Our crew are coming in in about half an hour to an hour and so our morning was spent in chaos as we frantically cleaned up the filth (:-)) we've been living in. But it wasn't so bad because when mom was here (I forgot to mention, my mom left yesterday for St. Petersburg, FL) we had started to clean up.

But enough about cleaning up. We toured the Rock two days ago and nearly walked our feet off going up and down. It really isn't as easy as it may look like on Google Earth! We took the Mediterranean steps up to St. Michael's cave and then visited the apes and took al look at the WWII tunnels on our way down.

The apes (really tail-less monkeys) are really intelligent and know how to burgle tourists. I saw one monkey eating an ice cream cone! Luckily we were not burgled (probably because we didn't have any food), but I saw one guy actually feeding the monkeys (£500 maximum fine).

We didn't actually tour the WWII tunnels because: a) there we over 30 miles of them (not all of them are open), and; b) we didn't want to wait for the mandatory guided tour. But there we some cool photos that had been taken of life in the tunnels, and so we got a good idea of what they were like. We saw the end of some of the tunnels as we waited for the bus on the steep side of the rock. If you use Google Earth and zoom in on the cliff face of the Northern-most point on the rock, about 3/4 of the way down the cliff face there are some tunnels.

Anyway, I've written too long. Cheerio!
