getting to Gibralter

WE have arrived in Southern Spain and we need to get to Gibraltar. The monkeys reckoned the best way was to get in by sea, scuba diving so mthat we would not be seen. We decided to set off when the3 light was fading to make it harder to detect us.

We put on wet suita and then our breathing apparatus. Theo's wet suit was a bit big, so we decided to put the oxygen cylinder inside the suit. We set off and went down in the sea to a depth where we thought we would not be seen fromn the shore. However, there appears that there was a leak in Thoe's cylinder and it started to inflate his suit. This meant that he rose to the surface and was having difficulty in swimming. All of a sudden the seam in the suit near Theo's bottom split and he shopt off at a rather high speed towards the shore. Fortunatley he was not hurt.

Although he was not hurt, Thoe did frighten a family out for a late night walk on the beach. In the half light they saw Theo and thought that he was a large shark, heading straight for them. I don't think that they have run so fast for years.

Will let you konw how we get on in Gibraltar when I get chance.

Ted.
