Do Not Touch the Monkey || Sailing SV Goat ep 113

We spent a day off the boat, and Gibraltar turned out to be one of the strangest places we've been. You get there on foot by walking across the airport runway — an actual working runway, with a pedestrian crossing painted on it. Then through a tunnel cut into 300-year-old fortifications, and out onto a British high street with a Starbucks on it, in Spain, in 30 degrees. Up on the Rock there are wild monkeys that have decided the railings belong to them. Everyone tells you not to touch them. One of them climbed onto my shoulder and made the decision for me. They are, for the record, extremely soft. Also up there: St Michael's Cave, which is a cavern full of stalactites with a concert auditorium built inside it and a light show in purple. Fifty-two kilometres of tunnels the British dug into the Rock by hand, with the cannons still in them. And a glass viewing platform hanging over a 340-metre drop, which produced the biggest "oh hell no" of the trip so far. Next week we head north up the Atlantic coast toward Lisbon.
