London, England

In March 2014, Drew & I dropped the dogs off at the boarders and headed down to Nuremberg, to head to London, England. This was our first flight with Ryanair. Ryanair is fantastic! It was under 200 euros RT to London Stansted. It was a 2 hour direct flight, of course one of the things I remember about this trip was how I was so sick. 2 days before I had finally called sick out of work only to find out I had a sinus infection! Flying, or traveling of any kind while you are sick is just the worst!
We arrived in London early afternoon, gaining an hour since Germany is an hour a head of England. Since England is not a part of the European Union we had to go through customs (make sure when traveling you have the address of where you are staying, IDK why they asked for it, but they did) and I got another stamp in my passport. :)
London Stansted is an hour out of the city of London. I did research and found a bus that would take us to the main train station, Victoria station, and from there we could use the tube to our hotel. Only thing, was that the lines were incredibly long and when we finally got to talk to someone, he said that it was better to take the tube on our own because our hotel was no where near where they would drop us off. So we followed the signs (Everything's in English! YAY!) and found the train.We talked to the cashier and told her where we wanted to go, and she gave us directions and the tube station where we wanted to go to.

Gibraltar, Gibraltar

We woke up from a good night sleep semi-early (we're on vacation after all) and packed up our things to head down to Gibraltar. 

Costa De Sol
We packed up the car plugged in "Gibraltar" in to the GPS and we were off. We drove along the Costa De Sol, catching glimpses of the ocean. We stopped for gas up on a hill and could see the coast. I, of course, wanted to take a picture. Drew humors me a lot and drove up the hill to get a clear view of the top. But as luck would have it, it was windy and cloudy. Weather wise it was cloudy and raining, just plain dreary.  A rain storm had passed through the night and according to my weather app it was supposed to clear up by then. No such luck, I took a picture anyway.
