Barbary Macaques/ tailess monkeys

Cheeky Monkey, he's up to no good.
The apes are tailess monkeys, properly know as Barbary macaques.  They roam freely through out the nature reserve.

The stalactites looked colored by lights shining on them.

St. Michaels Cave, Gilbraltar

Here we are in the entrance into the Grotto of limestone stalactites named St. Michaels cave. It sits 300m above sea level and is apart of the upper rock nature reserve.  It was amazing to see this natural wonder.

The Rock of Gibraltar!

Part of the Port on the Alantic side of Spain.
It was view was amazing from the top, you could look down below to see the port.
This was a scary drive up to the top of  the Rock.
