Gibraltar: Rock Your Holiday Cruise

Mon, 05/30/2011 - 21:07 — Anonymous   Gibraltar—the Rock—can
be called “a little slice of Britain” in the Med. This island
included in many Mediterranean cruises has been a military stronghold fought
for vociferously many times. Fortunately, “Gib” offers you a bit
more than just forts and shells.   Explore the Moorish Castle and the
astounding Gibraltar Museum for not only the island's military history but
its prehistory as well.   Ride a cable car up to Europa Point and meet the
Barbary Apes, which actually aren't apes at all but the very mischievous and
famous monkeys. Don't miss seeing them: Gibraltar is the only place in the
world you can.   In the island's interior, you can travel more miles on the
roadways than you can on the outside of the island. See the Great Siege
Tunnels that protected people and supplies during the world wars and
especially St. Michael's Cave. Find out why that particular location is
famous when you tour it.   Of course, you can also visit Nelson's
anchorage—where his body was taken after the battle of
Trafalgar—and the Parson's Lodge Battery, dating back to 1875.   You
can book passage on a quick trip to see whale watching in the Straight as
well during your nine-hour stay before your ship sails again to yet another
destination.   While sailing, you can enjoy the full amenities on
board—numerous restaurants, leisure activities, bars and nightly
entertainment.   Don't miss your opportunity to experience this
