I often wonder how I would cope if I had to move to an area when I had neighbours only metres away. I think I'd be insane by the end of the first week. :)Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835982875620956300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7270474694755564803.post-50467219794347485452015-08-11T20:51:39.195-07:002015-08-11T20:51:39.195-07:00Haha to the apes comment!

According to all-knowing Wikipedia, it is the 5th most densely populated country in the world, after Macau, Monaco, Singapore and Hong Kong. Too squished-up for my liking.Alexiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15405656530899442354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7270474694755564803.post-56142488579899082492015-08-11T20:42:09.375-07:002015-08-11T20:42:09.375-07:00That's a good word for the place, thunder!That's a good word for the place, thunder!Alexiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15405656530899442354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7270474694755564803.post-51620588021619361462015-08-11T20:41:49.402-07:002015-08-11T20:41:49.402-07:00Definitely, EC - very crowded - and expensive!Definitely, EC - very crowded - and expensive!Alexiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15405656530899442354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7270474694755564803.post-17663298597085260422015-08-11T20:41:19.461-07:002015-08-11T20:41:19.461-07:00Thanks for visiting, KB.

"Within a land area of only 2.6 square miles (6.7 sq km), Gibraltar has around 34 miles (55 km) of tunnels, nearly twice the length of its entire road network." The first ones were dug in the 18th century, more in the 19th, and the greatest number in the 20th, when the Rock was turned into "a huge underground fortress capable of accommodating 16,000 men along with all the supplies, ammunition and equipment needed to withstand a prolonged siege."

It's climate is similar to here other than they get the most of their rain in winter...we get ours in summer. And it has a small population...that'd suit me. :)<br /><br />Gibraltar has a lot of apes...and we have our fair share of apes down here too...so I'd feel at home! lolLeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835982875620956300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7270474694755564803.post-44764101067479711962015-08-11T15:52:03.731-07:002015-08-11T15:52:03.731-07:00Not sure about living there, but I know I'd en...Not sure about living there, but I know I'd enjoy visiting, and thank you for bringing me this close to it! Of course the macaque fascinates me, and I wonder if he drank all the water? Or mostly played with it? That is one lovely lighthouse too. It does appear to be a beautiful climate. Thanks for this tour! I keep checking in case I miss any of your posts. I must see them all. 21 Witshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00071361755673253230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7270474694755564803.post-73216058971068171132015-08-11T09:53:33.086-07:002015-08-11T09:53:33.086-07:00That's incredibly beautiful.

From google maps, I see an area to the west of Gibraltar that is labeled Seige Tunnels. Anyhow, very nice photos and would I live there? Don't know, but sure would like to visit.Strayerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08124298302997708537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7270474694755564803.post-10268414328240369182015-08-11T07:39:08.978-07:002015-08-11T07:39:08.978-07:00Spectacular, Alexia!
