Scooter ride around Gibraltar

Post by Deleted User 7077 »

On my wish list wanted to do it on last Spain scoot trip but not enough time and hadn't got mile muncher scoot at time .Still haven't :lol: :lol: I've been in twice by car when been on holiday down there but only to cable car to go up the rock .Its weird that can have pie n chips in a pub pay in pounds but can see Africa across the water .Guys not English but speaks good English probably appeal more to us oldies .

I'm still remembering that Irish tourettes fella who rode his SH300 to Gib and back and posted it in a youtube series! He spent a day there! :lol:
I wake up every morning with a smile upon my face,
My natural exuberance spills out all over the place!

Roads typical of Britain full of pot holes and deviations - Gibraltar looks like an urban mess - can honestly say I shall never ever visit that dump

I can recommend the minibus tour of the rock .First time we went up on cable car second time cable car wasnt running so went up in minibus was 4 of us so had it to ourselves .Its more expensive but worth the extra and you'll see more monkeys as they know minibus means food .Yes Irish guy had good ride around the rock on his SH300 .I was amazed he didn't start looking for accom until evening time .Its not worth riding thro France scoot on ferry to Bilbao not that expensive off season. Probably be next April May do Algarve as well I have booking for October if letting tourists in by then but accom already booked and paid near Cambrils and Vilanova again .

Another useless fact as you drive towards it from Malaga everywhere is in sunshine with a cloud over Gibraltar. Its caused by warm damp air coming in from the sea hits the rock and forms a cloud .Obviously cloudy day all around when they went in and usually queue to get in and out thro border.Very strict on way out due to duty free status of Gibraltar.
