Cruise Update

Today was Gibraltar. It was hot but The Rock was there for exploring. Each family did their own thing, with personal tours to learn about the history and see the sights, including the famous apes. A stroll through town and then back to the ship.
The amazing thing about Gibraltar is their patriotic pride towards Great Britain. Everywhere there are symbols and statues, not to mention the currency is sterling. Even the Queens birthday is a national holiday.
On returning to the ship, it was almost impossible to find a sun lounger; since this was the first full day of blue skies and very high temperatures.
The boys all dipped into the pool for a while, before Daniel, Josh and Ethan went skating. Ben, Zach and Theo did mini-golf and then we all met for dinner.
Tonight's entertainment, in the Alhambra Theatre, was provided by the comedian David Copperfield. A very funny act, which was totally unexpected.
A full day indeed. Tomorrow (Wednesday) is at sea. I'll post some photos soon, so keep checking back.
