"Rock of Gibraltar"

Gibraltar is an unusual place.  It is a territory of the United Kingdom.  To cross the border, you have to enter through Spain, and take a bus that drives right across the airport runway.

In Gibraltar, we went to the "Rock of Gibraltar" (426 meters high) and took a cable car to the top.

Climbing, jumping, and swinging all over the Rock of Gibraltar, are hundreds of Barbary Apes.  The Barbary Ape is the only breed of monkey/ape/chimpanzee in Europe.

Inside of the Rock of Gibraltar lurks St. Michael's Cave, a beautiful cave that is thousands of years old.
