Perhaps 5 minutes walk without a heavy suitcase and 8 to 10 minutes if you are trundling a heavier suitcase. There is a great little cafe just over the roundabout on your way to the border. As you come straight out of the entrance seen above, head for the Rock and the restaurant is on your left. You can see the colourful signs just over the two cars on the left. If you look carefully at the rock face you can just make out the gun emplacements holes. |
