It's that time of year again. They only seem to be in stock briefly.

(Today's me thanks last week's me for cancelling an early morning appointment)

Goodbye Gibraltar.

A once-off trip to a rather strange place.

Nice viewing terrace in Gibraltar airport. Going through security and you'd be thinking they'd be under pressure if there were more than four departures a day. Oodles of space (four times the size of Cork) but laid out terribly. #Speirgorm

Good morning from Gibraltar as the EasyJet from Gatwick touches down around 36mins early.

Had to put the rubbish (mainly water bottles) downstairs. Despite having separate bins there was a bit of everything in each bin. Trying to see how a backpack could belong in the green bin.

Passing the monument to the border cyclist (?) it's time to leave the EU again. #Gibraltar #Speirgorm

Easy to think that La Linea is just a strip of Polish style border shops or an old bunker or a monument to a dodgy war. And then you hop on the road train (€3) which shows a thriving town with a wide range of facilities and shops and happy people waving. #LaLinea #Gibraltar #Speirgorm

Across the border to China for my dinner.

Passed the Liffey Bar on the way - looked closed.
