Vanesa describes her school trip to Gibraltar where they took a coach up the mountains, stopped to see a lighthouse, and had fun taking photos of monkeys, one of which climbed on her head. While there, she notes the currency is pounds and pennies featuring Queen Elizabeth II, and differences from home like public bins and meeting a nice police officer. The streets were well-kept with detailed balconies, though not everywhere was clean, and she found the trip good and interesting, realizing how different cultures can be close but also far.
