An unexpected turn of events. The captain announced yesterday morning that the weather in the port to follow Bilbao was too bad for us to venture into and that we would stay over night in Bilbao and tour here for two days.
The port is 9 miles from town, so it requires a shuttle. We were on an early bus and walked the city for about two hours. It is quite prosperous, clean and modern. The old city is also very well taken care of. They have cleaned their buildings of many years of pollution and grime and the stonework inside the churches has been cleaned so you can really se what the original creation is like.
Today we go to the Guggenheim Museum. Tomorrow we visit Bordeaux.
Another dream come true...to see the tombs of the pharaohs. For over a month, we will explore the ancient wonders of western civilization from Egypt to Britain. We will fly to Cairo and on to Luxor, then we will board Regent Voyager in Safaga, Egypt to sail on to Jordan, Israel, Turkey, Greece, Italy, France, Spain, Portugal and England.
