The Apes of Gibraltar

Gibraltar was yet another afternoon stop on our way to a greater destination, that of Granada (which unfortunately proved to be a bit of a disappointment, as you will see there are no photos to follow). The three hours spent exploring the massive rock proved quite entertaining due to mainly the entertaining antics of the monkeys or the apes as they are accurately referred to. I could post plenty of photos of these rabies infested creatures but I will save you the boredom of monkey after monkey, a few pictures should suffice. Like humans these little guys definitely had personalities, I would sum up the trip up the rock as stepping into the movie "Planet of the Apes". These little guys were everywhere; in trees, hanging from rocks, in tourist shops and commonly on top of the cabs. To most people this would be cute but the idea of exiting a cab through the door under the legs of a large ape, which had casually decided to rest there wasn't the most appealing option (how did I know this monkey was going to jump on my back and attack me?) As long as I kept my distance and they kept theirs the Apes of Gibraltar provide a unique and exciting experience I hadn't anticipated having.
