Waking up 2 hours before you need to get up at 5am and not being able to get back to sleep is unkind. However, it’s now 1.30pm and I have had a beer and some pintxos in a local bar in Bilbao so the horrid o’clock feels like it was last week. Husband has nicked all the hangers for his now well-creased wardrobe. There has also been one costume change as we are set to meet up with Elke, our guide, who will show us Bilbao by bike, with numerous stops in more bars to eat more pintxos and gaze at the amazing buildings that look out at you all around town. The pintxos so far have been great – tortilla, little hamburgers with eggs, tuna and anchovy rolls, and some delicious cake. More photos to come!
