There were local tourism staff in the Atruim giving out advice and maps, and we were soon on the shuttle bus to be dropped off in the centre of Bilbao, where once again more local tourism staff were on hand to give advice. All very well organised
We had no plans on what to do when we arrived, but as the Guggenheim museum was only a 10 minute walk, we went in that direction.
We had seen the building from a hill top many years ago on a tour, so it was great to see it close up.
And what a magnificent building it is, with no straight line in sight.
The queue to go in was not that long, and at only €8 a bit of a bargain.
Inside is even more stunning than the out side, and if you have any interest in photography, then it really is a dream building.
From a art perspective, I am the first to acknowledge that I know nothing about art.
However I know what I like, and what I don't.
Most of the art works I found stunning, but the aircraft hanger sized room with very large sheets of bent steel did leave me very cold, but then what do I know.
The weather had vastly improved by the afternoon, so we sat up on deck 17 in the glorious sunshine.
Then it was time to get ready for our meal in the Epicurean, as we made our way to the crows nest for a pre dinner drink, I thought I would just call in to check the time of our booking, only to find the booking was for today ( Thursday ) Oops.
So this afternoon we have our walking tour with Eric Lanlard, for patisseries and wine tasting.
As its a sea day tomorrow, my last blog will not be posted until Saturday when we return.
I will then write a cruise review following that.
So until then
Bye bye
