Day 44 - Powerless

From our hotel balcony we had a great view of the rock and we could see that a good portion of it was covered in a thick fog meaning we couldn't see the peak. Our plan was to take the cable car up there but we didn't rush out, instead we waited for the weather to improve.
We ended up spending the morning looking for a land line to make a reverse charge call to K's bank as they had mistakenly put a stop on her account. After trying the hotel, the post office, the tourism office and a cyber cafe we gave up looking for a phone we could use and just used our Spanish sim which luckily still had enough credit. 

At lunch time we walked over the border again and took a bus to the start of the cable car. We stopped for lunch only to be told all the power on Gibraltar was out, at which point we noticed that the cable car also wasn't working. K caught the bus back to the border and went back to the hotel to do some research on our next destination (Morocco) which we were heading to the next day, while M took a different bus and did a little more sightseeing, going to the end of the peninsula and into the historic town centre.
