| Palmones to La Linea - 9 miles |
A breezy night but warm
sunshine to greet us. Our plan today is to visit Morrisons in
Gibraltar so after breakfast a quick call into Carrefour to get some
Euros then a short drive round to La Linea where there is an aire in
the marina car park, overlooking some rather posh boats. Quick cup of
coffee then we joined Derek & June to walk round to the border,
about 10 mins stroll, through the minimal formalities then onto a
waiting bus (no. 5) which happens to go past Morrisons. Got pensioner
return tickets for £1.20 each (less than half normal fare) and 10
mins later were deposited outside the supermarket.
As we're “walking”
our only purchases were items we couldn't get in Spanish supermarkets
but we did manage to fill our shopping trolley – although we also
noticed everything was more expensive than at home. Then a relaxing
cup of coffee before catching the bus back to the border, again crossing with minimal formality then stroll back to the vans.
We decided to stay
here tonight as it's very pleasant, although a tad breezy, then had a
relaxing afternoon. After tea our usual chat with D & J to decide
where next, although we can really only stop until Wednesday when we
must start back – we'll miss out Portugal this year and go up
through Spain. As for tomorrow we'll see what the day brings.
