On Thursday me, my daughter and another friend and kid went to Gibraltar for the day. It was Marbella Feria so everything was closed here.
We got to Gibraltar and parked in the underground Car Par just by Mc Donalds and walked through.
Straight away we found a man who did the tours up to see the monkeys. Normally its 25€ per person but we preferred to be just us, 2 adults and 2 kids and he charged us 70€.
So straight up to the caves, St Michaels Cave and the Monkeys. Ive been up here a number of times and never ever had problems with the monkeys before, but this time the Monkeys were really active and just jumping on everyone.
One big one jumped me from behind, I went flying along with my sunglasses and it really hurt my neck. Its so much better going up with the tour guides as they know how to handle them.
But normally you have to really persuade them to come on your shoulders...but not this time.
The monkeys are actually very strong and will rip your bags off you if they think food is in there.
The tour lasted about 11/2 hours. It was really good fun and great going up with the tour guide as they kids get to hear about the history etc.
He then dropped us off at the top of the shopping street where we strolled down and then took some lunch. Then the kids were driving us mad to go Ice Skating.
We found King Bastion Gibraltar leisure centre which has bowling, ice skating, fitness, cinema, its really good.
We got there at 3pm and just as we were going in everyone came off so we had the whole Ice Rink to ourselves...brilliant fun. 30 minutes, 4 of us just 6 pounds!!!
After this more shopping before heading home. Car Park bill was expensive but we had been there practically all day from 11 till 6 about 15€.
You could park outside, just make sure you have change for the metres.
Gibraltar - A Great Day Out and the King Bastion Leisure Centre makes it even better!
