We are. It’s why we chose this hotel, along with its excellent location. We will ride back here from Mundako in about 7 weeks’ time.

Your plan doesn't quite show a return to Bilbao, but presumably you are leaving your bags and stands there?

My back loves it! Al liked mine so much he bought his own.

Your bike case comes with its own stand? Nice.

Great shot on your approach!

Great shot and perspective on our beautiful city! I can almost pick our our place!

Looking forward to following along! Can't wait to re-live the infamous Pyrenean climbs and scenery through your trip. Tail winds! What an incredible region to cycle through.

Ah. Technology.

You should go in the next time. Seniors are half-price and it’s well done (though not all of the works are to my taste).

I think you’re correct. The description online matches.

We’ve been in Bilbao three times now and somehow have never made it inside the museum. You’re making me feel better about that.

Chinaberry?

Glad I'm not the only one who doesn't get it.

We still think either this one or the one from all those years ago looks like something a not particularly talented 6 year old could pull off. But then, as they say, art is in the eye of the beholder.
