Welcome to 'The Rock'

(This is The Rock)

I just got back from another road trip to the south of Spain and Gibraltar. I spent a week away from home, and all in all it was very good.

In the space of one week, I met "top" people of huge organizations and saw monkey's with saggy tits... From 0-25 degrees.
All to say it was an interesting trip and I'll let most of the pictures speak for themselves... Enjoy!

This guy is giving us the keys to the kingdom. He stands at the border from Spain to Gibraltar.

This the view from the top of the rock. Well at least almost the top. Didn't have the heart (quite literally) nor the time to walk all the way up.

If you look closely in this pic you can see a little baby monkey in the tree.

And here is the famous "saggy tits" ape. Sorry it's not so focused, didn't want to get too close, I was a bit frightened...


And here is a shot for all you artsy fartsy people out there who like the queen...

Oldie goldies...

I've known this woman for nine years, and counting. Been through heeps of stuff together in our "heavenly" teen years. And then we met again in Rome, and still click just as well after not seeing each other for years...

In Rome there was a huge hill that we had to go down to get to the little town, and the way up was quite a feat. for anyone slightly unfit. However we found that it was a whole lot easier after a few beers. So by the end of our little escapade in Rome for three weeks, we all went home with buns of steel, and a better alcohol tolerance.
(These pictures are of Bex being too darn lazy to walk back up one of the first times we went down, so I carried her up part of the way)

My shadow and I...

These are the two children with their shadows.

Be nice to animals... Or at least this one...

Otherwise in the end the whole animal kingdom will conspire against us and they'll ALL pee on our electrical equipment. Thats right, not just our laptops, but everything else (Mp3's, desktops, cameras, etc) And if that happened, where would we be?? Take a moment to ponder about this...

Is there any such thing as too much ice cream??

Well I think the "bottom line" is that there is no such thing as too much ice cream... At least not in Italy. (I guess in my life, no matter which country I'm in there will never be the sentence "gosh there is too much ice cream...")
