We arrived the previous evening in time for sunset:

The next morning, great breakfast, and we then walked to the Gilbraltar border across the border:

Once the border was crossed, we took the bus to the botanical garden and wildlife park under the cable car:

the bus drives across the airport runway

Speaking of runway, it's probably the only major international airport with a stoplight to allow people and cars to cross the runway in between plane landings. Spooky...

cars released right after the plane landing

fun to walk it and see the runway like this

We then took the cable car up:

lots of tunnels
