Wednesday August 29, Bilbao

 

Our Bilbao view tonight.

A very “cruisey” day after yesterday and not much to report. It was very grey all morning and rain was forecast. We decided to head back into town in the afternoon for lunch, but getting ready to leave and the heavy rain started and went on for a long time. Guess we are fair weather travellers and decided to give it a miss and hunker down for the afternoon. By 5ish the weather cleared and we went for a walk along the road….our sole activity for the day!! But made use of the free wifi and did quite a bit of research into finding cycle paths in Spain. In France our Michelin tourist map atlas had them all marked, but they are not in the Michelin guide we have for Spain. Finally found a very good website, viasverdes.com and have been learning how to use it. We are really looking forward to getting back out on our bikes.
