 Friday 28 September 2012 Llanes to Bilbao

Took the back roads again wending our way from bay to bay along the coast. 

Stopped in town called Camillos where  men were cutting hay up on hillside above sea probably to avert fire risk. Lyndsay, Helen and I walked down to sea here while Rod explored  cemetery across the road. Had lunch ( nice chicken rolls from previous night’s dinner) on bench near yacht club .

Arrived in Bilbao about 3pm and Mrs Tom Tom took us straight to the door of our hotel, the Hotel Sirimiri close to river and at end of the tram line.

We bought what we thought was a 10 trip ticket on the tram ,had  difficulty validating but continued and went to the end of line, walked through long avenue down to river, getting a bit cool here so each bought new jumpers in Chinese shop for €3.95 each, big spenders !. Saw the lovely little electric Renault Twizy that I had seen in Soria in showroom, back on tram, which has grass along line as well like Nice and Barcelona, to last stop right opposite our hotel

Dinner in old town, beans were great.
