Day 15 - Gibraltar

 Sunday 28th May 2017
 
Early arrival and late sunrise robbed us of our best chance of seeing dolphins in the Straits as we sailed in.   
 
Today was a half day in Gibraltar.  For the first time ever there were Police on the ship by the gangway as we left the ship.  We also noticed armed police in the town as we walked through.  Today just visited the Trafalgar cemetery at the other end of town.  Nice quite oasis in the town ditch just outside the walled town, nicer then it sounds.  Only 2 burials in the cemetery directly associated with the battle.  
 
 
Back through the town, via the Gelato shop, to the ship in time for the on deck BBQ.
Avoided the traditional P&O sailaway party, and stayed on our balcony although we could still hear the sounds of Tom Jones etc.
 
Gibraltar as we sail away

Some dolphins spotted, not many and not very near so no pictures this time unless you want to see a few splashes.
 
Dinner this evening at the Waterside buffet Best of British (for the 3rd time this cruise although the menu is a bit more varied now).
