Gibraltar
We arrive in Gibraltar and I discover yet another place which isn't in Europe as far as my eSim package is concerned! Virginia decided to stay on the ship so I walked alone into Gibraltar in search of biscuits for her to give her work colleagues. Nothing really at souvenir shops, the best I found was in a supermarket on the way back. Gibraltar is more a living city than a tourist trap, with UK High Street shops, and Union Jacks displayed for the Queen's Jubilee. Quite hot so I needed a shower after I got back. Lunch in the restaurant then I got a bit further with "Anna's Quest", we did the afternoon quiz with Steve and Susan (I was glad I got Rose Tyler) and also went to a cookery demonstration of coronation chicken which had a good Q&A session. We supped in the View then in the evening went to the Crew Show which was really good, better entertainment I thought than the other shows on board! I should have taken a picture.

Invasion
I did see some dolphins this day to make up for missing them and the waterspout the day before. Beautiful as they moved. Hardened sea colour shapes which leapt out of the water into existence then melted back into the waves. We walked into Gibraltar as did 1000s of others - very crowded and warm.

We walked into Gibraltar which is a very British place.
