Last town - Bilbao and a great way to finish!

We decided to leave San Sebastián a day early and spend the night in Bilbao. We caught a train instead of the bus and it was a beautiful trip. It reminded me of the mountainous countryside of Japan. It took twice as long but worth the time. 

 We stayed in a very posh hotel across the road from the Guggenheim museum.  It was great looking out over this amazing building and a big floral dog.  

I loved the museum. It was such a great building and the art exhibitions were really something. 

We went for a walk along the river, through the old town and then through the commercial Centre.  

In the morning we had a very nice breakfast at the hotel and then over to the museum where I stayed there for about 3 hours. and then back to UK. 

our posh hotel - we were on 5th floor

Such an amazing building and worth reading how it came about and also about the architect 

And sculptures from my walk along the river.  

They love a building with a huge thing on top.  

This was the fitness thing along the river. I didn’t use it but I thought it was a great idea. 

This was under the bridge

And that was the end of the trip. It was great. The towns were fabulous. And now we are back in Romsey. Dominic picked us up and brought us back here.  

We are now having another bbq on the back deck and we have Andy’s dad, Drew, here too. We will be celebrating Solomon’s birthday on Saturday. 

I should tell tell you Dominic has invited Dad to Ascot on Saturday so a new suit and shirt has been bought from Marks and Spencer’s for the occasion. So keep an eye out on the news for Dad and Dominic frolicking with the Queen.
