Ibiltze Hotel Lasarte 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 ...

... like there is little there other than the Basilica de Nuestra Senora del Pilar.<br><br>The problem is that it's a long bus from San Sebastian to Barcelona, and Zaragoza would break up the journey nicely. If I stayed an extra night, I'd spend most of the following day getting to Barcelona. I could stay for the candle light vigil and catch a night bus to Barcelona, but the bus schedule wouldn't allow me to stay very long for the vigil ...

... it and it fits out queen-side blowup bed with room.  Another thing I like / am intrigued by is the tent's name - Fireblazer 500.  There are warnings all over it not to get it close to fire as it's very flammable.  You'd think they could come up with a less alarming name, like cozyPalace, gentleGiant, or less-likely-to-catch-fire-than-the-othe r-tents. Fireblazer just doesn't seem to capture the sense of security you're looking for.  <br>After setting up the tent, we went ...

... of kindness, I offered to pay. I was nervous about the bill. Inigo had said this wasn't going to be cheap. But for all six of us to eat, plus four ciders and two juices for the hijos it was only 24 euros. Not bad at all. I couldn't stop smiling and expressing my pure excitement and pleasure. Enjoying the evening with my family, new friends, and outrageously good food ... it was just too much. Goose bumps, hair standing on end, ... I was getting ...

... with our jeans sweaters and ponchos. By midnight we were popsicles and we wandered off in search of warmer territory which we found in a ditch by some handball courts near the towns star shaped park. after a long night of cuddling cody and i awoke to find the entire city dressed in white jump suits and red scarves. This was the beggining of san fermin, possibly the craziest festival on earth. Starving, we walked to a nearby shop and bought an apple, loaf of bread ...

I pulled into what looked like downtown Kansas City or any other modern city. Unlike all other Europen cities, there was no graffiti and all the buildings and roads were new and nice. Where in the world the cobble stone streets and old buildings where the run takes place was beyond me. I see some Aussies in the park and ask them where the good camps sites are. They are on a tour that is camped at El Manino, near a small village about 15 miles south of Pampalona. I pull into ...
