Europa Hotel San Sebastián - Donostia

Tom and Sue took the day to zip to Bilbao (1:45 south of Biarritz) to see the famous Guggenhiem Museum. Wow, what a building!! The exhibits pale in comparison, but still we enjoyed a solid 4 hours at the museum. Afterwards, we drove back to San Sebastian where Sue introduced me to Alona Berri, the ...

I don't really need to tell you what we did do I? Take one part playground, one part beach, and one part sunset and you have a Kramer day in Biarritz.<br><br>            <br>

... Dispite the language barriers they had a lovely time exploring the basque country side. What did we do? Why go to the beach, of course!!<br><br>                      <br>

... the kids slept. Tom did a little surfing and another nice sunset was enjoyed during dinner.<br><br>                    <br>

... only look good. After our first night, we realized they sit out on the bar all day, so who knows how long they sit there. I had a horrible stomac ache after our first night... no wonder. For our second tapas experience, we ordered off the menu and we had Kanguroo Tacos and Shark. It was absolutely delicious.<br><br>As for ...

... lunch. Unfortunately, I was told that on the terrace, it wasn&#8217;t possible to order pintxos, only the larger raciones. D&#8217;oh! Despite being on a back alley, I still preferred sitting outside on the terrace, because it was a pleasant day.

Pension Edorta is in the Parta Vieja which is why i couldn't reach it - there is no access to cars ...

... bag storage system is broken so there is no where in town to store your bags. The next 12 hours were split between being in the trian station and getting soaked while we walked the city looking for food. From my brief impression of the city, you can tell it is beautiful. I guess I will have to come back when it is not a downpour all day. Another long day of waiting is done and now a most uncomfortable train ride to Barcelona

... mix of americans, aussies, and swedes). So here is how the race goes. The whole point of the race is to move the 6 huge bulls from their storage pen, on the north side of the city, to the arena where later on that day they will be in a bull fight and killed. So everyday for a week a new set of 6 bulls are charged through the streets of Pamplona to the arena. The race starts at 8am and consists of about a 900m stretch of ...

... which just kept bringing out hot fresh food, so it was great. It's the dodgy ones that have the food sitting there for 8 hours before you eat it which you have try and avoid. San Seb was really loud at night. It is very much a party town and people are out all night and all morning. It is full of tiny streets with little shops and Tapas bars. It's a fun place but was overshadowed a bit for us by the **** weather.
