Basquing around Bilbao

8.30 in Barcelona and by mid-afternoon we were whizzing through the northern Spanish countryside towards Bilbao. We were going to stay with Elena, a friend of a friend and to be tourists in the Basque country. Elena was waiting for us as we got off the fast speed train as she took us back to her apartment to leave our stuff there before going exploring!!

The first thing we did was to go to the Guggenheim museum, which was interesting. The puppy with made of flowers outside and the architecture of the building were probably my favourite parts of the museum. Among my least favourite exhibits was the collection of paintings which were famous paintings painted inside a museum gallery with naked women standing looking at them. Strange art.

We had lots of time to explore Bilbao, walking along the river and in the old town. We met up with some of Sam's friends for lunch one day which was really lovely too!
