce we arrived, but a series of verry large engines at the power station down in the docks. Mostly MOD country so couldn't get a peep at them.
Tunnel network in the Rock is much more extensive than we thought, over 34 miles of them in total, some large enough to drive a small truck through.
Shops mostly tourist stuff, but we found a good bookshop where we picked up two very good references for the fortifications of the Rock.
Trafalgar Cemetery was nice (if you like graveyards....) with graves of two the dead from the Battle of Trafalgar.
Walked miles and miles, up to the very top and along the length of the Upper Rock, shrouded in mist a lot of the time but cool for walking.
100-ton gun was impressive, as were a lot of 19th Century artifacts around the place.Botanical Gardens were peaceful and interesting, a nice antedote to the tourist nature of the place in general.
The Apes are Macaques (sp) in reality, but generally quite entertaining and as long as you follow basic guidelines, very safe to be around.
St Michaels cave was astonishing, and part of the 4-hour rock tour that we paid for in our holiday package. Well worth taking, and our guide was really excellent, full of information and little bits of local knowledge.
Back home late tonight, we have taken about 100 pic's but not one engine :-((
